QUOTE(then17000 @ Nov 12 2011, 09:26 PM) hi everyone, i am planning to changed 2 tyre of my kelisa (165/55/14)... i have ask some of the shop... they recommend me to take either the yokohama A-drive or GOODYEAR duraplus... so i am confuse now on which should i choose.... i heard some of them said falken not bad also... so wat is you guys opinion...  You cannot get performance tyres in this size already. Closest is BS RE-030. Yoko AD-07 and Michelin PP2 discon already. As for the 2 mentioned A-Drive and Duraplus, they are about the same.......

to me the Yokohama A-Drive R1 is a useless tires I've been using it just a month due to no other option my previous Dunlop SP Sport maxx burst when i was in kelantan and A0R1 is my only choice that time and i couldn't stand it. The tires is lacking grip even when I made a hard corner at the speed of 70-80km/h it's almost give away, and I don't feel any confident at all driving with this piece of rubbish rubber. Just replaced it with Bridgestone RE-002 now that's what I call a decent piece of tires. 450 a piece 205/50/16 at Bridgestone Sunway.

How is the RE-002 against the Sport Maxx? Dry I think RE-002 is better, wet maybe Sport Maxx?
Oh! BTW your Sport Maxx is the directional one or the TT asymmetric one?

BTW your Sport Maxx is the directional one or the TT asymmetric one? RE-002 is better on both dry and wet. ( suprisingly very good in wet) A lot of improve compare it with the old RE-001. I'll rated it RE-002-> Toyo T1R -> SP Sport Maxx -> RE-001. Mine is the directional SP Sport Maxx. This post has been edited by torreto: Nov 16 2011, 11:15 PM

I tried the T1-R before but not matching to my car, maybe heavy as I find the sidewall too soft. For wet still love the GY GS-D3 for aquaplaning resistance, and lately the Asy 2 also is very good is wet handling.

The F1 D5 seems to be holding itself well in wet conditions too
