Anyone have any idea which of these models compared would be better? Priority on comfort/noise/long lasting....

Hankook Kinergy EX - at RM 245.00 per piece
Goodyear Assurance Triplemax - at RM 250.00 per piece
Toyo DRB - Price not found yet

Or are there any other better recommendations for the size above? Thanks!

If you want comfort, stick to the same size, but now much choices. All 3 is comfort tyre.

If you want to have more grip performance but sacrifice some comfort, you can change to 205/45R16 size, this size you can find more choices of tyre patterns.

How about Yokohama C.Drive 2?


Currently on ContiPremiumContact2, it slides and skids around too much during corners

I want a performance tyre, but I really dont want to change to 205/45/16 if I can..

Toyo Proxes T1R is available for this size but the model is too old and reviews says langsung cannot use in the rain/wet road

Yeah, i don't like the Continental CPC2 either...will consider the Yokohama one as well if the size fits, thanks for the feedback!

can try achiles atr sport or achiles atr sport.from personal experience i feel its better than cpc2 in terms of water and grip.

for nice soft grippy tires, try Toyo T1R

about rm330 per piece

Review says its really bad in wet condition, how true is that?

How about Falken ZE914?

have used it for more than a year now.

never slipped, never aquaplanned (notorious in CPC2), never squeal

195/50R16 you can try MC5

can try Yokohama AR01 - RM235 Weng Heng Bukit Kemuning
that is price for 195/50/R16 size..

If the CPC2 is already bad enough, would the MC5 be any better?

Not much choices if you still want to stick with this size. Best if you change to 205/45R16, got many choices.

I tried MC5 before on my Satria, grip not bad, around the same with PS3.

I see, so now the best option for this size is either this MC5, Falken ZE914 and Toyo T1R

Not easy to find Falken tires in Penang, i hardly see any signs of it over here.

using it last time, bad in wet and dry not as good as PS3, never buy it again.. i buy last time due to PS3 no stock..

can take into consideration for Yokohama AR01

from Yokohama website it says the C Drive 2 is better

u can try it 1st... then can reply here.. i hardly try yoko tyres..

Ar1 lousy tires for its price.

Seriously? I never try it.. The review from uk tyres seem good.. How bad it is? Wet dry?

the wear is phenomenal at the expense of wet grip (massive slow down and does not cut through water well enough) whilst hard side walls make driving very firm

seem similar to previous tyre i use, Toyo T1R.. really bad in wet n the grip is nowhere near PS3.. thanks bro for ur feedback..

you used PS3 at this size too?

how much per tire? i would love to swap to these

i think PS3 dont have this size.. now i use 195/55/15.. i also plan to change to 195/50/16 coz this size is the most suitable size upgrade for vios from 15' to 16'..

No one with experience with the Toyo DRB instead of the T-1R?

Well, all the good tyres are available on 195/50/15 , but not an inch larger 195/50/16..

Lol my thoughts exactly

Saw someone selling this



Its sort of an old tyre though.. Launched in 2008/2009

The tyre almost bald, maybe left 30% only. See the middle sipes on below picture from a new tyre.


My advise is just change size to 205/45R16 and get 003, I believe can get less than RM300 per piece

Some more don't know what year the tyre is manufactured. Remember, aged used tyre is dangerous.

Bro, are you sure can get less than RM300/pc? Yesterday i checked at a tyre shop in JB, price stated on the tyre is around RM400/pc. Don't know can nego or not, didn't bother to ask.

yes..some shop selling at rm 290 excluding gst.maybe can get cheaper also.

Falken Ze914 195 50 16 rm200/pc exc. Gst....am going to gamble on this..

This post has been edited by redrose9802: Aug 19 2015, 01:29 PM

quite cheap.. where bro?

review seem gooding.. but not sure how it perform here..

Forgot the shop name, that jeff guy from mudah who sold rims...but if you go directly to stamford tyres glenmarie it's rm240/pc inc. GST & installation.

I'm taking the review rating with a pinch of salt since it's customer testimonies not expert review...like MLM, hahaha.

Btw, i'm not looking for outright performance but focuses more on balancing it with comfort and reliability. >98% of the time I drive like normal people on the road, so its not sensible for me to spend more for performance.

Previous tyres i've used conti cpc2, adrive r1 and nitto neogen. Also i've used re002 and ps3 on my other cars. There's no denying ps3 is a very good tyre but theres always that little regret inside me on why i spend so much money on tyre that i will never push to the limit.

My advise is to prioritise on the NEEDS rather than WANTS.

This post has been edited by redrose9802: Aug 19 2015, 08:35 PM

Will wait for your feedback later

Initial impression, i think it's an okay tyre. Grip performance definitely not on RE002 or PS3 level, but still decent....wet performance dunno yet.

Noise wise, better than PS3, but not as comfy as CPC2...for its price, okaylah.

Nothing to shout about...

Hi guy,
Any information on where to buy c drive 2, 195/50/16 ?
Thanks

i think the extra grip from PS3 will be NEEDS when emergency braking..
we never know when will be something goes wrong.. just precaution step..

i believe c drive 2 doesnt comes in this size.

Yup, save my life once...but I think VSC intervention also critical.

Tested the ze914 while it was raining last weekend, should be ok if you limit yourself to 90kmh...

yup, thinking wanna try ZE914 with 195/50/16 size.. coz i got extra set rims 16', so might be wanna try it 1st..

According to Yokohama website, yes it does

i suppose they didnt bring in. have been asking anywhere. all the shops say this size doesnt have.

