Mikelcy1963 1st Gear April 7, 2011 Share April 7, 2011 I know for sure cost-wise GR90 is way higher than the Falken and Yoko u listed. But its for sure more quiet than the Falken. (I am using it for 5 months now) Grip is more than enough if one is not a spirited driver. Compared to the rest I have no idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcw75 Hypersonic April 7, 2011 Share April 7, 2011 (edited) Go for DNA dB ES501. It's the cheaper and most comfortable tyre, if that's your criteria. Can try Bridgestone AR-10 too, it's a comfortable tyre. But sorry to tell you, tyre price has went up again. Tink every quarter they going to review the price. Luckily I managed to get hold of DNA dB before April and ask them to store for me till June before changing. Relating my experience last week: 195/65R15 Made in Japan Yokohama DNA dB ES501 $118 Made in Thailand Bridgestone AR-10 $128 Made in Thailand Michelin XM1 $135!

Greddy82 1st Gear April 7, 2011 Author Share April 7, 2011 i guessed i been digging out old reviews of the tyres..lol keep the replies coming peeps. do add in other tyres not listed that falls withing the criteria range. cheers Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonTan 2nd Gear April 7, 2011 Share April 7, 2011 (edited) In one of the bulletin....a 20% lower rolling resistance tyre will only save 3%in fuel cost. In another bulletin.....a higher inflated tyre can save more than 3% in fuel cost. My opinion....get a cheap and reasonable tyre. The quiet noise is subjective and I think most comfort orientated tyre in recent years are equally quiet. I am driving the Jazz on original 15" Yokohama S71 Eco tyre. The dry grip from this tyre is stupendous. The Jazz stock braking system is not able to invoked ABS in a dry straight line emergency brake from 80km/hr to 0km/hr. I guess the dry grip of this tyre is GOOD enough for normal road use. Lots of good read articles from here. http://toyo.xdesigns.com.au/tyre-technolog...al-bulletin.htm Edited April 7, 2011 by SimonTan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greddy82 1st Gear April 7, 2011 Author Share April 7, 2011 i forgot to add hankook k415 in the shortlisted list. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordanplus 1st Gear April 7, 2011 Share April 7, 2011 Ze912 is the cheapest among ur list, 15" is less than 100 bucks. currently is using it....value for money. K415 think is about the price of Ze912, feedback is not bad. DB es501 is most comfort tyre, but wet grip is suck. IS2000 wear very fast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starcombat Neutral Newbie April 7, 2011 Share April 7, 2011 Falken 912 may work for you if you really not a spirited driver. It is also louder than most others. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers definitely not ziex912 if your noise is of high priority to you. How about Toyo Teo plus? For made in japan tires, i think the price is acceptable. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
