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... smile.gif

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.

Wah! from Dunlop Sport Maxx to A-Drive R1, a few steps down woh! sad.gif

yaloh no choice that time was in Kelantan, all the tires shop don't keep stock for RE-002, PS3 etc all need to order and my front tires pecah kena the kurb and my car doesn't come with spare tire only with the sealant kit so no choice end up with A-Drive R1

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?

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

The F1 D5 is the replacement for the GS-D3 model. Aquaplaning loses to out to the GS-D3, but overall wet handling and traction is said to be better.... brows.gif

Try changing tyre size from your original 175/65R14 to 185/60R14. Try looking for Yoko C-Drive 2 in this size..

Have not seen in this size. Even if have will be uncommon and will be very expensive. Moreover in case of any problems and you need to find replacement you will be stuck. Better to get tyres of a common size..... tongue.gif

Every brand of tyres have their own range from entry to Max or even extreme performance, so you have to choose the tyres not the brand.
Entry level should give you the durability not Max or Extreme performance, as these gives you the wet & dry or extreme performance so durability is lower....

Does anyone use Hankook S1 Evo here, how does it perform between S1 Evo and PS3?

S1Evo less users because sizes starts at 17" if not mistaken.
PS3 are newer and current, so this should be better.....