Mind asking.. what is the recommended rim width for 205/50/16. Not very clear on the posting. Is it 6.5-7.5 or 5.5-7.5 ?
Thanks

Looking to try Dunlop Formula D05 for 195/50/16 once my CPC2 wears out, I really cannot tahan this tyre, "buang" at every corner..

Changed into another cpc2 early this year. The new thread is better all around compared to last time I changed 2 years ago. Noticeably more comfort and silence compared to previous one. But grip might be the same, rarely spirited driving nowadays.

bro, hows ZE914.. i saw this tyre did have 195/55/16 n the groove a bit similar with my current nt8000.. satisfy with nt8000 so far..

Can be from 6-7.5, best is 6.5-7.

Haven't try it yet bro..

Just installed these 195/50/16 tyres will see how they perform..

Send them a message stating your location, they will reply the nearest tyre shop which carries the momo tyre

Bro, mind sharing review this momo tyres?

So far so good, went to genting touge event, at the corners very stable, no screeching like the old conti cpc2 tyre, normal driving also very quiet, very comfortable..

Hi guys,

anyone using Dunlop brand at this specs? Am looking at Direzza, Formula D05 and SP Sport LM704.

Any idea about their pricing?

No Direzza DZ102 available for this size eventhough it was listed in Dunlop Malaysia's website. I called many Dunlop dealers and they asked HQ , no stocks officially imported to Malaysia.

Thanks mate. Settled for Continental MC5 instead.

Same tyre size, been suggest by tireman to go for Toyo DRB price around rm320 / 1unit after GST. Most important must be good grip when wet road and good performance. Hows this tyre overall? My Friend Driving Ford Fiesta 2014 hatchback.

Planning to try out Ze914 on my peugeot 407 - 215/55/17. Since u tried it last year, what r your thoughts?

Changed from stock Potenza RE080 to Toyo DRB since Jan 2016..

So far handling better than stock, dry grip Potenza better a bit, in wet conditions both very good...

Mediocre tyre...normal use only. Not so good grip when cornering or on wet day...

when they updated with new thread?
i changed it on 2014. 2013 stock
not sure is new or old thread.

hi, since this thread is kinda old, was wondering what is your current recommendation now for this size tires.. its a rare size, so a lot of brands don't have

Sifu, appreciate your help. Thanks!

various brand u can choose.
toyo/continental cpc2/deestone/maxxis m35/goodyear/bridgestone

Difficult, no really good ones here in Malaysia. Your car is Swift Sport or Ford Fiesta S, is it? I have a Swift Sport that comes stock with this same size also and I downsize to 15' so can easily get good UHP tires size 195/55/15. Otherwise you use 205/50/16 so can have a bit more choices like Michelin PS4 for example.

Recently changed from Toyo DRB to Goodyear Assurance Triplemax as well only. Not much other options, Continental tyres seems kinda expensive as well.

Im using yokohama advan fleva 195/50/16, quite good. Much better than cpc2 and momo m3 of the same size that i used previously

Yeah for this size seems only the V701 is available in UHP category in this local market.

hi bro, where to find Fleva for that size oh? Previously i use CPC2, a great upgrade from my Jazz stock Goodyear Excellent.

Since now my CPC2 bald, its time to change again..my CPC2 manage to clock about 45K KM.

I see there is a few new option beside Michelin XM2, Conti CC6 and Hankook V2.

There is a few new tire I havent heard of..Goodyear Assurance Triplemax, Maxxis M35 and Conti UC6.

Can advise bro?

assurance triple max grip is good but dont like the chipping issue

btw, i changed to CPC2 again..hahahaha

I picked up the Continental UC6 a couple days ago for my Fiesta. Early returns are quite good. It was pretty much the only model I could find in Seremban, so I didn't have much a decision to make. I figured may as well stay with the stock model, though.

Just installed Yokohama AE50 this size

any choices nowadays for 195/50/16

toyo drb
hankook
maxxis

can anyone give inputs with model and prices

Yokohama Advan Fleva
Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2
Continental Premium Contact 2

drb rm 205
hankook kinergy better avoid it.skids on wet
maxxis m35 rm 190

How bout kumho ps31, better than advan fleva or not for this size?

tried the ps31 previosly feeel hard and noisy.compared between the 2,prefer advan more.

Using yokohama bluearth AE-50 195/50/R16 on my Suzuki Swift Sport. Has been 1 month and noticed 3 things about this tyre:

1) Fuel Consumption has improved
2) Less noisy
3) Cuts through water

My friend using this tyre on inspira original 17 inch. I saw all the tyre are chipping and the wear is very rough. The car only drive at low speed in small city at Pahang. He did the basic maintenance such as check pressure and so on as well. I'm not sure about the quality. 🤔

Continental UC6 fit your criteria 😊

19550R16 Landsail LS388 for Ford Fiesta 2012. Anyone tried before?

advan fleva v701, good tyre on dry & wet but very fast botak.. (after 35k KM mileage, thread left 60% or less)

one thing is that when you cornering at highspeed (>80KM/h), you will hear the tyre Skid Screech Squeal sound all the way until you clear the corner:D but still grip on the ground.

That's normal for UHP category tires. After 35k km still left around 60% is actually still pretty good. Mostly just left around 30-40% I think.

anyone use this accelera 651?

well i did use it for size 205/50/16, almost a year now.. no problem at all.. it seem a decent tyre with 500 treadwear..
by the way, i used it on toyota sienta, mini MPV similar size as alza but heavier then alza.. the weight is around 1300kg

Anyone use this tyre before? Toyo TR1 , not T1R

I'm also thinking of changing to this from DRB. Same size as you 195/50/16.

Checked price with KOR at rm240 per tyre. Tek Ming rm245 per tyre.

This shop rm220
