5 tyres to choose from.. which one??

[Nickynick]

Bridgestone Turanza GR80 - $95/pc not bad

[Nhrisuzu]

today tested the new rubbers on AYE towards City during afternoon downpour.. the cutting is really good!!

[Nhrisuzu]

anyone know if stock Wira can fit 195/60/R15 tires??

[Albeniz]

My car has been fitted with GR80 since August 2005. Still in good condition. Unbelievable! But my mileage is very low, car is sitting in car park most of the time.

act if ur driving is non aggressive, pt A to pt B type, i thk the es501 price is very good

[Linus]

wait till the tyres scrub-in. the tyres perform well when heated up. yeah, when going through puddles of water, the steering wont jump so much on either side.

 

despite that, still not safe to speed in the wet. safety first, my friend.

[Nhrisuzu]

thank u for the advice bro.. will keep that in mind..

 

i am so satisfied until i recommend my brother to change also.. he is all praises also..

 

thumbs up for Robert and his team..

[Linus]

hahaha.. good for you dude. there are still people who says korean tyres, can use or not. i guess the best is try it in person. get all the answers there and then.

bro, if you want hankook, V8 is the only model you want ?

i can help go down with you to hankook shop to see other models.

 

currently using V8, 205/45/16. very good in the wet. soft side wall, comfy tyres.

 

unfortunately, i had not used the other 4 makes before. personally, i would not take 326. i guess GR80 would have similar performance as the B391.

 

I had diff experience.

Used B391 (185/70R14) on altis and aquapan along CTE during very heavy rain.

Used GR80 (195/60R15) on altis and Latio, grip on wet and dry quite ok to me

Recently changed to V2 (195/60R15), not much diff from GR80. Felt quieter but maybe tyres still new (now less than 8K)

 

Regarding price, the famous shop at AMK quoted me $85 for GR80 (195/60R15). His quote too late and was already changing to V2, else would have gotten GR80 from him. BTW bought V2 at I think $104??

[Linus]

have not tried V2 on 15 inch. cant comment much. likewise for GR80.

 

now on V8, 16 inch.

[Spyder79]

which famous shop is tat ?? SIC ??

[Toalson]

U could have tried CPC2, it is as good or if not better than V8 but cheaper. I switched from V8 to CPC2. Now oredi 10K on it.

 

My previous V2 served me well for about 50k or so.

[Nhrisuzu]

hmmm.. using V2 now.. 5K on it liao.. past few days have downpour..

 

the water treading is good as compared to others i used before..

[Ericsnow]

I wanted to change to V8 but Hankook doesnt accept trade in. Currently running on Falken Ziex 522, 6k+ km only. Still considering to change to V8 but can I sell my current 522 to any shop? Feel so wasted if I were to dispose them and I believe they can still worth some value?

[Bearbear1494]

Lelong the old tires to those who use the same size. Trade in at shops also not much value. They'll take in at very low price & then resell at double. Post in various car forums for a lower price & I'm sure there'll be takers.

[Nhrisuzu]

make use of the classifieds here.. i sold off a set of Yoko Aspecs when changing to V8 also..

[Toyo]

U could have tried CPC2, it is as good or if not better than V8 but cheaper. I switched from V8 to CPC2. Now oredi 10K on it.

 

How much cheaper is CPC2 compared to V8?

thks
