Sifu vr2turbo,
Planning to change my 205/55/R16 tyres soon. I've been reading around and knows that unfortunately wet grip/handling and durability doesn't really go hand in hand. I do a lot of long distance traveling from AS to JB also to KT and sometimes KB and I would like to find something that is durable, yet offers good wet traction. What would you recommend and the prices please.
What do you think of the Continental CC5?
Better go for grip and handling then, get slightly lower price so can still change after a while.
