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.

using t1r 195 55 15 before.....good grips wet & dry but too damn cepat habis...currently using federal 595evo price rm200 all inclusive in rawang.....not recommended in wet...(thinking of selling it as >80% still there....anyone?heheh)
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??

Hello forumers, i have these questions:
1. why do we use coolant + water for the radiator?
2. can i use only coolant, no water?
3. will my cooling system bacomes better n my engine temperature go down more if i use 100% coolant?
4. is it true if we use 100% coolant the radiator tends to crack at the joints n become weaker and prone to clogging? (heard this from few reputable pomen......)
Appreciate all ur feedbacks.
