[Hamburger]

looks like a replacement for OEM tyres. nothing to shout home about

[Soya]

looking at the profiles which are offered, appear to be not much more than oem replacement-grade tyres.

[Longbownet]

Meaning to replace the GR30s?

 

Heard its going to replace the GR80s as well, wonder how mch truth there is to it.

[Octopus]

Its meant to replace ER60. No mentioning that GR80 will be phase out....

Some quote from the test drive of AR-10...

 

As a refresher, the new Bridgestone AR10 was recently introduced as a successor to the aging ER60 and promises increased safety in the wet with technology that decreases hydroplaning, it also promotes comfort with its low harshness and noise levels.

 

What does the AR10 have over the ER60? Well according to Bridgestone, its something called Particle Z.

The mysterious Particle Z is able to deform when cornering pressure is applied on the tyre, and as it does so, it expands to make even more contact with the road and if you haven

[Fcw75]

Yep, it's made in thailand.

[Fcw75]

No wonder no one is using it here.

[Rickyokc]

so price should much cheaper than GR80 ?

[Fcw75]

No idea leh. But it's the same price as DNA DB.

[Modykoh]

how the DNA DB, the sucessor for aspec DB ?

successor in the sense as on skid?

[Furrynadz]

i using on my berlingo van

 

pretty fine, something similar to nct5 ..etc

 

 

as i was saying, if urs is common size, any other option

Cheap and decent set of tyres (80-85bucks per pc). Have been using this coming to 2 years, clocking some >50k with lots of NS highway driving. Even at speeds up to 170-180km/h, tyres feels decent enough.

Noise level on the quiet side, got noticably noisier at >40k. Grip is also decent for dry and wet conditions.

Time to change and looking at GR90 for replacements.. :)

Yes using this tyre on my company car. Treads seems to be fast wear out after travelling for nearly 20k km. This tyre is made in thailand. Yes it is an OEM from japanese make thats why the price is valur for money type.

 

this tyre traction does not seems good but not very noisy. Can be use for normal using of 100km/h and below but not recommended for 105 to 140 km/h esp travelling on malaysia PLUS highway. Not as good as yokohama A drive. I think to get simliar price from this tyre get pirelli P7 will be better or if want use bridgestone get potenza RE001
