Bluepica 4th Gear June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 After read some of the thread here, I have shorten down to 2 selection, either GR80 or V8... Any bro have more comparison btw these 2? In term of comfy, quiet and good grip? Well, comfy and good grip might not goes hand in hand but decent grip will do as I travel much on NSH. Also should I keep to 185/65/R15 or should I take a broader width of 195/60/R15? what's the diff besides increase FC and increase sluggishness? Thanks all ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrynadz 5th Gear June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 i doubt can find gr80 around seems replaced by AR10 suggest u go for bridgestone re001 its grip is better than v8rs by a long mile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latioboy 1st Gear June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 Both tyres has it's plus and minus. I am going choose GR80 cause it's a mindset problem that I have to overcome. Its MIJ compared to MIK. But i have many friends who are on V8 and it's really good! So thus, I'm open to both choices. It's a hard choice bro As for 185 or 195, it doesnt matter cause FC didn't really increase after the 185 to 195 change for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopus 3rd Gear June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 [reply] i doubt can find gr80 around seems replaced by AR10 suggest u go for bridgestone re001 its grip is better than v8rs by a long mile I did a search on AR10, and discovered it is a replacement for ER60. So I assume GR80 should be still available? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebonchi 1st Gear June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 Been using 185/65/15 for GR80 and now using 195/60/R15 V8 (aka V2 blackbird)... personal preference would be the GR80... more comfort...and the V8 seems more noisy after less than a year.... FC dun seems that have any significant.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wongkyl Neutral Newbie June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 I just changed my 3yrs GR80 to V8RS(Blackbird V2)last month. Somehow I find GR80 quieter and a little more comfy. Both tyres got good grips. I was told now GR80 is made in Thailand. It is also pricier (appx $130 for 195/60/R15) when I approached a few shops to get quote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonteh Clutched June 3, 2008 Share June 3, 2008 V8 is not bad - IMO quieter and better grip than the Firenza tires that I used to have. Why don't try the new Hankook V12, also being discussed in the forum, seems promising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
