I don't need all that sport, but this is the option.

Just bought a set, have not taken the shine off as yet only covered about 100 km.
Very quiet, smooth ride and responsive to quick steering input. Dry grip is excellent, Did not push it in the wet but feels planted.
Purchased at Maxxis Marabella,I bought the 205/55 R16 installed on 16 X 6 rim. Car is Suzuki ZC31s swift sport.
Price kinda high but will buy again.

Thanks. Were the 16's $675?

The ASX is 215/65/16m but they don't have it. So still looking around.
If i must will do a test fit of the 225/60/16 and hopefully the wider tires wont rub.
Really don't want the drop in height of the 205/55/16.

The other size is 205/60/15 oversized for the CS3, but its the size currently on it.

Purchased 1 205/60/15 to replace the tire that was damaged, and wasn't satisfied with the service.
I told him it was going on the rear of the car. He put tire on rim and rolled out to me.
I asked about balancing it. He asked why, if it going on the back of the car..
I said balance it for me please, he started balancing it with the old weights.
I was very satisfied with T's and Balliram's service for Maxxis before, but i will be hard pressed to revisit the Maxxis tyre center.

Got a (from showroom to Mileage Mack) set of tires 215/65/60 for the other vehicle.

Just curious guys, just further down the road is MRamrattan that sells Bridgestone which makes top Japanese tires that feels right at home on Japanese vehicle. What's the unique buying position of these Taiwanese tyres besides price?

Personal experiences shape my preference.
And the address doesnt dictate value to me.
