Choose 45 if u dont mind bumpy but better in performance,
Choose 50 if u want slightly comfort.

what car is urs?

how much budget u got?

what kind of performance u looking for ?
good dry and wet grip ?
comfort level?
handling ?

dont tell me u wan all in one

Depends on what's the std tire size of your car. 215/50/17 will be much more comfortable though as the sidewall is much thicker by 1cm compared to 215/45/17.

Toyo T1S.
GT Radial HPY.

Thanks

Thanks

Then stick with 215/45/17 to get choices for high performance tire

Can opt for gy f1a2, ps3, Advan DB, toyo t1s, Nitto neogen since ur budget allow
All above tire are asymmetric and Threadwear below 300
That mean less noise and good grip

Do not buy continental as it does not last me more than 10 months ! Now trying michelin .. Honestly I missed pirelli tyres

PS3 thread wear is actually 320, while F1 is 300. Advan DB I think is even higher. Advan Sport though is very low at only 180/240 depending on size. T1S is also only 180.

ADVAN DB 280

Advan Sport v105 220 if im not wrong
V103 180

TOYO T1S 240

umm if you really want performance, there's always Pilot super sport.

and when it comes to price vs performance ratio, almost everything will beat michelin except premium/top of the line flagship tires such as Yokohama's Advan series or Bridgestone higher end Potenzas for example.

just mention not only Michelin can make good tire , and always consider the price also

there are still alot choices with the budget TS have
btw TS seem like missing so guess he wont need our assist anymore

I m still here la....
Currently making my decision on PS3/Asy2 ...
Cos i saw reviews on PS3 is that the sidewall is quite soft....
Any impact on that???

personally gy eagle f1 as2.
iinm also cheaper than ps3.

and good year's wet grip is legendary

but it does.
you just need to pay money.

Change from 45 to 50 profile tyre will make the speedometer inaccurate by a lot. The 50 tyre is much bigger than 45. Best to stick to original size.

You can't compare one company rating to another company rating. Each maker have their own way of doing the test so it will not be accurate. Only can compare with the maker few patterns.

True that it's not 100% accurate but still a useful indicator.
It's like engine specifications as well, for example both the Lancer Evo & Impreza STI are rated at say 280HP but one is a bit faster than the other and yet still you can get a good indication of how much performance both of them capable of, which is surely way faster than an average 100-200hp sedan, but still much slower than a 500HP GTR.
