GR80 (195/60/R15) or DZ101 (195/55/R15) ???

[Mydotcom]

Collecting my ride this friday. Need to change the tires to a better one (Stock tires cannot make it). My main concern is 1st:wet performance and 2nd:noise.

 

Considering between GR80 and DZ101 now. I'm quoted the same price for both from PH. However, DZ101 only comes in max 55 profile. My stock tires profile is : 185/65/R15. Will the low profile of DZ101 looks weird (make my wheels look smaller) on my ride (Latio)?

 

Which is the better choice in terms of wet performance? GR80 or DZ101 ?

go upgrade ur rims to 16" and throw in Low Profile tyres..

Wet performance: DZ101 shld be better

Size wise, GR80 at 195/60 is more suitable

[Mydotcom]

Thats the optimum... however, don't really wish to up the size of my rims for the time being... so I gotta stick to 15"

[Mydotcom]

Is the GR80 wet grip really that good?

 

Saw the threads, doesn't really look like it will have good grip in wet...

heard tats the performance on wet areas slightly below expectations , ard 7-8 pts out of 10!!!cheers!

most pple who choose GR80 do not place wet performance as their top priorty.

it is more towards comfort and quiet. basically it is an all rounded tyre.

DZ101 is a performance tyre

Now i gotta try to picture how a 55 on 15" Profile would look on my ride that comes with stock 65 15" profile... Is the difference in size gonna be big?

[Toyo]

yes, it will be. My stock is 175/65R14. I upgraded to 195/55R15. lower profile but i upsize the rims so looks ok

I think HANKOOK V8rs is a good choice for you. Good Wet grip, comfortable and quiet....

Maybe you can check with Latio CLub which many latio are on it....

you using GR80?

[Lorrliew]

The GR80 is more of a comfort tyres, for Bridgestone the equivalent of DZ101 should be Potenza GIII; in fact the tread pattern is similar.

[Khee]

i'm on GR80 with my latio... i feel that it is more heavy than the stock Toyo... but wet surface performance confirm between the stock tyre...

[Shouyi]

I was quoted DZ101 16 inch for $155 per piece. Good deal ?

[Modykoh]

Gr-80, most shop now quoted no stock or not in production....

if your is 185/65, then select 195/55 should not make much diff...
