follow original size better

GSD3 la... but not sure about the price 2nd is V12 already as this 2 very cheap already...
but they are reasonable with the grip that they able to provide...

well if you wan comfort... try 195/55 R15, 185/60 R15 is weird size for new CT and Vios...
NCT5 u should throw away around 50% already since it's wet grip sucks...
try Falken 912 with 195/55 R15 comfort performance... value for $$$ if not mistaken around RM190 nia...
if you wan High Performance tire let us know again... but do mention Comfort, Handling and Noise...
rank them urselves so that we know which is ur priority...

Oh... Actually I prefer bridgestone or Michellin... For me I feel wan not so noise when driving... Michellin PP2 ok? or bridgestobe RE030?? I wish to follow back my original size..

i'm using a brand new tire now (less than 500km)

Dunlop Formula D01 (205/50/16)

Dry performance = hard braking and hard cornering not that good, got sound already compare to my previous 40% thread left Kumho Ecsta Supra.

Wet performance = not yet done, but expect worse since dry already 'out'.

Verdict = Good for average joe family car, high threadwear 420 and cheap (slightly less RM 250)

Personal experience = More or less about the same performance with the Hankook Ventus HRII

Added on February 19, 2010, 8:30 amI'm using the GSD3 F1 Germany made too last time. totally agreed the wet performance is great but super noisy later on. any other tire that has more or less the same charateristics like the F1 but quiet?

D01 is good for normal driving as it's traction is rated A... better than B rated BS MY-01...
GSD3 F1 is noisy... still thinking whether to try or not after this Hankook V12



@cchin8888 if you wanna stick back to 185/55 R15 try Michelin PP2...

Hi guys,wat do u think 175/70R13 Michelin XM1 vs Yoko A.Drive vs Goodyear GA?

Dry Grip =
Wet Grip =
Braking =
Cornering =

Im looking for best grip tyre for 175/70R13...
Im really looking forward for the review from u guy..

XM1 for comfort Traction rated A, Yokohama A Drive a lil better in handling... Goodyear lower end tires throw away.... i only trust their F1 series

yup agreed. D01 for normal driving only. imagine, very easy to get 'schreeet' tire sound on shiny cement underground parking lot when doing slow cornering, this not the case for Ecsta Supra AA rated

haha... try PP2, V12, S Drive or T1R... they will give you the sound also but never loose traction... thats y i always look at the traction rating and the hydroplaning resistance also... PP2 still my best choice cos it is more quiet after 50% use compare to others directional tires, it's hydroplaning resistance is the best in the class also... better than S Drive, T1R, V12...
but now willing to try out Toyo DRB if it is nice and comfort... haha

hi, can Vtec City original RIM fix it 195/50/R15 tire?

yes,y not? ?

Hi, I'm thinking to upgrade my tyre..
currently using GY NCT5 195/60R15.

is it adviseable to upgrade to 205/50R16?
the grip is improve abit(actually i'm satisfy with my NCT5 grip). but the tyre price is very very huge difference.
Michelin Premacy LC
15 = RM 280
16 = RM 410

Another thing.... if compare Premacy LC vs XM1, which one is better? i prefer more quiet tyre but the shop guys told me XM1 have better grip than PLC? As he said during raining, the PLC grip is very bad and worst than NCT5

is tat guy 100% sure or not? ? primacy lc is a higher range replace mxv8 n yet he dare to say lower range xm1 is much better than higher renge tire then there's no good tires edi~

what hv u experience same with me which i using hankook V8RS, even in heavy rain still can speed up until 160km/h n it start to hydroplaning... really nice tyre, but currently hard to find dunno why...

V8rs is good??? haha out dated already lo... now V12 Evo... but it might not be accurate as individual have different cars and setting...
but my experience is, V12 evo is not as good in hydroplaning as PP2... not yet try GSD3 might try at next change....
but am not sure about the quietness that bro sleepwalker said... GSD3 is Quiet... as directional tires is not that quiet...
my Vios Tire Change history... GY NCT5 (Stock) > Michelin PP2 > Michelin PP2 > Michelin PP2 > Hankook V12... soon duno...
from 2nd set of PP2 i share with my SEG with similar 195/55 R15... so after Vios season the tire until like 50% or when my SEG need to change, i swap the tire over to SEG and buy new tires for Vios...

I would like to try 195/50/15 Michelin Primacy LC on my Vtect City

i think 195/55 R15 better comfort... but if you want better handling then 50 series will be better, both of the tires can fit ur ride...

ya... but michelin Primacy LC quite expensive
