with that kind of budget, I'd choose a combo of rear RE001/T1R/whatever tires in the range of RM250+, and Toyo R1Rs for fronts.

You can run a maximum of 205/50R15, but hard to find those tires. RE001 have those sizes, and they're only made in japan, can get, but no shops stock it AFAIK, and the only way is to order beforehand. RE001 in 195/55R15 and 195/50R15 are made in Thailand. Toyo, Recently ordered (4-5months ago, I think) and can get 205/50R15.

205/50R15 and 195/55R15 almost the same size in height, the only difference is the extra 10mm of width.. looks wide when installed on a civic 5th or 5th gen.

Sedan cars, don't use grippy tires at the back... you want a bit of give when doing sharp corners. If using both grippy tires, need to run harder suspension to get the benefit of faster cornering speed. If not, welcome to world of massive understeer.

And if you're that particular about grip, get an LSD. That makes a difference even on standard tires, esp. during wet weather.. nothing is more annoying than having one tyre slipping when going over puddles.

For 205/50/15 tyre, what is their normally price? Planning to change the front tyre (T1R now) with that size. Now running on 195/55/15. Another question, what about the BFGoodrich? Is it okay in terms of performance??

why last time i use nct5 go in also no blow ah?

years back i use techno go in also tarak blow... use silverstone ftz also no blow, and damn good too...

this is the thing, u guys only knows how to go in with great and expensive tyres...so what about those on budget?

last time B3 everyone uses cheap tyres, cos its cheap to buy and u wont feel the pinch of buying a 350 bucks above tyre which is the same, end of 5 laps and all ur rubber will come off or melt... so lets make a comparison, 350 bucks tyres or 100 bucks tyres?

end of the day it is still driver skill on how to control ur car...

not saying xpensive tyres are not good, they are good..who dowan to own them right?

yeah NCT5 i use b4 in sic, after 4 laps it will go awry with minimal grip...but in front of me there's a putra using ad07...he spin in front of me, so there goes...

just telling u about my experience using CHEAPO tyres :biggrin: but nowdays never use cheap tyre edi laa LOL...
