Cpc2 and pp2

[Jesse]

you're right. PRICE is the big issue especially for 16" wheel and above. $200> unless can get loban if not can go for other make.

cheers

[Archon]

I am using both model.

2 back CPC

2 front CPC2

 

So far, I have not experience any aquaplane with this set of tyre. I've try driving many times into a pool of water on the road surface. The tyre thread just skim the water off effectively. I almost have no fear losing control of the car.

 

I also like the grip especially when cornering. It never fail me during my sharp bend.

Noise level, still ok.

 

I can only compare two brands in my 7 years driving.

 

Michelin - 4 years usage

Conti - 3 years usage

 

I do not mind investing a good set of tyre as they are the only contact between me and the road surface.

[Jesse]

yup consider new. my got my ride in March 06 lah. A4 tour.

[Try_conti]

The tour comes with CPC. You changed to CPC2 already ?

[Jesse]

OEM cpc super contact. the original tyre noisy and grip is ok. change due to sidewall of tyre swell.

[Try_conti]

what causes the sidewall to swell ?

[Jesse]

not sure. the tyre was manufactured in 03. think shelf life expired lah. anyway just change them last month after usage of 16000km.

[Try_conti]

wah, CA like that also can. Give you a car in 06 that has 03 tyres on it ?

 

You didn't go CA & bang tables ah ?

 

By the way, your mileage quite high leh. Average 2k every month. What's your FC ?

[Jesse]

bang table also useless lah.by the way the OEM not that good and me also think of changing to better one. i do most of my travelling to malaysia lah. going to drive to thailand next month.play safe

[Try_conti]

phwah, drive all the way to Thai with new car ? Enjoy your trip.

[Jesse]

hi,

 

u ppl go ahead first.... my car big problem.... gearbox & engine blow.... :(

 

i had read many articles, overall pp2 (japan made) is slightly better than cpc2.... bt if in term of pricing, cpc2 win a horse head.....

 

anyway, i will go for cpc2.... just scare the treadwear....

[Try_conti]

gearbox & engine

 

what did you do ??

[Ewicong]

hi Archon,

 

cpc2 UTQG (treadweartractiontemperature) = 280 AA A.

but what is the real treadwear? can lasting for hw many km?

[Ewicong]

aiiii....

 

mb press too hard...

 

gearbox shd gone...

[Archon]

I don't have all this figure now.

But my old CPC tyre last me 40k +

 

The only problem with CPC is the sidewall get wear off fast at 30k. Not sure why, think it is the design. .

 

I am still monitoring my CPC2. So far so good.

[Ewicong]

tat is gd.... heard tat cpc is nt so long lasting...

 

r u driving continental car? i heard workshop said that continental car normally sidewall wear off quickly bcos of chamber setting.....

[Archon]

Yes, I am driving conti car.

I have no idea what is chamber setting.
