i dont think @allenultra is referring to f1d5 bro. Its dunlop d05. Btw, agree to you that f1d5 indeed is a good tyre.

In general yes. High tread wear rating means the tire uses more durable harder compound which usually has less grip. Softer compound will give more grip but then would not last as long, so that's the trade off. Just like in racing, when they use soft tires they can get faster lap times but then they cannot do as many laps as harder tires. So that's why if you look at low-mid performance range tires, they usually focus on durability and you can see most of them have tread wear rating 400 or above. Now if you look at UHP/max performance tires, then you see most of the tread wear are ranging between 200-340. Then after that you got the extreme which are usually just around 200 or lower. IMHO those ranging around 300 is the best balance of performance and durability coz they already can give excellent grip and can last long enough to around 40-60k km. Longer than that IMHO is useless as the tire is also already getting hardened even though the treads still rather thick. Hard durable tires only may be beneficial if you drive very long mileage like taxi drivers.

Yes he did coz he mentioned specifically "Goodyear f1d5" in his post above as the best tire he as ever used so far. Cannot be Dunlop mistaken typo for Goodyear mah, too different what! He had since downgraded to D05 then maybe now the ATR Sport, that's what I understood from his sentences above.

yea ka? didnt read from the start. my mistake. hahah. wanted to try f1d5 long ago too. but now, a lot competitors. susah to pick one. haha.

How much would it be for 185/55r16?

Buy big car can hutang 9 years.. Buy tyre, got to pay immediately... I think that is why...

Yeah I know, typical.

I saw online there is 195/60R16, may I know anyone knows which shop in Klang Valley got stock for this size?

too bad D05 doesnt available for 14".

Anyone can recommend similar all rounder tire for 175/65R14?

Price for 235/40/18 & 245/35/18

can try 185/60/14 dunlop lm704 which is available for that size.

does it have similar performance, and most importantly, price range?

i havent really tried them lol..not so soon changing my tyres and no friends want to change tyre recently,else i can try their cars.hehe.btw i looked at the review quite good.

I just bought Dunlop Formula D05.
Got it for RM148 each for 195/55/R15.

So far I'm very satisfied. The grip D05 offers is indeed very excellent in dry.
It's even better in wet. Noise is better than ATR Sport 2 and Ecopias.

currently daily car use v12evo2.worth for its price.
the price for dunlop lm704 is indeed affordable.read the review from uk and sg quite good too.

Hye.thinking of changing my old tyres 15' for my saga. Heard good review for dunlop d05. Is it really ok in term of comfort and noise level? Many also reccomend nano energy 3 which is better between this two guys. Coz right now im using falken ziex and it is really really noisy.

Dunlop. Toyo has tendency to "buang" where it's most needed. Search the forum. Continental CC6 also out.
