Hello guys...
right now i'm researching new tyres for my wife's Swift ZC21S
orginal tyre size 185/60R15
changed to 16" rims and use Toyo DRB 195/50R16 (-0.27% diameter)
now i'm looking for 205/50R16 (+1.39% diameter)
budget is around RM190 - RM230 per donut
prefer to get asymmetrical tyre rather directional but can always change my mind
will be getting the tyre in 1-2 months time
looking for comfort/sport tyres as my wife drives quite fast on the hiway
as Msia rains a lot, i'd prefer to get good aquaplaning resistance, good traction and braking in wet
budget limits me to Touring or low level UHP tyres, so no GY F1, Mich PS, Conti SC and the likes...
i've narrowed down the asymmetrical tyre available in Msia:
1) Falken Ziex ZE914
2) Kumho Ecsta HS51
3) Nexen N8000 (loved this but already old and hard to find now)
my research also includes directional tyre models which are:
1) Kumho Ecsta PS31
2) Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 (H457)
i would like to include these in my research but i think its not available in Msia:
1) Hankook Ventus Prime 3 (K125) (excellent reviews from EU mags)
2) Dunlop Sport BluResponse (excellent reviews from EU mags)
anyway, i guess i will stick to the asymmetrical tyre for easier comparison.
so anyone has been using Falken ZE914 and Kumho HS51 care to give some thoughts and opinions?
thanks guyss...
