I wonder who is the copy cat here? ie. Who copied whose design?

[Carmodz]

here!  my dad's car is on this... Quite noisy when compared to my Aspec DNA db... but the grip is fantabulous in my humble opinion...

When you say grip is fantabulous, were you comparing to Aspec DNA db?

Yes. Of course, you may be inclined to think that I should compare LS2000 Hybrid II to real sports tyres, but it is not a full-fledged sports tyre. LS2000 Hybrid II is meant to be a cross between comfort, noise, and grip. So if compared against to those hiong ones such as the sporty series from Hankook maybe will lose.  =p

LS2000 and LS3000 series is classified under high performance tyre category IIRC.

Hankook optimo k415 also classifield under the high performance range...

i just changed mine to enkei rims and ls2000 a month ago from the stock tyres and rims. it's a bit noisy compared to stock but handling wise is so much better. when i did 60km/h at the pie to clementi ave 6 roundabout, my tyres will screech at about 60km but now doing it at 70km is not problem and better handling too. would encourage to change to that compared to hankook.

wow! quite surprised to hear the the ls2000 is abit noisy compared to stock! Because its been marketed as a quiet comfort tire. Thanks for sharing!

and why do you encourage changing a particular model of tire versus a particular brand of tires?

I am on LS2000 hybrid II, now on 12k after I swap them.
Initially is quiet and it gets noisy after 10k. Grid and comfort wise is acceptable.
Some ppl in other forum was saying this is equivalent to GR-80 by slightly noisier.

sorry, a noob in tyres.

1) Is it soft tyres = comfy (not rough) and less noise? but no good grip?

2) Are there tyres that dun make noise after 10k to 20k run? suppose wear and tear would result in burning of rubber = noisy?

pls enlighten as i sometimes round sharp bends with 60 to 80km/hr with current stock.
so far so good except tyre marks smoothen faster at sides. Any recommendation?

[latinojoe]

it's quite noisy but i would say that performance wise is better and i would sacrifice a little comfort on noise for safety. i tried the roundabout turn at clementi ave 6 with stock about 60-70km and it starts to skid a little but with the LS2000, 90-100km and i'm still doing good!
am recommending it against hankook but not sure of bridgestone potenza .

Anyone knows the current price of Hankook optimo k415 for 185/65 & 195/60 to replace stock Toyo?
