my boss has been using them for 6 months. so far so good in terms of grip in dry/wet conditions. the only complaint he made was the road noise and he claimed that it's getting louder month by month

me no pro. juz my 2 cents.

 

my gf's colt is given this tyre as stock 15 inch. not bad. pretty gd grip.

 

how much was it quoted ?

Depends on what you looking for....performance or comfort

 

It's marketed as a tyre having balance of sports and comfort. My personal review is:

- Quieter than my Goodyear Eagle F1 (a ultra performance tyre)

- Average stopping distance for dry and wet compared to F1

- Expensive (cos' comes from Japan - I think)

if im nt wrong shld be 90/pcs..... wats the mileage when it gt louder?? shld be alot better than F1 and ST115 if im nt mistaken....

[Linus]

not sure when it will get louder. current mileage is ard 10k. delivery was march 2006.

 

now still ok.

[Linus]

90/pc not bad ley. i got my BFG 15 inch 85/pc. but C drive has a nicer sidewall design.

my have done 20K getting noise but grip still ok

[Elfenstar]

Been using them since june 06. Done 20000km on them.

 

Grip is pretty good in both wet and dry.

Don't expect ultra-high performance specs, but it still stops me on a dime. I don't know what dealers are saying but yoko lists it as a comfort tyre with grip.

 

Noise wise its quieter than the advans which came with the car from japan, but low noise is not its strong point.

 

Its not the best tyre for handling (it is a comfort tyre afterall- this is where its grip loses out to a sports structure, compound is very similar), but you can still go fairly quick (60kmh on a hairpin with squealing tyres but no understeering anyone??).

 

Overall a very good tyre. In fact, IMHO if i was ever again to go for a non-performance tyre, this is it. Its the perfect street tyre in the sense that you stop quick with good aquaplanning properties yet is not overly noisy, the ride is not harsh and it lets you know very early that its at its limits. Its in the same league with contipremium contacts and pilot preceda 2's (kinda slots between the two).

Thanks for the review, how does it compare with Toyo's T1R, do you know?

me also looking for new tyres, so far c drive and gr80 got the best reviews if you are not so into performance tyres

[Furrynadz]

diff league

t1r is aa while cdrive is a rated

 

t1r should be compared with preceda, eagle f1, es100/adrive, dz101/sportmaxx

[Vooth]

Ok thanks, btw do you know how stiff the T1R's sidewalls are? If too hard it might affect the ride comfort right?
