Car: VIVA 14"  165/55/R14.
This is just my little opinion and experience of using Yokohama A-Drive, Continental CC5 and MAXXIS MA-E1. 

4 years ago i was using Yokohama A-Drive, and it was  RM12x in Klang. and quite long lasting, use till 2012 march I decide to change to continental CC5, but it was really disappointed me. drive 100km/h and above vibrate like hell, went to 5, 6 tyre shop, did more then 10 times balancing (include on wheel balancing) and conclusion is the tyre got problem (some workshop man told me) other than that, when i went into some sharp conner,  it like no grip at all, no choice but slow down... it coat me rm 160 in kL, so last week I decide to change it, i was looking for yokohama AD 07, but unlucky, only left three pcs. so the tyre shopp boss recommend me to use MAXXIS MA-E1, and it is RM140. This was reasonable price and really satisfy me, like going into some sharp conner , is MORE MORE MORE better than CC5, i know u guys may say CC5 is comfortable not for going fast and all, again, this is just my opinion. and no vibrate anymore, 150km/h also very stable. 

thanks for reading

Btw, TS, nice review. CC5 feels a lil bit on soft side. Decent (not great) on highway cruising..

confirm not me ...haha

Bro any comment on Maxxis IPro?

Continental CC5

pros: good grip , very quiet , comfy

cons : tyre not so long lasting around 15k - 20k km

on your experience i think defect unit.

i used conti cc5 as well before, and i too didnt like it. it lacked grip during corners and the grip during wet is poor. cc1 was a better tyre.

im using yokohams c drive2 now, and the difference between cc5 and cdrive2 is like the earth and the sky ( literal translation of langit dan bumi ..)

Sweet. That's how I would modify cars. Way too fast but very stock and cheap look. But yeah, very hardcore doing that in a Viva.

15k to 20k is short..thats 1 year to be exact. unless u lenjan kaw2.

yes its to short for me. dunno if i lenjan kaw2. but the grip is good.

I was told the same when I check out some tyre shop at shah alam

they ask me to go for Maxxis tyre instead CC5 (quoted for 165/55/r14)

the guy told me for that size, only Maxxis bring the V-shaped tread.. Im not sure how good is V-tread though

if u guys looking for performance tire for 165/55/14
do consider

yokohama Advan ad07

I just changed to CC5. But i feel it's so good compare to my old accelera + falken. But I haven try at speed over 110km/h yet.

yokohama Advan ad07 of course good lah,,, price also so NICE lol.... and hard to find in the market atm

you compare CC5 with falken

dude.. do you have any idea how is the tyre as compared to other tyre about its level i.e NCT5 / XM2?

i need to change my tyre now (for balik raya) but havent decide yet which one should i go for..

All tyre mentioned are about the same price, so i dont worry if it is RM10 different

how about Goodyear duraplus and YOko - A drive ? any command for falken 322? my car kenari oso using 165/55/R14
