falken ze912 is not for comfort drive since it mean for performance drive..
plus ze912 is a cheap tire for performance type of tyre...

Yoko C drive2 is stand between Comfort and Performance..

i only tried ze912 and Cdrive2 on my previous Gen2..and for performance indeed i love ze912 more since better grab while raining..
thats why need sacrifice comfort to archive better performance.

my experience with ze912 is very noisy but not bumpy like what u said...maybe becoze i just change all absorber?
usually cruise my Gen2 at 130km-170km with great driving experience...

if u got enuf money can buy those ALL season performance and comfort tyre but unfortunately usually those tyre comes with 16INCH min..

i never tried xm2 but look like many review said xm2 is great tyre for comfort drive

becoz it is a cheapo tire..

a good falken tire is Azenis PT722...

i am using xm1. it got a squeaky sound when cornering in carpark.
for yoko a drive , it is smooth without sound.

noise wise, not sure lo din compare them...

xm1 produce squeaky sound

means~!~~

i am a good tire... laugh.gif

mean the tire have a better grip levels

unlike the cheapo yoko a drive

indeed yoko A drive is eco tire..very cheapo. but less grip, less squeky sound, high risk to aquaplanning in wet road
yoko Cdrive2 is more expensive and more better


Added on December 12, 2012, 8:47 pmfor YOKO tire currently i want to try YOKO ADVAN DB since the review is very interesting

maybe my next change is YOKO ADVAN DB

that is not necessarily true. squeak != better grip

hehe...

yes i pop up wrong info..

but squeak sound usually show how the tire is highly contacted with the road surface...
and unfortunate the wear-resistant maybe not good to this type of tire...that why squeak sound can be heard

the best tire is less squeak and better grip laugh.gif
