For me it will have noticeable difference, that's why I'd never use anything thinner than 205/50 or 225/45. Last time I used 195/50 which is about the same as 215/45 for about 5-6yrs and would never want to use them again.Ha? 205/50 and 215/45 not much difference in comfort?
Your original size was 195/65R15, right?Ha? 205/50 and 215/45 not much difference in comfort?
Oh, hmmm... well my tyres should be due for a change in about 6-7 more months. Will keep an eye open for 215/50 then. Vr2turbo said 205/50 is similar in profile to 215/45 and that's what I have now. It's quite unbearably bumpy for a supposedly comfortable sedan like mine.For me it will have noticeable difference, that's why I'd never use anything thinner than 205/50 or 225/45.

Bro., read my post above, 215/45 and 205/50 differ leh! just that maybe 215/45 and 205/50 may not have much comfort difference, but then comfort tyre choice may help.........hahhahhahaOh, hmmm... well my tyres should be due for a change in about 6-7 more months.

What have you used that you find good in wet and dry weather other than PS3?
I'm using F1-D5 now, pretty good but a bit noisy.Oh, hmmm... well my tyres should be due for a change in about 6-7 more months. Will keep an eye open for 215/50 then.

205/50R17 got Yoko C-Drive2, 215/50R17 got your favorite quiet tyre V551 dB"Other than PS3" la vr2
Only can use ATR Sports. Sports 2 I think 45 series and below only.ATR SPORTS 2 or RE003 xD
F1-D5 no 205/50R17 also.....I'm using F1-D5 now, pretty good but a bit noisy.
Maybe can try Dunlop Sportmaxx RT. It's one of the lightest tires for UHP/Max performance class (only 8+kg for typical 17' compared to about 10-11kg for most other tires). I'm thinking to try it for my next tire change but not sure how much and don't know yet where to buy.205/50R17 got Yoko C-Drive2, 215/50R17 got your favorite quiet tyre V551 dB

This Dunlop is almost 2kg lighter than the GY, that's a lot of weight saving just for tires alone!I remember weighing my GY Asy2 also last time and it was slightly lighter then my previous tyre.
Yah! not sure who deals with Dunlop nowadays since they sold out to Sime Darby and now further sold out to Continental
The thing is in Asia, Dunlop owned by Sumitomo Japan, only in Malaysia it was sold to then Sime, but I think they suppose to use Dunlop brand name for a number of years only, that is why they were developing Sime tyres at that time. In Europe and North america, Dunlop is owned by Goodyear...confusing, right?This Dunlop is almost 2kg lighter than the GY, that's a lot of weight saving just for tires alone!
I think can try asking around Continental shops then, hopefully they don't only offer local Dunlops. I got a Mark X guy who knows a Dunlop importer. Later I'll try contact him when I need to buy.
Hmm in that case must check with private tire suppliers who cater to whatever brands.The thing is in Asia, Dunlop owned by Sumitomo Japan, only in Malaysia it was sold to then Sime, but I think they suppose to use Dunlop brand name for a number of years only, that is why they were developing Sime tyres at that time.

Since most of Dunlop tyres here are either local or from Japan then those should be made by sumitomo Japan.
Local Dunlop now made by Continental, and they have just come out with their new Asy D05 and entry level J5
Eh let me know when you go to him. Maybe I can help reduce the price by buying also? Group buy!This Dunlop is almost 2kg lighter than the GY, that's a lot of weight saving just for tires alone!
