what abt yokohama C drive?
i saw it scored quite high in those review sites(rated by users)

mainly for comfort/low NVH. and i would assume c.drive2, c drive is an old gen tire smile.gif

i know
but from that site i see....C drive 2 score still low cuz still new i guess
cuz that site...users of the tyre drive until change only they go give score
and C drive scores quite high there
*
biggest flaw of c.drive 2 is still the treadwear, that could affect ratings/reviews.

that and its wet performance is definitely not up to par on performance tires from michelin/goodyear/bridgestone, or even the cheaper korean kumho/hankook v12 variants smile.gif

Beside ps3, is there no others brand model can compare with it? Like cheaper but performance not different so much.

you can look into goodyear/bridgestone

then there are the japanese yokohama/toyo

scaling further down would be the koreans (kumho/hankook), even further down indonesia (GT radial/achilles)

u can go search tyre review.

which they took several tyres and compare.

in terms of wet & overall

GY F1Ass2 > PS3
F1A2 is above GSD5  ( no more GSD3, but ppl claimed GSD3 is better than GSD5).

F1A2 and PS3 very very emphasis on wet, which is very important in malaysia. Dry grip is nothing unless u go sepang. rainy day we see malaysian accident very frequent.

but look at the groove on GSD5, i would say wet performance is not as good as PS3.

simple, look at ps3 and F1A2, the straight groove is big....GSD5 is V thread for dry grip biggrin.gif

directional tires are primarily for wet traction.
V treads or directional treads have NO ADDITIONAL benefits compared to regular tires (or asymmetrical tires) for dry performance, grip or traction smile.gif
do note that grip and traction while inter-related, are different things altogether.

the only drawback for directional tires are less options for tire rotations, and tire noise.

ah, yes u are right.

biggrin.gif the F1 D5 also has straight groove smile.gif

well, another thing to note is AS2 is GY's flagship UHP and price ranges of rm500-1.7k. (give/take)
while D5 is mid-range UHP and ranges from rm300-800+

so logically, AS2 should be better than D5 smile.gif

Since both the V12 and the F1 D5 is rated as UHP tires, the XM2 rated as normal use fuel-saving tires, and the PS3 trumps both the V12 and F1 D5, i won't go for the XM2 lol.

different tires, different purpose. nuff said smile.gif

Just fit 195/50/R15 in my myvi...Grip is good, still need to drive longer to test the performance for PS3...Each rubber is not that cheap, but hope it's worth for value.

ps3 should be worth its value. among the best all rounder tires (dry/wet/NVH/treadwear)

the only downside i can find from ps3 is probably the price.
