Any comments on Yoko C Drive 2.... looking to change may be today or tomorrow

C-Drive 2 are comfort performance tyres. Comfort and aquaplaning resistance are good. Dry traction also good. Wet traction average.
For 215/45R17, if into more performance and budget price can look at Hankook V12Evo or Nexen N8000

Ya... looks like for this case they are cheaper than Klang. They have V12 for 205/40/17 but not for 215/45/17.... coz my front is 205/40 and back is 215/45 :)

Why are you running on this setup? Are you on RWD? If not, running in this setup you cannot rotate your tyres.

Nope it was like this when i bought the car so i just follow this setup.
Anyhow I've change my back tires to C-drive 2 as the price for V12 in other shops are over RM400 and thats over my budget and moreover I'm planning to sell my car soon.

Okay, noted.....

wow rm20 cheaper per tyre.. but i check at rawang. most shops sell at 340 and 350 only for 205/40/R17.. so the klang price was the cheapest.. looks like at sunway is much more cheaper...

when must we rotate the tires?

 

[2pac]

But in Tek Ming, we must trade in our old tires, they don't care about the tire condition. Mine was long expired - year 2005 tires.. hehehe

Tek Ming is one of the top Hankook dealer even though now with Silverstone signboard.
Rawang used to be cheap, but lately many have also mentioned prices have gone up.
For Klang, if not mistaken the dealers do not deal much in Hankook, that is why not as cheap. For other brands, so far seems Klang still the cheapest.

For FWD car the front wheel wear faster. If doing 4 tyre change, tyres are rotated between the front and rears for uniform and even wear, so that they can change all 4 tyres at one go.

For 2 tyre change, the front will finish first, that is why recommend to put the new tyres in the rear and old tyres to the front to be worn off.
If you fit new tyres in front, the new ones will still wear out first. You can practically wear out maybe 4 to 5 pair in the front before the rear ones wear out and that will be too long and the rear tyres compound will harden and start to crack and loose traction.
That is why you need to rotate your tyres.

As mentioned that is marketing tactic only. If queried why so cheap, can say minus trade in tyres.....

It is recommend by Michelin, GY and even Tire rack. If front less thread pattern and if loose traction (under steer), slowing down and can be controlled. If rear less pattern and loose traction (Over steer) very hard to control.
Check with your car club/model and ask in that forum what suspension is good. As you mentioned got many brands, therefore I can say, you will get reply saying this is good and that is good and you will further be more confused.
As far as I know, have done some lowering in earlier days, you cannot have comfort if the ride is lowered. You suspension travel is already less, and to prevent bottom out, the lowered springs used are harden or added spring rate, so sure the ride will be bumpier. Maybe getting those that can tune the spring and oil damping rate ones, then you have more option....
