thank you guys for all the info given...but as my budget is ard 2000-2500 for 4 tyres...there isnt much choices for 225/45/r18 size......

the price quote for the s drive is now 540 per piece, so do the ze912....so guess my choice now is still s-drive..

will change my tyres next mth as 1 mth i travel ard 3k km ....

Yes, the S-Drive sidewall is stiffer than the ZE-912 but they are still comfortable. They are not super hard type.
If ZE-912 is same price as S-Drive, I will take the S-Drives.
S-Drives is in UHP category, Rayon belted, reinforced, with new technology of Micro flexible compound and are Y rated.
Only thing is some complaint about noise after some wear......
How about F1 Asy? Maybe they don't have for this size, as I remember bro. whoppee was asking for this too.....

rdgs,
