Hi there!
it's time to me to change tyres. My Toyo J50s are left with 3mm+ of thread and I find them noisy.
Anybody using Toyo Teo Plus? I'm quite keen on this tyres but still wondering if it is noisier than Dunlop Lemans LM703? Which tyre is good for low noise, good FC (high mileage) and comfort?
Thanks!!! ;D

think no further.
hankook v8 / v12 is your answer.
-
Hankook Optimo K415's got my vote
1. very affordable
2. lasting
3. quiet
4. excellent in the wet
5. comfortable
6. Short braking distance (from test report i read)
-
I would find that v8 /v2 or k415 is worth buying as i have been using this two model of rubber.
For lasting & wet type k415 is good
For soft , quiet type would be v2 / v8
As for toyo teo my friend is using for his altis he told me no gd in the wet
n not that quiet after 5000km.
Bro space2638 can consider this two model.
It worth buying & now got offer some more. :thumbsup:

hw abt toyo t1r? heard alot of gd comments abt it too!

Hi and thanks for the replies! =)))
I've read through the forums and the recommendations are always Hankooks... lol.. just wondering: before you guys arrived at this unanimous vote for Hankook, have you tried other brands? The rubber on V8 feels hard (I tried pinching it the last time at MM08) so I wonder how quiet can it get? Cos I've never been on it before so quite worried that it might not suit my requirements. How about comparing the Hankook V8 vs Bridgestone Turanza GR-80 and MXV8 because I've been on these tyres before.
I really hate noise. lol... I've soundproofed my own car myself by ripping out the doors and pasting superlon sheets along the doors & beneath the carpets...(DIY lor..)

Noise is much more important to me and grip less important, but i require more grip than the Yokohama DNA dB ES501 (for safety reasons) and willing to trade-off a little additional noise compared to DNA dB. So does that mean V2/V8 is out of the picture already?
I drive on h'way 90% of the time and keep a huge safety distance... lol
That's why I need good FC from the tyre...

some semi slick tires are really soft, press ur fingernails and u will feel how soft they are! But are they quiet? No....
thread pattern and compound used plays an important part in noise production my friend.

Well, I had tried V2, CPC2 and short time with PP2 and a even shorter time now with Adrenalin.
CPC2 & V2
Grip - CPC2 more assuring
Noise equal
Comfort CPC2 more comfortable than V2
Above based on previous ride
PP2 & Adrenalin
Grip - Adrenalin
Noise - Adrenalin
Comfort - more or less equal
Based on current ride
Comparing all together
Grip - Adrenalin
Noise - Adrenalin & CPC2 same better than the other 2
Comfort - Adrenalin & CPC2 same better than the other 2
That's opinion
-
Thanks for all your replies. CPC2 sounds expensive.. lol
I'll consider them after reading more reviews... haha.. as for tyre size increase, will there be a noticeable drop in FC? 185/65R15 to 195/60R15 - Apart from aesthetic purpose, what else do i get? Better grip?
=)
-
Based on my take.
Michelin PP2 current on my ride and BS RE001 on my friend ride, feedback based on both my friend and mine.
PP2 vs RE001
Price: RE001
Dry: RE001
Wet: PP2
Noise: PP2
Handling: Both as we not into track
Lifespan: PP2 threadwear better
Comfort: PP2
May try Goodyear RS-02 next or F1 Asy, wanted to try Toyo T1R before getting my PP2 but advise against the noise and performance drop after 10K mileage. I heard review that Kumho KU31 not bad, cheap and good.

Hey!!
I've changed my tyres last week to Yokohama Aspec DNA dB. They are real quiet and smooth, but grippy too! It's not as horrendous as I had "braced" myself before deciding to try the DNA Dbs....
Cos i drove on the old aspec Db before and I aquaplaned at high speeds (that was a W211 E200 Kompressor)
But this DNA Db? The grip is definitely sufficient even in heavy torrential downpour. Tried and Tested as I was caught in a downpour on Friday afternoon around the city area. Was doing up to 100km/h on PIE, and the tyres were reasonably grippy in the rain for its silence. =))) very happy with my decision to try the new DNA Db, just like what other bros have said on sgcarforums, you never know until you try it... cos the old aspec really sucked. This one's different. . . But I hope that it'll continue to be underrated so I can get it cheap! hehehe
Cheers
