[Theoldjaffa]

hi bro and sis, need some advise.

 

i am going to change my tyres in about 1-2 months time, am not sure of what tyres should i get. maybe you guys can help me by giving my some comments. i am considering either getting a 195/55/R16 or 195/50/R16.

 

currently on Goodyear Revspec RS-02 205/45/R16 upgraded from 185/65/R14 bridgestone

 

REVIEW ON REVSPEC RS-02

-wear off very fast

-abit bumpy

-excellent dry and wet grip

-abit noisy

 

 

here are my priorities for upcoming new tyres :

 

1. quietness/Noise

2. Dry and wet Grip

3. comfort

4. Lasting

5. Budget

 

thanks in advance

 

i'd recommend BF Goodrich g-Force Sports.

 

good balance of everything. its not quiet, but definitely not noisy like the SS595

That would reduce your wheel's overall diameter. That will compromise the handling of your car.

 

Your car is SUV? So high profile tyre.

215/60/R16 is 3.1% smaller than 215/65/R16. Usually the recommended difference is no more than 3%, but since u are downsizing rather than upsizing, i think it should be borderline ok.

brother...i am currently running on 225/45/17 CSC 2 on my bao-bei........super quiet....silent performer....

 

verdict - thread design quiet, compound quiet......

 

furthermore good deal as there are clearing stock to make way for CSC 3...i had a superb deal for them...cleared my OEM potenza RE030 which i found grippy but noisy

 

i was originally going for either Miohelin pilot preceda 2 or Bridgestone GR80.....when it comes to tires, i suggest no compromise !

 

my suggestion would be Michelin Pilot sport , CSC 2 or 3, the new Adrenalins or Re050....they will save you when u need to brake hard to avoid that stupid kid running across the road !

 

Hey, bro Azarael, can pm me the shop tat you bought the tyre ... thnk u ... dom they have 205/55/r16?

15" for V8RS definitely avail

Hello Watwheels,

 

How does it affects the handling of the car?

 

Yes..its a CRV.

 

High profile tyres...what does that means?

 

Thanks.

[Xin63]

Am looking for quiet tyres and in this category its difficult to find the exact size for my tyres.

 

Don't mind a road tyre that's quiet, even though I'm driving a SUV.

 

Thanks for your advise.

[Dennisk]

really? i was about to get rs-2 as i thought they doesn't have v8rs for 15"

[Xin63]

Hi,

 

I was recommended the MXV8 by a workshop and a kind gentleman. Was told that its very quiet and better than the Preceda 2.

 

But when I went thru the archive in this forum , there were comments that say its very noisy and lousy.

 

Kindly advise with your comments. Thank You.

If U want great dry grip with good wet grip to boot. Nice stiff sidewall. Noise my be an issue

 

If you want an overall good tyre in both wet & dry. Comfy & quiet. Go 4 V8RS
