[chot]

Tuan2 & Puan2, could someone please give me a lowdown on: tyre size: 205/55/16 - Conti Sport Contact-2- Goodyear Eagle F-1- Pirelli Dragon Thanks.Have a nice weekend.

what low down do you want?

Ideally, the 3 tires you mentioned ranked according to how you placed it.
and budget wise, its quite different. I think the CSC2 would cost around 600. and the other would be lesser. The CSC2 is the best you can buy but this would depend on your budget and driving style.

I like the CSC2! It's got loads of grip even in the wet and feels relatively better in terms of comfort. Dunno about Eagle F1. As for the Dragon, good thing is it's durable and grip's ok but feels very hard and somehow, steering direction not as sharp.

1. CsC2 if money is no object
2. F1 Good grip esp in wet
3. PD Good Value for money.. not the best grip of the three

I am using the CSC2...plenty of grip in the dry and wet! Noise level is lower than the Dunlop Sport Maxx, Hankook K104, Yoko ES series, Eagle F1 and Falken Azenis. Wear rate is pretty good too. Since the CSC3 is out, there should be some good deals for the CSC2.

Thanks guys. Glad to know that at least I got the ranking right.

Now that CSC2 is the one, please direct me to the most reliable shop which supplies either french or german-made CSC2 preferably year 2007/06. Most of the shops I went to were pushing CSC2 year 2005, made in the czech republic summore.

CSC2 wear rate good? Are you sure bro?

Maybe you're not pushing your car.

CSC2 wears out as fast as my eraser in primary school lukisan class...

Love the feeling tho. Kental!

However, for practical purpose, am now on Yokohama AD07. Wears out fast as well, but here's a tip - can flip the tire left and right. So effectively, lasts twice as long.

By the way, sorry if I offend anyone, but in my experience with Dragon, can throw that tire away after 3 months of hard use. Unless like Albundy p), you don't push the car very much, then it's ok la.

The CSCs have been on my car for more than 6 months now (about 19000 kms). Been to the track twice in the process. Been to numerous unofficial spirited drives..bukit tinggi, kuala klawang, gohtong jaya and etc. Still got more than 60% thread left, maybe you are semi-right..I know how to preserve tires hahaha...My 4 pot is waiting for your six pot...come la scared ah!!

The only better tires I have used is the Pilot Sport. But then again, the price is another 30% higher.

I see.

Wear rate for CSC2

19,000 km - 40%

So 47,500 km - 100%


Factor in your lighter 4-potter engine weight... that's about right. I had the same wear rate on the CSC2 too.

Except I do 19,000 km in slightly more than 3 months...

Scared la... scared of another gearbox rebuild bill!

Now use the Goodyear eagle F1 comes with soft tyre side wall feel comfort,good grid on wet surface,low noise.
