HCZ 1st Gear January 16, 2010 Share January 16, 2010 Sorry that's PCA free, not PCD. Got it from Pitstop Tyres at Whitley Road (Caltex pumping station next to the Vet). PM me if you need more info. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quickfusion Clutched January 16, 2010 Share January 16, 2010 Federal fd 2 seems pretty comfy and good price also I agree, I'm on Federal Formoza FD2 and it is indeed quiet. Currently have ran about 6000km on it, I've ran on NSHW averagely about 140km/h to 150km/h in heavy rain and no slip nor aquaplaning. (or at least I never felt any) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pisces69 6th Gear January 16, 2010 Share January 16, 2010 my frez jus change it the shop say it similar to michellin brand =============== Thunder brand. Never heard of it b4? U still dare to buy?

Pisces69 6th Gear January 16, 2010 Share January 16, 2010 i used PP2 ... changed when my car is 50 k km .... now my car is 120k km it is is still running good...but touching the wear indication mark soon i thinking when i check the tyres.. anyway 3+ years liao need to change liao ... overall it is very good... noise wise and grip wise i like it but the price is not cheap ... i paid 180 for my 16" piece =========== S0H Bros quoted me less for 205/45/16 for PP2. The 205/50/16 is even cheaper. maybe u can consider next time u change. I didnt get as I bought the Yoko A.Drive R1 from him but wil prob get PP2 next time. But the A Drives r also very good but abt 30% cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sbtyong 1st Gear January 17, 2010 Share January 17, 2010 I could not find the stock to 16inch LS2000 HII. Blessing in disguise. I ended up buying a Y rated (up to 300km/h rating) performance tyres, the Ultrac Cento made by Vredestine. This is a 2012 European compliant tyre which met with very stringent European noise and wet grip (SW mark) requirements. I was extremely surprised at the noise level which was really low for a performance tyre. Mind you I was using the Yokohama dNA DB and would expect to hear rumbling noises. Instead, besides enjoying a much more confident ride now, the noise level, I must say does easily match up with the Yoko. Besides, these tyres are totally free from PCD, meaning environmentally friendly. It is very light (the 16 inch UC much lighter than my 14inch Yokos) and looks fabulous (designed by Giugiaro who design cars like Lambo and Maserati) Don't take my words for it, go make inquiries. Totally recommended. http://www.tyremen.co.uk/ultrac-cento.html This looks like a good choice for comfort and quiet tyre. How much you paid? Price range same as LS2000? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
