I see. I know there is one more called A drive R1 too. How does that fare if lets say compare with C drive 2?
A-Drive R1 is entry level sports pattern tyre. In Yokohama Australia website they are called Affordable Handling upgrade, something like BS MY-01 being called a Sports Touring tyre.
Not to say whether good or bad, but just like entry level in Sports category. What I know they are made for economy so it is cheaper and durable, not so much into top notch performance. For that they have the S-Drive....:driver:
Oh! R1 I think comes in larger sizes too...

I will say C-drive 2 is in between A-Drive R1 and S-Drive, but then again what priorities? If for cornering I will say R1 better, comfort and grip C-Drive 2....

Er, so there is no way to change this? So let's say my Wira is using 4 holes. So it is impossible for me to use a rim with 5 holes?
Can, got to spend more to convert the hub. But why do it, as they are many rimes with 4 holes, 5 holes, even now 8 holes and ten holes for both 100 and 114.3 PCD....:biggrin:

Hi all. My brother's car (Gen-2 1.6 MT year 2004) got overheated because of thermostat failure. After he changed the thermostat(original proton) the engine goes well for about 2 months then it got overheated again also because of thermostat failure. He changed the thermostat(ori proton) and do the top overhaul but the engine got overheated during the test by the mechanic. The mechanic expected the engine head got warped. He said usually Campro head cannot be skimmed but he knows a machine...
