New sets of tyre and sports rims

I wanna settle for a 17" rim but settle for an 18" instead...why coz the offer was good!

However instead of going for the free tyres, I upgrade the package with Yokohama S-drive tyre...add an additional RM500.00.

It looks slightly broader than my old tires. The S-drive is 225/40/18, year 2011 and its made in Japan! No need to add any additional spacer ..it fits in very well.

I trade off all my old tyres and rims ( thats includes the heavy sports rim spare tyre) for RM1,000. On top of that they gave me free alignment,balancing and nitrogen gas to all tyres. New security lugs was additional cost.

Overall performance of the Yokohama S-drive was really superb. Either wet or dry surface, this tyre really stick on the road. However the tyre noise is slightly higher than the old tyre. More details here:

However the standard absorbers and spring really sucks...wait for my next updates!
