i alrdy plan to do bars and tyre+rim

haha sry sry...forgot 2 state my preference...i'm going for lightweight 17"...stock is 205/55/R16 alloy...main benefits i'm looking for is improve handling and body roll as well as better FC...

lol...okok...then how bout juz improve handling and better at high speed cornering?any suggestions for tat?

hmm...will it b the recommended tyre spec works best if install all other setups as specified in the sheet?coz definitely i won't touch the suspension and other things tat will void warranty...

err alrdy updated my requirement...any recommendation?pls recommend something at least...

yea planning to install those bars but not springs lo...later void my warranty ler...but for now bars should help la...i heard someone installed front strut, rear antiroll and tower bar or something like tat...wat is tower bar?

wat do u mean by keep speedo range?the odometer will deviate from normal range?comfort can be compromised to a certain extent lo...i know if use bigger tyre profile will cut down the comfort...but it's ok as long as not cut down alot...

so tower bar is actually the front strut link?

well i love focus but it's compact car...if it's bigger abit then i will definitely go for it...i heard civic ride is hard no comfortable...

haha yea...will b driving it soon...hvn't take the car since waiting for next alphabet...1.8G...

haha...thx thx how bout u?planning 2 get new car?

huh wat's wider?car or tyre lolz...or something else

oic...i'm planning to go for 215/45/R17 but not sure which brand and series is good...so far recommended ones r michelin ps3, goodyear eagle f1 assymmetric (not the latest assymmetric 2) and directional 5, hankook v8 and v12, conti premium contact 2...any idea?

hmm...not sure wat's average mid range tyre will cost...but of coz not so expensive and high-end la...not going 2 use my car 2 race lol...juz wanna improve handling and cornering stability...but i dowan trade off comfort so much lo...later bcome very bumpy...so mid-end tyres should fare well...i know GY F1 A2 and PS3 damn expensive...but i juz put it up as info...not going 4 it...

lol...good review but those test r somewat more suitable for race cars...

wow my pocket alrdy going 2 burn big hole...wan use those tyres...the hole straight away disappear along with my pants lolz...any mid-end tyres to recommend?

icic...hankook v12 and proxes t1r is it good all-rounder tyre?xm2 is fuel saving but in terms of handling and cornering stability seems not good

icic...ok...i saw got people posted a tyre review by germany mag but not sure how 2 find it...google can't find...do u know of this?

if GY F1 A1 consider mid-end?A2 is its replacement/successor rite?

how much F1A1?its performance will b on par with v12 and t1r?

lets say if i use 215/50/R17 or 215/55/R17 tyres will it b ok?i won't b going for the new F1 series coz over budget liao...im' hoping mayb F1A1 got similar performance as v12 or c.drive2...will it b?how much per piece?

hmm ok...then u got experience using v12?how was it?

hmm...more inclined towards better handling and cornering stability but not 2 the extent whole ride became very bumpy and noisy lo

kinda expected tat...saw a few good reviews on v12...seems like a mid-end all rounder choice of tyre..is it better to change to 215/45/R17 profile or stick to 205/55/R16 profile but change better tyre?
