Yokohoma Advan DB Decible 551 Are Hell Better Than C-Drive.

^Yes man I was actually interested in the Dunlop SP Sport 9000...It has no match in the field of handling, cornering, braking and comfort...Its even better than the ADVAN DB but sadly checked from two shops Asad Tyres, Saddar Rawalpindi and Welldone Tyres, Murree Road, Rawalpindi but it isn't available at both of these shops so thats why now have just two choices available AVS DB and C-Drive and nor the mothapuckin ADVAN DB is available anywhere in Islamabad and Lahore!!!

i would recommend Michellin as first choice.
however if you ve to chose from Yokahama then DB Advan is the best.

Out of the two options that you have go for c.drive as what you're looking for is a tyre that can help you corner, is good for spirited driving and is comfortable for daily driving. They are not noisy but not as quite as dBs. You will love the drive of the car and might not miss your favourite Dunlop sp sport 9000.

Brother I have decided to go for C-Drive but in 195/65R15 as I want the ride not to be bumpy but soft and comfortable!!!

Got new tyres Michelin XM2 195/65/R15 with fresh date of 1513 and with warranty for my new civic by the advice of @khm42747. So far loving them.

Bought Corolla Gli in 2009 and changed its tyres to Yokohama C-Drive. Till now car has covered 74000 kilometers and these tyres are still good enough for city usage. These tyres were the best ones i have ever used on my cars (Except Michelin tyres which were ff on my Accord CM7). This was my experience with C-Drive.
Today i was at tyre shop for changing tyres of my Alto and he said that C-Drive are better then DB decibel. Don't know why he said that but everyone on Pakwheels are in favor of DBs.

Budget?
Have a look at continental CCC5. I've installed them in my 8th gen and 9th gen civic. They are more quieter and comfy than AVS DB or C drive.
costs 11-12k per tyre but worth the money.

Great man so can you tell me how is the grip of C-Drives?

And everyone on Pakwheels are in favour of DBs because they are super quite and very grippy as well!!!
