Bridgestone GR80

[Mzrmazda3]

Bro, like Bro Garycsy had said.

 

It's consider a price including installation, wheel balancing & GST

 

Some places selling at 80 plus to 90 bucks for your info

[Thxmel]

roughly how long does it take for them to change all 4 tyres and wheel balancing?

[Mzrmazda3]

About 20-25 mins if there is no customer at the point of time

 

Might even be lesser than this

Thanks, Garycsy.

 

Usually how much is wheel balancing cost?

[Garycsy]

so far i have not come across any seller who charge wheel balancing separately for new wheels purchases, so dun have to worry about the cost. if someone quote u a price, just confirm with the person, does it include gst, installation, everything.

 

I may be going to purchase the tyres this sat afternoon, either for hankook or bridgestone. have u decided which one u want? u wanna join me?

[Jonbummer]

Still using 16'' ?

[Helloworld88]

This car is almost 2 yrs old, so no point to upgrade it "now"....and it is a family car, all I want is quiet and comfort.

[Garycsy]

hiyo, decided on GR80 and just changed it. while driving back tried 110km/h decided on GR80 cos it is proven quiet lasting after being in the market for few years, while K415 is relatively new, so even though there is good review, it has not passed the time trial yet.

 

satisfied with the low noise level, just a little bit less comfortable than Aspec DB. grip wise on dry road acceptable but not tried on wet road yet.

 

was on BF goodrich sports before this, $50 cheaper than GR80 and the grip on wet road is

. after 1 yr on it, i find that i am driving faster on wet days due to the good grip and short braking distances by this tyres. Downside is it will become noisy after 6 months. so noisy until my ear drums buay tahan cos my kia lousy on sound insulation... but seriously, those who have good sound insulation or dun mind noises, this tyre is really good on dry and excellent in wet road. even uncle frankie at soh tyres acknowledged that this tyre is good.

 

before BF goodrich, when 1st received car, was on Yokohama Aspec DB, at first was very very happy with the low noise and comfort! but after 6 months started to sweat! many times when i did e-brake, the f.ucking tyre take a long braking distance and skidded to the side everytime! and the noise level grew louder after 1 yr... i learned to drive slower and keep a long long distance from the front car on rainy days. that's why i took 6 months after changing to BF goodrich to drive faster in rainy days. now even if u pay me $, i also dun wan to buy this tyre cos i dun wan to forgo safety for low noise and comfort by using this tyre.

I just changed my tyres to Hankook K415 recommended by Robertoon.

 

So far I like the tyres grip and quiet. Yes, it is new and hope it can last longer than my stock tyres ( last 1.5 years ).

[Chucky2007]

Hi, how much did you pay for your hankook k415?

[Latiosedan]

just changed that 3 months ago... they are good tyres. Quiet enough for me.

[Jonbummer]
