difference on fc is very2 minute to be noticeable. only difference on speedometer reading that is clearly noticeable
changing tyres and rims, u should be more aware on the speedometer in my opinion smile.gif
eg: u thought u were driving on speed limit, but speed trap camera said otherwise -->> got summon tongue.gif

i see, so the actual speed is faster than speedometer of slower?

people have been endorsing me to use this: http://www.kouki.co.uk/utilities/visual-tyre-size-calculator
and this: http://www.1010tires.com/tiresizecalculato...-cde-gen-by-svr
so i think it should be good enough for projection purposes smile.gif

EDIT:
experts said u should not exceed 3% difference between new and former profile tyres. so just changed to ps3 tyres in that range bro brows.gif

i think so, now researching infor between PS3 and GY D5~ do you have any experience on it?

both no. but i think ps3 is the better choice even though very expensive
i never see or heard anyone, up to this day, who bad mouth ps3

according to the price list from forum, PS3 price range around 235 to 275, consider very expensive?
Anyway if really a good tyre, worth to spent the money. It protect us when driving too.

I've been using the GY F1 D5 for more than a month now and so far pretty happy with it. Got pretty good grip and seems to be good value for the money. The PS3 is also a very good tyre but quite a lot more expensive. The most obvious advantage of the PS3 vs the GY D5 is that the PS3 is non-directional asymetrical, so it's still easy to rotate in any direction. The D5 is directional so can only rotate in one side. Another thing is the PS3 should be more silent. The D5 is slightly noisy in my opinion.

thanks your info, i havent go to tyre shop to get quotation yet, but what i saw from tyre price list here, PS3 and D5 is similar in price. How much you got for your G5?

c drive 2 was in my list before due to it has the stock size i need. but after reading about grips, then only i start searching PS3 and D5.
what i concern is the safety at first place. My car was fishtailed before while driving 90km/h in highway.
i made up decision must change good tyre from stock Silverstone.

Comparing to the existing good year and the kumho solus that i have on my ride, its better than the latter two.

The comfort and noise level is good..
Way better than what i expected on a RM190 tyre.

I would recommend it.

Thanks your info : ), i will go to tyre shop and request for quotation soon.

i do a lot of hard driving myself despite that i shouldn't do that on a comfort tire.

regardless, my view on ps3 = overhype + overpriced
D5 = directional = shit noise

So do you have recommended tyre can suggest me??? I'm new on this..
