QUOTE(kingsleysoh59 @ Jan 24 2013, 07:42 PM) I'm also planning to change tyres, but don't know what to get. I'm comparing between the CC5, Yokohama C-Drive 2 and Hankook V12 Evo. Which has the best performance in the wet? between the choices you mentioned, hankook v12 should have the best wet grip as it has directional grooves. cc5 and c drive 2 would be quite identical in comfort/low NVH, however cc5 has better treadwear while c drive 2 has better dry/wet grip and traction  |

QUOTE(kingsleysoh59 @ Mar 9 2013, 01:25 PM) Hey guys. Thanks for all the replies. I have now changed to Yokohama C.Drive 2. Everything is good so far, only problem is a bit noisy. Anyone else having the same problem? c drive 2 are among the quietest tires ive used/experienced, have you checked if it isnt bearing issue or other issue that may cause noise? |

QUOTE(kingsleysoh59 @ Mar 11 2013, 03:51 PM) The bearings are all ok. I noticed the noise the moment I drove off from the tire shop. With the previous tires (Michelin PS3 195/55 R15) there were no noticeable noises. my experience with ps3 (at same/similar size) are noisier than c drive 2 though. hence i am curious what you may be facing |

QUOTE(kingsleysoh59 @ Mar 16 2013, 10:51 AM) 2 days ago, I heard a loud metallic noise while turning a sharp corner. Later found out one of the bearings in one of the inner CV joint was broken. Replaced the whole driveshaft and the tyre noise was noticeably softer, but it's still there. hmm perhaps inspect the wheel bearings, tie rods/bush etc?  (loud metallic noise should not relate to tire noise anyways) |
