Sorry, you could only find Dunlop J5 for that size. You need bigger wheels to fit the D05.

Was also deciding between this (d05 or Falken ziex 914) but then I got offer for Falken ziex 914 ecorun @ rm125 a piece (week 25 year 2016) for 195/50r15. So I took it since online reviews for these tyres are pretty good (85% positive)

Pretty great so far biggrin.gif

Ditched the Tyre after nearly 40000km since installed a year ago.
Really whack the tyre 9 9. Size 205-55-16
Bought it for rm225 per piece a year ago at weng Heng. Their alignment sux.

Initial stage, everything decent. Could do dry high speed at 160km/h highway cruising not much issue but dry grip start to fade by then. Its good enough for the price paid. I am not expecting Ps3 performance anyway.

Wet grip to me, decent. Somehow wet grip start to fade as Tyre wear. When thread left 50%, aqua planning quite obvious. Again, this is budget tyre. I need to have high concentration while driving during rainy day, especially when I cruise on North-South highway.

For the price paid, now there are hankook ventus 2 concept, Achilles atr sport as alternative. Considering trying other brand soon.

dont think the v2 hankook is better than the dunlop.it skids on wet road just like the falken 522.
achiles might be better or maxxis ipro for that that price range.

although the traction rating for v2 is AA but car skids when apply immediate brake on wet road.initially i though it is good as well.
still the v2 indonesia cant compare with the v12.v12 korea is better a lot.

Atr sport. At least good experience on my brother e60 and friend's w204.
E60 did a lot highway cruising above 200km/h dry, he is happy with it.

Many people question me to take Achilles atr sport over the ventus 2 concept though.
Let hope I will not regret the purchase.


V12 cost a lot more too....

I think highway cruising even at 200kph in the dry won't tell much about tire performance other than probably noise and comfort level. If in the wet then may tell a bit more about aquaplaning resistance and some wet grip. When tackling bends then that will tell a lot more again. ATR Sport does not have as good grip as other high performance tires, seems more like mid-level performance tires instead but advertised as high performance. You can see the tread wear is also rather high at 400 which normally indicates using rather hard compound which would not give good grip like more well known high performance tires which are around 300 or lower.

Dunlop d05 doesn't do too well in high speed cruising in dry. Grip started to fade above 150km/h. Tyre started to become bouncy.

Atr sport isn't high performance tyre anyway, unless someone trust the traction AA rating so much. Somehow many E-segment and above vehicles use them a lot due to the cost and frequency of changing. E-segment cars are heavy and not all willing to pay rm600 per tyre and change every 20000km. Many would be willing to settle for cheaper alternative that have decent reputation.

Thus far, the better tyre that I tried on my car was Goodyear f1d5. It's really grippy for the price paid. Let hope atr sport do a bit better than d05 on my car.

Well if can afford big cars should be able and willing to afford good tires too! I seen way too many people driving big expensive cars, using big rims (18 or above) but yet settling for some cheapo tires like this ATR or even worse some unknown China brand crap tires, quite an irony.

Now F1D5 is a good tire! I had used it before too, just a bit more prone to chipping like PS3 if driven more aggressively, but overall performance is great. You should've stayed with that instead of the ATR.

does high threadwear of ventus2 the main issue of it did not grips well with the road? I'm thinking of getting ventus 2 for its reliability but worrid about the grip and noise
