QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Oct 4 2011, 09:46 PM) http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2055801could probably ask here too. though i guess TS havent got around to format/furnish up the thread lol OT: btw, been reading a lot of good posts from your exhaust sharing, perhaps some time next year once i got more cash flow, you think you could help me out in creating the most quiet exhaust with no performance loss (or performance gain! lol) think its even possible? heh ok i will further ask there, if toyo trampio vimode is still available i would want to get those tyres, that would be good, tyre shop i went told me toyo tyre got so expensive these days that its size 14" is hard to come by, most dealers cant bother with too expensive small sized tyres, probably due to small potential buyers no problem bro, just drop me a pm and i'll see what i can do. it is in fact possible to have an exhaust system which posses outstanding performance at street level noise

Not sure which shop have but you can call/contact the distributor for more info:-
Evo-Trend Corporation (M) Sdn. Bhd. Lot 32-B1, Jalan 532A, Off 6 1/2 miles, Jalan Kepong Kepong Industrial Area, Kuala Lumpur
However the contact number have a misprint (I think) because it came as Tel: 603-6257 13333, so it is either 1333 or 3333......

Any recommendations for 215/55R17 or 225/55R17? Intended for a Mitsu ASX, so, not for speeding/performance purposes. High priority on Comfort and low noise, decent wet & dry handling

With all the reviews I've read on the Advan DB, I dont think it will be ideal considering the regular wet road we have here at home. Likely candidate will probably be a set of F1 D5

I just changed to Yokohama A-Drive R1 205/45/R16 for my Neo and I'm loving it~ really worth the money spent~ currently is raining season in the east coast and I have to say the grip is good in wet

Likely candidate will probably be a set of F1 D5 Advan dB is still very new. but design should be close to former dB models, therefore is more for quiet, comfort ride.

Yes, you are right. That is why tyre manufacturers comes out with many models and ranges to suit the customer. From entry, mid, comfort, performance to Ultra High performance tyres, customers will have to buy according to their priorities and use. Example like fitting a UHP tyres for a old uncle, use to go to market and ferry kids to school.....overkill...
