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...
Yoko S-Drive for me is not bad. Good in wet and dry. Tyre construction square so look wider, but being directional the tyre wear can be uneven and later becomes noisy. I did not use them long as I changed to the GY F1 Asy. later on.
Forget about the BS MY-01. These are touring tyre. Traction rating B only....

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...
If want to try Hankook, their latest offering are the V12Evo and S1Evo. V12Evo have been used by many. It is cheaper but performance about 80% to 90% of PS3 as mentioned by some.

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...
A-Drive R1 are economy tyres. Durable but traction so so only. Tyres made in Philippines.
BS GIII are replaced by RE-001, now is RE-002 already....

Yeah,and i thought Yoko's are good..I mean,i dont expect them to be as grippy as Advan Neova or those kinds of tyres,but something better then what it is offering now..Gotta attack corners gently and smooth..Sharp and sudden change of direction usually upsets the grip of these tyres..Might wana source for Falken's 912.. seems alright on my sister's 15in wira..haha
Falken ZE-912 used to be traction AA, but some of the sizes are now traction rated A only, so they are losing ground as some prefer not to use them anymore.

howbout the F1 Asy??? and comments bout it???
GY F1 Asy. are good, but for your size is Made in China. I briefly used them for a couple of months and I love them. No need to scrub in, but GY F1 Asy. 2 is to be launch end of this month. Might as well check for this. Seems to be an improvement in wet traction or something.
Will be attending their track day launch this Sunday....:proud:

Hrmm,friends EG4 is using them, Eagle F1..16in.. Did not get to drive it much and have the feel attacking corners, but few corners, not bad i guess..Did not drive it long and hard enough to have a real feel of those tires.. And stated on his tires, Made in Germany...
F1 Asy. comes in 17" and above. If 16" then it is the F1 GS-D3 directional pattern tyres, not the asymmetric. However this tyre also will be replaced by the new GY F1-D5, also to be launched this month.....

GY F1 Asy was priced around RM390 last time. Asy. 2 may be more expensive. Maybe got promo offer....
