QUOTE(bananabread @ Jul 25 2018, 11:19 PM) Good question. Cpc2 is better at this point, i used it before and i never have the float feeling, even at 150km/h. Cornering and maneuver, d05 better for me bcz harder side wall. thanks for your feedback. I'm driving honda city using 185/55/R16, but not much good tyre choices.Cpc2 cannot tahan long, for me. I am saying all this related to my honda city, other cars might have other result bcz diff tyre size. D05 is all round tyre. I would say perfect performance in dry and wet. So, gain some lose some. There is no perfect tyre it doesn't exist I'm using Goodyear Excellence, after about 3-4K wearout, it getting more and more noisy. Goodyear Excellence has hard sidewall and felt very floaty when above 110km/h, but cornering is really good and confident. I'm using 32Psi for both front and rear, if I use less than 32psi, it doesn't wear out evenly on the tyre thread. Did you try any other tyre besides Dunlop D05 and CPC2 on your honda city ?

QUOTE(bananabread @ Jul 26 2018, 02:15 PM) My uncle suggest me to consider wider tyre size such as 195/50/R16. The handling should be better due to thinner side wall and with wider contact patch, the floaty feel should be reduce. But I don't prefer wider tyre because the car will feel heavier since it require more resistance to move due to wider tyre. |

QUOTE(bananabread @ Jul 26 2018, 02:26 PM) Coreect. I eschew wider. Honda city is small and near compact. Wider meaning higher fuel consumption imho. I didn’t use Yokohama 185/55/R16 before. But I used Yokohama A-drive 185/60/R14 on my old car before. It’s medium sidewall hard but so far I like that coz the grip is quite reasonable especially when new.Who is using yokohama tyres 185/55r16 here? May I know how much psi you used during using cpc2 and current Dunlop D05 ? As I know higher psi will cause the car to have floating feel when drive high speed at highway. |

QUOTE(bananabread @ Jul 28 2018, 10:03 PM) Cpc2 started with 220 increase to 240 because makan thread outside. Wow... that is quite high with (240 to 250kpa) 35 to 36psi, definitely very bumpy/floating. You may need to reduce to 32psi, about 220kpa since the recommendation is about 32psi front, 30psi rear for Honda city manual.D05 stay with 240 to 250 psi. Even. |
