Amorail Neutral Newbie July 20, 2016 Share July 20, 2016 target these 2 195/55/r15 tyre. Quiet is the priority as my car audio is bad enough. Bridgestone GR100 ContiPremiumContact 5 Price wise only a slight difference. But read from the net that CPC5 will wear out fast. Any comments ? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GR 100 will hardly last 40k km. i am currently on v551 whose predecessor (501) lasted 55k km and is more comfortable than GR100 while displaying the same handling abilities. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaquest Clutched July 23, 2016 Share July 23, 2016 Has been using Yoko DB tyres for many years for the quietness, comfort & cost. It is suppose to be good on dry roads but lousy on wet. I have driven to KL many times using this tyres, and many times it is raining on the NS Highway, no problem at all. Was doing an avg of 140km/h. Therefore on SG roads would be safe enough. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earthboy 4th Gear July 26, 2016 Share July 26, 2016 bro. is the v551 acceptable on the wet with respect to traction and braking? i am on GR100 for 22 months with 27,000km on it. i think is still good for another 5k at least. it is low noise, low rolling resistance and very comfortable. no issue in the wet thus far for my driving style. tempted to change to v551 but i have no reason to not like the GR100 than I may not know what i am missing. :) i've switched to yoko v551 advan DB for my teana... so far so gd, very quiet and low rolling resistance. yet to monitor FC bro, good info. how does wet traction of the v551 compared to the GR100? same same or better? The GR 100 will hardly last 40k km. i am currently on v551 whose predecessor (501) lasted 55k km and is more comfortable than GR100 while displaying the same handling abilities. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
