Sure boh....good to feel "young"

FYI, Leon said my rims will be arriving next week. Will buzz you when i go over to pasang

Duraplus are normal tyres, said to be good for durabilty. If not mistaken, temperature rated B only....

hi, need some advise..

i need recommendation on tyres for 205/55/16, mostly for comfort and quite.. budget as low as possible..

You can get cheap Indon or Chinese Tyres but they do not perform well.
New Yokohama C-Drive 2 should be good for you. Price around RM330 per pc.

What about cc5? Is it Okie? I'm actually looking for michelin, but pricey..

Yup, for quiet and comfort they are okay, but I think Conti also not cheap.....

cc5 same price at michelin oledi

Yup, some are or as close......

Sigh, y so pricey...

Branding?

I only encounter the terms of tyre during I play GT on PS..lol.

now owning a myvi and using Continental Comfort Contact....

thread almost gone for rear tyres.( exchange front to rear pair already)

slick semi slick etc I dun understand... can some1 explain in short?

semi slick/slick are only for racing lol

normal road/driving you can just ignore those tires

slick means they are soft?

and wear faster right?

Slick means no pattern. The more rubber contact the better dry grip. For dry use only.....


Semi Slick is almost bald look, just a few pattern line. These are for dry to damp road

I have been using Continental Premium Contact 2 for about 6,000+ kms now. they are sized 195/50/16 on a FWD car.

Pros:
Good water dispersion (was driving through heavy standing water and though it slowed the car considerably, the car stayed pretty much true to its tracks and no aquaplanning)
Good wet grip (no sudden loss of grip on the lighter rear end or front end of the car during sudden lane changes in heavy rain typical of the east coast)
Good dry grip (so far no problems for me - hard to gauge though since its just daily driving and not full on red neck driving)
Comfortable (sidewalls are not too stiff providing good bump absorbtion whilst maintaining good enough stiffness for spirited driving)
Design (nice 4 stripes with premium look which is important for me haha)

Cons
Noise (not silent enough to warrant its "Premium" in the name)
Wear (not as hardy as i want it to be - TW is at 280 only)

Overall
I would use these tires again when time comes for it to be replaced. However, do you guys have any suggested alternatives? preferably cheaper!!

At the moment not many tyre choices for this size of 195/50/R16
