Yokohama Advan dB has a reputation of comfortable and good wet and dry traction....

ya its the original profile(60) but its not a big deal because i'd prefer to change into lower profile tyre maybe 55 or 50.

Seriously bro, just get the PS3. You'll never regret it. The awesome thing about the tire is that its eerily quiet. Even when you push the tire to the limit, understeer or skidding due to hard braking, the tire squeel is nowhere near to what you're used to. This is coming from someone who've used shitty Silverstone, value for money Hankook Ventus V12, All-rounder Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 and finally the PS3 and although the tire is the most expensive of the bunch, it beats all the tires in every single way in terms of braking, accelerating, cornering and noise.

overall agree with u on PS3, but in quietness dept, Primacy LC wins smile.gif
i changed from shitty NCT5 to Primacy LC, so big difference, makes me wonder if NCT5 is really a tyre doh.gif
after that changed to PS3, a bit noisier but fantastic wet grip... Water puddles are nothing, just slice thru shocking.gif
next one going to try XM2 in another few months smile.gif

I never know there is PS3 for Camry size. I wanted to use it on my Accord previously but the shop Hup Shun said PS3 were not available, then I opted for XM2 which performs great.

They do not give us for a reason. Probably our cars are too heavy to be fitted 55 profile? I don't know.. but there should be a reason as I said.

yeah man, XM2 is a totally different range with PS3 sweat.gif

If you're used to cornering with the PS3, you're gonna curse like hell when you're on the XM2 lol.

its just not factory spec. simple as that. some workshop won't want to mess with factory specs, but if you ask me, the diff between profile 55 and 60 is minimal, even negligible.

The Bridgestones lose their wet grip after 20,000 to 30,000 kms. After that they aquaplane like nobody's business and RWD become sensitive to the slightest hits of power in the wet.

The S-drives are OK in the wet. They're the stockers that come with the Evo and I suppose the AWD makes up for the shite wet grip since you have power on 4. I currently drive on these.

The P-Zero Neros are awesome handlers, but they cost a bomb, have the lifespan of a mayfly and their NVH jacks up a few notches as they get older.

i'm using Bridgestone RE080 (stock 185/60R15) in my current car, so XM2 (upgrading to 195/55R15) will be a lot better smile.gif

my other car is on PS3 but usually don't drive that fast due to the bodyroll
