hmm...
what about comparing NCT 5, C drive and Conti Comfort Contact 1

how?

i think all about the same right?
I've used NCT 5, and now on Conti CC1...both not to my liking on my vios smile_disapprove.gif

Conti CC1 are entry level tyres. NCT 5 are actually their mid level tyres. The lower range are the Ducaro which is their touring tyres and NCT3 also.
C-Drive used to be Yoko Mid level tyres, but not sure of the Philippines made ones.... smile_question.gif

PP2 and S-Drives are of different class. Both are next to their top range tyres in their respective brands.
Not sure of PP2 sizes as I don't follow much on Michelin's, but for S-Drive they come with 55 series aspect ratio and below, therefore if you are looking for 60 series, then there are no such sizes.....

Bro.
Even if they don't mention the size, sometimes we have to be careful with the recommendations.
And also we have to take their priorities into consideration.
Some just want comfort and lasting and if we ask them to get UHP tyres for grip they will &%!@#.... smile_big.gif smile_big.gif

well recommended pressure... sure your vios got said mah...
for my PP2 i always pump 32~34 PSI lo... depends...
but recommended pressure is around 31~32 PSI... so i put a bit more...
recommended by Michelin that if you drive your car more than 2km already you have to put 2~4 PSI higher...

Bro. cedax,

Also depends on your tyres. If soft sidewall tyres like ZE-912, then you need to add another 2 to 3 psi over your original recommended pressure.
Anyway, you can trail and error the air pressure. You can either go up 2psi per time until you find it uncomfortable, then start reducing until you find the setting that suits you the best. No need to follow factory specs.
