Hmm sounds promising and it's good that available in smaller sizes too, just unfortunately don't have size 245/45/17 for my rear.

You've tried it already??

S.Drive is too old already leh, better try other tires, plenty of better ones already.

Good info, thx!

Wah that's relatively cheap for 18' size leh, like 17' prices already! Which Ban Hooi?

Oh really so cheap ha? I thought the price is about similar to RE003, F1-D5, or PS3. So this price range is more like Hankook ya?

MC5 is overrated and over priced just because it's Continental.

Ic. Coz last year when I bought my CSC5 size 225/50/17, it was already rm500 and that's already the cheapest (others were quoting like around rm600 or even more). PS3 I got was rm525 while the RE003 was out of stock so people quoted rather high of about rm550 back then. So when dinox said can get the Fleva in big size 235/55/18 for only rm530, seems damn cheap leh. Next tire change I will certainly consider this Fleva along with the V12 E2, RE003 and PS4 (if I feel generous!).

Hmm never shopped at Lazada before. CSC5 is usually pretty expensive coz that's Continental's top of the line tire and all made in Europe.

Either of them should be pretty good, just try the one you can get cheaper.

Then get 225/50/17.

Or maybe dry grip to be more exact.
Yes RE003 should get worn out faster.

PS3 is well known for its aquaplaning resistance which is going thru puddles. Don't mistaken that for wet grip though, coz they're slightly different qualities even though related. Wet grip is more like grip on wet surface but not having puddles. So PS3 is often the best at aquaplaning resistance but not necessarily have the best wet grip, there are other tires that can have better wet grip but yet cannot have as good aquaplaning resistance as PS3.

CSC5 is indeed better in most aspects than PS3, it's a damn excellent tire! I'm using it now and I think it's the best tire I've used so far. PS3 I think is a good all rounder tryuing to offer balacne between comfort and performance but not the ultimate best at most aspects except maybe aquaplaning resistance.
So the Fleva feels more sporty is it? How is it compared to CSC5?

Yeah the CSC5 indeed inspires confidence. To me it's also still pretty comfortable but my sidewall is still around 11cm thick. Anyway my next tire change I want to try different ones, maybe the Fleva or V12E2, or PS4 if I got the budget, but that will still be another 1-2 yrs from now. So in the mean time should have more and more reviews on these tires, maybe will come upgraded versions again too.

Hmm still normal for d-segment sedan coz I'm using 17' only.
Front 225/50/17, so sidewall height is 22.5cm x 50% = 11.2cm (This is exactly the same size as the current Honda Accord std tire also).
Rear 245/45/17, so sidewall height is 24.5cm x 45% = 11cm

225/45/17 using 17x7.5 or 17x8 rims.

Total diameter is a too small by 7-8mm compared to your original std size, while if you use 225/45 then the difference is only larger by 1-2mm so it's the closest to your original diameter size. 225/45 is slightly taller sidewall hence the ride quality will be slightly more comfortable than 215/45. It may affect performance and fuel consumption very slightly but would not be noticeable and will also provide more grip coz it's wider. So my recommendation is still to use 225/45/17.

You can play around using this if you want to see the detail calculations:

Well that one I won't be able to tell. You need to compare with your existing rims/tires with the 225/45 size and use the calculator above to estimate the clearances. Best if you test fit first before you decide to buy the tires so you can see exactly how the clearances are.

How much are both tires in below sizes?
225/50/17
245/45/17

Depends on which 17' also, if wider like mine (245/45/17), it'll surely cost a lot more than rm400+ for PS4. Even 225/50/17 I don't think can get below rm500, especially with the bloody exchange rate we suffer in the last 2 years!

Haha yeah probably not worth almost double, but if you want the ultimate street tire of today then the PS4 is probably it.

Not bad & still reasonable prices, similar to my current CSC5 price range so surely would still be on my consideration list for next tire change.
Thanks for the info.
