How much budget do you have in mind? 4 pieces of Bridgestone Potenzas will cost you more than 30k nowadays.

By the way, how much mileage did you get from those Potenzas? Sport tires like the Potenza usually don't last more than 30k KM.

Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 - 5.5k per tire only
Very good value as it's much cheaper than the Bridgestone Potenza but has comparable performance in most instances except probably track use.

I have them on my Civic and am happy so far. Treadwear rating is 300 (compared to Potenza RE003's 220) so you can expect it to last longer.

6-7k max sana budget ko. upon inquiring nasa 9300 na ang potenza.

not sure pero siguro nasa 20-22k km ba tinatakbo ng potenza ko.

Yokohama Dagupan. But I'm sure other Yokohama dealers have stocks or can order stocks of the Advan V701 225/45R18. It's locally made so supply shouldn't be an issue.

Good luck!

Sinwerte pala ko dun sa purchase ko. I just got my set of V701s last month, didn't know they had a shortage of supply.

How about the GT Champiro SX2? How much would they be for 18s?

Around 5.5-6k for 225/45. Good choice also if you want something more track-oriented. I almost got SX2s before deciding on the Advans.

I doubt the SX2 will be as quiet and comfortable and durable as the Advan, but I'm pretty sure it could give me an extra 1-2 seconds off my laptime on the track. I weighed it and the everyday benefits outweigh the once-in-a-few-months lap time improvements.
