Cannot be that soft. Even if soft with 45psi it should be hard...... smile_wink.gif


less roll compared to my old falken.

may be it is just the look, ?a slight bulge is normal for front.

later i may reduce the pressure to 42psi since you all say is too high...

yeah just wonder any one out there using such high pressure above 40psi??

Ya, too many choices, haha.

Yoko C drive 2
Conti CC5
Michelin XM2
Hankook V12 (should be noisy right?)

Out of these, C drive 2 is better?

V12 is UHP, C Drive 2 is Mid (Comfort performance) CC5 and XM2 are entry level.
PS3 is good but expensive, so something in between is C-Drive 2

Not that I heard off. That day some one mentioned V2 Concept, but found to be more of a winter tyre......

I'm also thinking of V12, but is it noisy?
Previous experience with Yoko was really quiet.

Bro VR,
want to upgrade from 16" to 17", wanna get your recommendation, for a performance tyre 225/45/r17, what tyres is good, for dry as well wet use especially. my son like Hankook (dont know which model)? But I was thinking of toyo TR1
if Hankook noisy alittle is OK, as car is very well insulated inside - outside noise no problem and very quiet, just want good road bite & performance.

Thansk bro'
