What size and what are your priorities? Performance/comfort/quiet/durability?

 

[lilwhite]

performance will be the priorities

you did not mention the tyre size??

Front: 205/45/17
Rear: 215/45/17

Are you running a RWD ride? If not, why smaller front tyres? Using different size tyres you would not be able to rotate your tyres and for FWD, the rears will last a long time, whereas the fronts will finish off very fast.
For tyres, GY Asy. can be consider in the RM400 range. Lower priced will be Nexen N8000, maybe Hankook V12Evo, Federal 595Evo or Maxxis i-pro, but performance for the later 4, may be slightly lower.
PS3, Toyo T-1R, Yoko S-Drive, Falken FK452 all will be expensive.
Maybe can look out for GY F1 Asy. 2, or GY F1-D5 that is just out.....

Dang~!! these are the tyres i came up with after some time of research and availability from shops in Klang.
1) PS3: 460/Pcs
2) Yoko Sdrive: 335/Pcs
3) Bridge My01: 315
any Recomendation or other option.....it seems like ive runned into a dead end here....the good tyres are over my budget and the cheapers one, review are not so satisfying.....it seems like a dead end for me... sigh...

Tried Hankook? Use to run on Hankook Ventus HR2.. Better then my Yoko's A-Drive R1... Price when i got them,but was way back in 2006..rm240.. 205/40 17.....Despite being a Korean brand, it did surprise me when it comes to cornering...

 

[lilwhite]

A-Drive R1 im using it right now....its crappy....and nearly cost my life in rainy days in an entrance of a roundabout....compare to Bridgestone poten G3....G3 perform much much much better~!!! but it discontinued....now i dunno what to get for my ride to get back the old performance of my car when it was in G3...
