Recommend tyres to replace my gr80

[Cyberet]

past? means long time ago? guess its could be preceda 1

V8rs on 17inches on a MPV changing their tyre at 60000km but still with thread. Hankook tyre generally have much higher mileage than other brand. Even the Commercial tyre, we recorded 40% more than Top Jap brand...

hmmm..

 

i might wanna object that..

 

i just switched to V8RS abt 3 weeks back and the wet grip is not as good as GR-80..the aquaplaning resistance is good..but then, on semi wet surface, not as grippy as GR-80..

 

Try Aspec DB?

mi i think its becos the lower springs , chamfers settings... and i corner hard...

thus the high wear.

 

but compare with other brands the wear is alarming.

even a few of my frens used V8 oso same.

 

soft , comfy, high wear, ... but silent and good grip comes with this price to pay lor.

but worth the trade if u wan comfort with grip

[Popok]

wow guys many recommendations..

GIII no more in production...man..

i like gr80, no issues wif tyres watsoever, grippy, wet grip also good..and last very long.

tot of getting hankook but someone mentioned tat its wear rate is fast..

looks like either gr80 or eagle f1..anywhere in the west good rates??

 

CHEERS

not all hankook is fast lar... think the k415 and the k104 ... and the others quite okie.,... jus i find v8 fast.....

[Circuit]

huh? those ski rubbers

[Abba]

Hankook are quite lasting, flends R-s2 lasted >45k km on WRX as he drives up to KL for work often. Twice of his previous AD07 as he drives hard

 

S1 Evo & K104 also very lasting. V8RS are pretty lasting as well

 

F1 German not lasting but great grip, tom yum lasting but poor grip.

 

GR80 is just a normal H rated street tyre equivalent to K415, V8RS is like an upgrade with V rating

[Abba]

isn;t drifting breaking traction

[Supply]

I found the sidewalls on the V8RS is too soft for me. Is the S1 Evo any better?

[Circuit]

i dun know.. cos i using 16" .... nv got chance on it. unless u running 17" above .

S1 heard not bad. for comfort and grip. but i dun know.. no 16"

 

if u dun mind comfort. think RS2 is good for utimate street grip for budget, but soft compound.

or the k104 for v good grip with long lasting. but got noise for these 2 tires.

[Sonata]

How about R215 225/45-17 change to 215/55-17 will be better ?

Try Aspec DB?

 

Agreed with you. Some bro called it sucidal tyres, best if you wish to emulate initial D takumi drifting techniques, this tyres will help you to drift effortlessly and most of the time, uncontrollable too.

 

For me, i won't go near this tyre at all...
