  I wanted to change my tires for my car. My tire size is 195/55/15 I am driving a Civic Sir... Got any good suggestions? Currently looking at this Yokohama Aspec DB series, $120 x 4pcs, Is the price resonable, Want to change Michelim but all made in Thailand, some more cannot find the 55 type mostly 60 or 65.. Nowadays 15" tyre like not so popular liao....
  
  Got any tire dealers around can email at [email protected] if u got a great deal for me

  You want comfort, get Bridgestone GR80, performance GIII.
  
  You can try Poh Seng Eunos Ave 4.

  Just got my Aspec DB 195/50/R15 @ $95/pc. Good if you going for low noise, therefore not for fast driving as traction is somehow compromised...

  Guys,
  My new ride came with Bridgestone Potenza.
  Advisable to change my stock tyres? Are they ok? How's grip?
  Wet road / cornering etc?
