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.

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.

Alright. I've changed my tyres to Yokohama ES32 Extra Load and made in Japan. 185/60/R15. 2014 City.

Previously, was using Toyo NE03, same size. Been using this set for around 4 years ++

After changing all 4 donuts and with two days of usage, which is basically right after the change, at low speeds zig zagging around tamans and town, they're pretty quiet with good response. Over the bumps, it's quite firm. Not as bounciful as the previous set of NE03. I believe it is due to being an Extra Load model. Boring drive right? Yes, it is. Any tyres can achieve the same.

Alright then. Let's talk about the highway drive:
1) Dry
Tried going at 150kmh and I couldn't believe that the car was pretty stable at that speed and damn, it really gives you the confidence in going faster. I tried it our for just a short while tho. Additionally, when at those PLUS highway interchanges, cornering was not so great when going at 90kmh. At 70kmh, it was stable and a normal drive. But of course, let not forget that these tyres are Eco tyres.

If compared to NE03, by 130kmh, the car would be floating up and down. You could really feel it. Next, fear sets in and you're back at 110-120kmh.

OK, this is what everyone has been waiting for...

2) Wet (Raining)
Drove at 120kmh. Wasn't raining heavily, but heavier than a drizzle and you know that the road was already soaking wet. Car was stable which really gives you the confidence. However... I just didn't have the guts to go any higher. Braking in the wet was good too.

As compared to NE03, I had the guts to go at 120kmh when the tyres were new. But just didn't have the guts anymore after it being 4 years old.

Alright, in summary, I believe this set of tyres are less floaty than my previous set of NE03 is due to it being an Extra Load model, which I believe the sidewalls are thicker to handle heavier loads. And I think this led it into being more stable and less floaty.

Noise wise... Good, think it's slightly noisier than the NE03 but difference ain't noticeable.

Going over undulations... Less comfy when going over undulations because of the thicker sidewalls (I guess). Pssst... But I believe this also contributed to it being more stable at highway speeds. Higher also no problem.

I'll try updating after 1 year down the road.
