Tyres recommendation

[Zoom99]

My Mazda 3 tyres are worn out.

 

Can you recommend me a model with reasonable price?

Size is R16/205/55

 

Thanks a lot.

Michelin tyres are good.

Take a look and do a search.

Sorry to borrow your threads as I am looking to change tyres too.

 

I am looking at tyres like Yokohama S Drive, Toyo T1R or Bridgestone RE-01R? Criteria is balanced of grip for wet and dry but do not compromise on ride comfort.

me too just changed my shoes a few days ago from 2 months old falken 326 to Michelin XM1 due to noise and comfort issues.

Had shortlisted GR80, T1R and PP2 then, but eventually got MX1 due to engergy saving. I'm still on 1st tank and cannot comment on the FC delta now. But immediate noise level is so low up to 70km/h that i can hear my engine running.

Oh, I have heard about Michelin XM1 too but just not sure on the performance and ride comfort for this tyre.

Hi I am currently on T1R. Wet n Dry grip are good but ride comfort........... u can forget abt it.

Yes, I have used T1R before as it is a performance tyre but the grip for both wet and dry is superb. The weakness is that it is very noisy but if fitted on cars with stock or original sound proofing, can we still hear the tyre noise from the interior?

 

I have check through tyres like Michelin MXV8, Eagle F1 Assy, Bridgestone RE010, any other good tyres?

Brothers, I have heard that Bridgestone GR80 is well-known for good ride comfort which will not compromise on wet/dry grip, right?

bridgestone re001, eagle f1 gsd3, hankook v8, firestone wideovals.

I have tried Firestone Wide Ovals and this tyre give a lot of road feedback to the steering wheels, it include some minor vibration when you travel at high speed. I used this tyre for a month or 2 before trading in for another brand of tyres as I have done many times of high speed balancing but to no avail.

it was the energy saving thing that made me decided on this XM1.

[Watwheels]

Now all Michelin tires are energy saving what. Whether it's Preceda II, MXV8 etc all got the "low resistance roll".

I'm currently using hankook V8, previously on WideOvals and before that on Yoko C-drive. Surprisingly, the WideOvals are good. Ask me to compare for dry grip....the WideOvals are almost as good as V8. For wet grip, V8 is slightly better with less aquaplanning due to its 4 grooves design. But the WideOvals are not far off.

 

Nonetheless, just trying to give an alternative view. I had no problems on high speed with my old WideOvals.

 

I wouldn't mind using them anytime.

Thanks for the sharing but I am just confused which tyre I should choose for luxury car? I do not want to compromise for dry/wet comfort with noise comfort. Any recommendations?

T1R is good but soft sidewall. not good if you like cornering. But ok for normal drive

Err, luxury car? perhaps the hankooks and firestones not so "presentable" liao..

 

the XM1 seems pretty interesting, PP2 comes with rave reviews...what's your stock?

 

Personally, I would like to try the S-drive next...
