A tire shop in Seremban quoted RM185 for 195/55R15 Yokohama ES32 .
Is this good price?
I am deciding between ES32 and Goodyear ATM2.
After visiting a number of tire shops, finally got 1 sell ES32 (mentioned above). As for ATM2, still not found yet. Most of the shops sell entry-level tire like NCT5 and GT3. Even Duraplus also don't have , he say NEED TO ORDER ! Not to mention F1D5 and F1A3.

Changed 4pcs 195/55R15 today.
Rm180x4 all inclusive (balancing + tube valve + alignment)




Review:

Compared with old c-drive2 (still have 25% tread depth i think),

1) ES32 is quieter (perhaps because of new tire? IDK )
2) C-drive2 cornering better despite not much tread left

Haven't got chance to test on wet roads or puddles. Will update later.

1) tight budget. But don't want cap ayam.
2) distance. I know KL/shah alam can get cheap, but not worth the time and toll money.

If C-drive2 is still available I will still choose it.

I think so.
Manufacture date 2818.

Yes, made in Japan.

I was not aware that there are two manufacture plants for es32.
What is your size by the way?

I don't know whether Japan-made tires have better quality or not. My car ain't sport car though , haha.
But one fact undeniable is C-drive2 handling better than ES32. (I know they are different class haha)

That is driving skill issue haha.

Hi,

My car is Nissan AD Resort (wagon) and it has stiff suspension. Basically I can't feel any difference in shock absorbing ability.
Also can't tell any difference in noise. Maybe it has become noisier but I just don't bother about it because the wind noise is louder LOL.
