well bro... after the wear-in also, it depends on the tire's cornering grip in wet, how many G's they can stand b4 it breaks the traction... so each and every tires got it's own pros and cons... M5 might be good in handling but noisy like hell after sometime... but C Drive will give you the comfort and quiet drive opposite of M5...
what is ur size, next time do survey more in forum b4 u buy any tires... for me i'll stick to my Hankook and Michelin for now... hankook tires is good value (using V12 Evo on older ride) and Michelin gives you the quality and confidence on it's product...
do remember you have a few rank in tires... from Entree, Premium Comfort, High Performance, Ultra High Performance, Max Performance and Extreme Performance... basically entree and premium comfort is more towards 60 series and above or lower profile tires with comfort... but all performance categories mostly starts at 55 series and below...
then you have Symmetric, Asymmetric and also Directional tires... Asymmetric and Symmetric is quiet and grippy during dry, but Wet condition is Directional type which gives advantage on aquaplaning/water dispersion but it is noisy on dry...
so depends what size you are using, and what you needs...

Thanks for the info bro... im using 50 series btw... couldnt get much review since mom n gf pestering to change it asap... i read alot of ur post u seems to like Hankook V12 alot... would give it a try next time...

well V12 is cheap and nice lo, larger size it save you more than RM50 per pc of tire leh... for 15" it save you RM50/pc or 16" & 17" it save you around RM80/pc leh...
even though it is not as good as PS3 or F1 Asy or GSD3.... but it give you 90% of those, which is enough for us normal user anyway....
it is directional tires but it did not roar like others, it's compound is lasting also not wear as fast as PP2... the additional is comfortness, it gives you a lil comfort but loose out in handling a lil but still acceptable for me if you don do high speed maneuver always (sudden change lane)...
at least my family members is happy with it, but after you try out PS3 and F1 Asy (too bad this tire only 215/45 R17 & above) u never look back...

The offset changes with the size since the offset is a fixed measurement and not a percentage of the rim size. If you can't find this info, just go to any tyre shop, take out the rim and measure. Your offset is just the number of milimeters the hub is 'offset' from the centerline of the rim.

my s-drive already 2 years old+, only did 10k+ km on it.

overall the grip is more than enough for me, rain or shine. but ya the noise is sort of unbearable esp when u drive on concrete road (ie. smart tunnel / NSE, some stretch in Johor state)

quite ok for that price... M5 sucks la... if you call that a decent one that Kumho better or try Hankook V12 more better or even PS3 or RE001 much better... if you don mind the tire noise try Goodyear F1 GSD3...

you couldn't do much as S Drive is known of it's noise... try RE001, PS3 for better sound surpression...

well it is cheap and perform like a UHP tires... not sure after 50% wear on the tires though.... but so far feedbacks has been good for this Nexen model, pls do not get their other models as wet grip is not as good as expectation... maybe our expectation too high tongue.gif
