Before this,im using Toyo Proxex T1R 205/45/r17 Japan Made...Traction is AA...nice grip even when tread is around 20%...wet handling is good...the sidewall is quite hard...good for hard cornering...i give 8/10 for this tire...but tread wear is quite fast...

now im using Bridgestone Potenza RE001 205/40/r17 extra load Japan Made...Traction is A...nice grip...on par with Toyo Proxes...wet is good...hard sidewall...8/10 for this tire...just use for 3 month...tread still 90% front and 95% rear...tread wear is ok...

The tread pattern looks nice  wub.gif Similar to performance tire, RE001 build up the heat quickly even after few kilometres of driving..

I just googling and found out RE050 treadwear is rated @ 140 only sweat.gif  ohmy.gif ?? shocking.gif

do tires help reduce the noise? if yes, could some1 recommend a 14inch tire for my kancil. currently, i m using yokohama tires, forgot the model. it really can last long but too much noise from it.

Honest piece of advice. No. It will not make the car more powerful.

Instead of spending shit loads of money on plugs, just buy cheaper ones and replace them regularly.

I'm using Lenso Samurai 15" with Michelin PS3 195/50/15 on my saga BLM. My pals are saying that my profile is to low, may damage the rims even without hitting potholes. Any comments ?
