Recommendation on Tyres

[vortex]

think all new tyres are quiet. changed form my 185/65/12 V2 to falken 912 205/50/16.

Btw, seems lke V2 braking distance shorter compared to 912.

Hmm... sounds illogic if the thread pattern is similar. It could be due to difference in force applied on brake, travelling speed, road conditions, weather condition, brake pads, weight of load in car, etc.

v2 and 912 of vast difference. V2 is directional and 912 is asymmetric. difference in compound used probably the reason.

probably so.. no choice. times are bad.. will have to wait till end of yea b4 switching to V8s.

GR80 is the Bridgestone right and TC have promotion on that now?

^

Could anyone confirm on the above?

Stock tyre (I think is Toyo?) 185/65R15, I have the intention of changing them to GR80 195/60R15 at a tyre workshop. Recommended to change? Or don't bother and just use the stock tyre since I'm not changing rim size?

hi!

today just send my car to TCM BT for some chking. the foreman took my car out for a spin and told me that my tyre handling is very good  . I was actually complaining to them abt my bad fc and rough engine noise. then i ask him whether is it my tyre road holding power is too good then causing my bad fc. he was smiling and saying mayb abit lor  hmm...... dunno how true is it. btw, i m using Potenza RE001

im not sure, u try then let me know leh

U can try Falken ST115, size 195/60R15. I used them on my Latio, the wet and dry grip is good though a bit noisy.

Hankook tyre definately got my vote. if u want better tyre can try the v2 blackbird.

I also enquired about the H424 V2 Blackbird 185/65R15 in Toh Guan as a direct replacement for my Stock Toyo Tyres. Slightly above S$100 per tyre.

The thing is, the tire manufacturing date indicated 06/08, which I believe Week 6, 2008 production. Is the tyre too old to use?

My Toyo tyres are reaching 50000km soon. Time to change?

I;m on Federal 595EVO and loving it! $130 a piece for 215/45/R17 its really ecellent value for money. Noise level is good, wet grip has lived up to expectations, hit standing puddles of water did not even aqua plann left or right. definitely the tyres to go for and has a strong following in the states as well. I say if u r looking for performance tyres this is great value.

hi mambo,

i m keen on federal 595evo, but worry abt the noise level..is it silent or the noise is juz simply bearable? is it available in 15"?

[machim]

Any bro knows where to get new gr80 tyres? Heard it is no longer in production...

What is the difference btw directional and asymmetric?
Noticed that for every car servicing above 10K at TCM, Rotate and Balance Tyre is "part of the package". If we change tyre outside ourselves, will this service still be included?

Many thanks for your advice in advance =)
