Yes, your size is wider but ur car should be heavier than mine.
So it will offset the imbalance.
Anyway, i could't find this 'pull one side' issue on my previous CPC2 even i hit one side.
In addition, CPC2 has wider aquaplaning channel compared with V12 even it came with 4 grooves . (CPC2 only 3 grooves ) -For my size.
Meanwhile, the grooves did connect to sidewall and this add another space to evacuate the water.
However，the disadvantages is CPC2 too noisy and V12 has lower noise compared with it.




At the meantime,any recommendation for my next change?
Below is my choices:

PS3
Kumho HS51
P1 cinturato verde
Advan Fleva V701.

Yes, the CPC2 has more cuts especially on the side blocks which help water evacuation further but as I mentioned will be at the expense of dry grip especially during hard cornering as the weight transfer relies on the shoulder blocks to maintain grip. That's why UHP tires mostly have bigger outer blocks for this purpose.
Surprising also that the CPC2 is noisy, it's supposed to be comfort mid-range tires after all! In that case other than good aquaplaning resistance, this tire actually does not have much else to offer, isn't it?

Out of your choices, no brainer go for the PS3 if still available though. It's UHP tire with excellent aquaplaning resistance (you can see the tread cuts also quite a lot especially for a UHP class tire), should be matching if not better than the CPC2 in this regard, yet it should trounce the CPC2 in dry performance. The main weakness of PS3 is it will chip a bit more when driven hard.

Kumho, I would stay way from it coz I never heard any good reviews or feedback form ANY Kumho tires! For Korean tires Hankook is top dog, much better than Kumho or Nexen.

Pirelli P1, that's just entry level comfort tire, maybe similar to CPC2 or even lower! If you want to go for Pirelli mid-range tire, at least go for the P7 (but not sure if available for your size).

V701, got mixed reviews, some here says decent but pro reviews in Europe says it's bad especially in the wet! So I'm not sure about this, but my guess it's not better than the V12 Evo2, maybe worse actually and the price is more expensive too.

Have you checked out the Goodyear F1D5 though if it's available for your size? If it is, then this should come second to the PS3. I've used this before and pretty happy with them, but it also has chipping like PS3 when driven hard.

Hankook thread pattern is very nice!

You should've gotten those instead of that ATR Sport 2!

Can consider for my 205!

Owning expensive cars then should be able to afford much better tires than just Achilles!

Hahah....as long it served its purpose la bro! I am looking for 'value for money' type of tyre!

How much did you pay for those Achilles?

Rm270 for,the 225 and Rm360 for the 245. Bal and alignment all in! 07 stock!

Bro that is actually not as cheap as you think! Relatively that's only like a bit cheaper than the V12 Evo2 but the V12 Evo2 performance is much more proven. So IMHO that's not really value for money either. For that price you can actually also get Dunlop DZ102 which is probably similar performance too but at least from much more reputable brand and surely more reliable.

Lol! Testing la! You were right, should have taken the hankook!

Guys,

Currently, I'm using Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 tire, size 215/45/R17. This tyre actually consider good for me in dry and wet. Thread already reached the indicator,but still can drive. Noise level acceptable even now reached the indicator.

What is the best change?

1). PS3 - not sure still have or not since PS4 launched.
2). Hankook V12 Evo2
3). GY F1D5
4). Yoko Fleva

If got budget then just go for PS4.
If want best value for money, get the V12 Evo2.

Thanks bro 6UE5T.

PS4 sure out of budget for this size, rm480 in Penang.
V12Evo2, I think around rm320 without GST6%.

Prices quoted few months ago.

Yeah should be around that. If in Klang Valley, the V12E2 for your size can get slightly cheaper, for around rm290 before GST, very good value for money for a good UHP tire.

go for ps4 la..currently promo price rm 380 only before gst.postage from central region should be around rm 15 per piece.

Postage not an issue. Problem is which to find a tire shop willingly install them when arrived. I don't think any tire shops would like to help since I'm not buying anything from them.

They would but of course need to pay again!

Yes, bro 6UE5T.
Furthermore, they might charge more for the installation labour cost(no market/std.cost) and end of the day, is almost equivalent to the price in Penang.
Lastly, your old tires no trade-in value since I'm not buying any tire from the shop. Not worth the troublesome.

Actually, I'm reluctant to use Hankook again as currently, still using the Hankook Ventus Concept2. Wanna try our other brands. But, it seems the V12Evo2 really value for money and most probably, I will choose the Hankook V12Evo2.

I'm also looking at GY F1D5, but price is much higher than V12Evo2.

Goodyear ma, 1st tier brand like Michelin/Bridgestone/Continental/Pirelli, while Hankook is 2nd level brand hence much cheaper.
F1D5 is also pretty good though coz I've used that before till totally finished (3.5yrs), it just have much more chipping (like PS3) but it still works fine.
