Above, I already mention comfort performance, more towards comfort.
If you want to increase the air pressure for performance, then it defeats the purpose of comfort.... smile_big.gif

vr2turbo,
You are correct to a certain extent.
I do not mean to increase the tyre pressure to just improve the performance.
Just enough to not have the wallow feeling.

rahmanwang.. good job and at least u hv tht knowledge man~ . So how much you increase for the air pressure? (is normal to increase air pressure for soft sidwall tyres but if too much then it will turned bumpy oso)

Pricing .. Depends what u're comparing ..I think I will go for 912 instead which is cheaper ..or maybe the V12 since its quite hot up recently. So comment saying is quite comfort for a Uni.

mubull,
In fact I compared the price of falken 912 and yokohama c drive and found out that yokohama is infact cheaper.
So since both brand are new to me I tried yokohama.
I am happy with my purchase after all.This is the third month(2K km) with this tyre and may report further after 10K km.
cheers,
rahmanwang

I have been using the Yokohama CDrive for 2 years now. It is a quiet tyre but I think the wall is soft and like some of the other response from forum users here, I agree that it tends to wobble when taking corners. When I bought this tyre 2 years ago, I was initially looking for the Bridgestone GR80. But it was too expensive and was hard to find at that time.

Bro. azbro,

Could be for different model for Malaysian Market. As far as I know Elise got a few variation.
The AD-07 could be for the supercharge model......

but in US they give the Advan A-048 for supercharge model and AD-07 for the normal variation...

rdgs,
