I think the margin by which the PP2s are better than the S.drives is less than the price difference between them. Hence the S.drives would be a better VFM option. But Michelins still rule wet grip. | |

It is, 205 section would be pushing it. Something you could do is stick with PPS ( as you said neovas are an overkill and will slow you down) and pick up D2 coilovers on the forum if you are looking at significantly better handling.Theres a limit to what a tire can do ..  | |

OT: But a good set of springs is all the Swift needs. Coilovers are a pain to set up without an expert handy. | |

| Senior - BHPian  | IMO I would rate the tyres in the follwing order: 1. PP2 2. S-Drive 3. GIII Most of you won't be surprised by this rating as I've repeated the same ample times before. But I've to agree with Akshay that the S-Drive's are excellent VFM especially in sizes of 16" & above where the PP2's become almost too expensive to justify. But both the PP2's & S-Drive's offer an excellent compromise between performance & daily usability that extreme tyres like Advan Neova's do not offer. They are simply too aggressive & quick wearing for most people. And please, avoid the GIII's unless you have no other option. Quote:

But then you will end up with such a soft compound tire that its going to slow you down and wear out before you even realise. Hence I spoke of suspension. | |

 They will come but after a time. Jun/July 2009 for other countries. I dont expect them to come to India before nov/dec at the earliest. I spoke to the company guy. He said he will let me know asap. Plus, very frankly, I expect India to be the dumping ground for AD07s from other countries. Since we are a third world country, they wont expect us to want the very latest and best. So, we'll have to wait for them to launch it. Last edited by Nikhilb2008 : 12th February 2009 at 23:10. | |
