QUOTE(vr2turbo @ Dec 27 2011, 02:21 PM) 205/40R17 really very little choice and most in performance category. Thanks for your suggestions vr2turbo. Yes, very little choice for my size and I'm actually in KK, Sabah therefore lesser choice here if compared to west msia..I managed to know got 1 shop selling Toyo tyres, they got my size for Toyo T1-R model..what's your take on that T1-R?Conti SCS1, Kumho KU31, Yoko A-Drive R1, Federal 595 Evo, and SS595 have, but since performance and most are directional likely to be more noisy...  |

QUOTE(Quazacolt @ Dec 31 2011, 09:44 PM) i thought comfort and noise would be CC5 (comfort contact 5) bro, for my size 205/40/17, only a handful of good tyres to choose from..great comfort and low noise tyres such as primacy lc and C1S also no use because don't have my size..atm i really wanna try out c drive 2 despite the bad reviews on its treadwear. basically aside from this issue i couldnt find anything else that is bad with it (well, expensive because need to change frequently due to faster treadwear would still be considered treadwear issue) |

QUOTE(vr2turbo @ Jan 1 2012, 08:38 PM) Max contact 5 is new range from Conti. Some who have used mentioned not bad but still very little feedback. thanks for your opinion..I'll try out the MC5, price not bad too around 3xx..CSC5 dun have my size, if CSC3 got my size but the price 7xx Other top range from Conti is actually the CSC5 (Sports Contact 5) S1 Evo is quite hard and bumpy as per some feedback..... ZE-912 is actually should be in 2 rung lower category  |
