Replacement For GR80s

[Shull]

ER30 should be stock for Honda Civic, right?

 

yup..comes stock on the FD..so wanted to know how it compared to the GR-80..which is on my ES before i switch over to FD..

[Lobang]

Go for Yoko ES501. very quiet tires....

It seems like Bridgestone are still carrying GR-80. I saw it at the roadshow at marina square.

[WTF]

How about its performance in dry and wet conditions? Pls advise.

[Octopus]

My model is just before the current one, not sure if it's the FL version. How do you tell, can advise?

 

Saw on my forms that it's just written Altis 1.6D....

 

Current Altis is the FL version. Car size bigger and the wheel I think also bigger than the pre-FL Altis. Yours should be the pre-FL version.

Yup, my should be the pre-FL Altis. It's also the last face-lift of its model before the current one appeared.

thanks for your replies.

 

I was actually deciding between the BS RE 001 or the Michelin's XM1. However, i think i will go for the XM 1 for the comfort. My car has horrific sound insulation..

Do share with us the performance and comfort of XM1 once you've changed them. I'm also looking into replacing tyres and XM1 is one of those I'm considering.

Chcanged to XM1 about a week ago at Soh Brothers. Tyres are relatively new, manufactured 1909.

 

Would say it is very identical to the GR80s in terms of comfort level and grip.

 

Would expect it to be quiet initially but will input once I have more mileage with it.

Country of MFG????

XM1 made in thailand. But Michelin very smart, they print the wording on the inside of the tyre.

 

Bridgestone AR-10 also made in thailand. For the same class, only Yokohama DNA dB made in japan.

BRIDGESTONE GR80 still in the market, but only 16-18 ' available.

 

the direct replacement is AR10 for 14-15' ( both turanza series )

 

gr80 - jap

ar10 - thai

 

TOYO launch a new tyres call DRB . review so far is very good , but expect the pricing somewhere near gr80

japan make also .

 

If u want some thing lower price and still japan made , comfort , ls2000 g.y is a good replacement also .

Anyone know the price for the AR10. I'm looking at 195/65R15.

was on GR-80s which were slightly over 2 yrs old and sounded like a rocket due to the age.

 

Changed to Firehawk wide ovals as choices for my 14" size is very limited.

 

So far, I can say the firehawk is a good replacement for GR-80 and pricing-wise it is competitive since it is made in Thailand

should be about 125 +- depend on place. if u go a.m.k area u might be able to get it for 110? maybe, if u going to a high end place like autob--, they might quote u 130.

 

End of the day it depend on the service , some place u get for a low price , but they dun change the valvue for u , p--,h--- in amk dun even balance your tyres .

 

i get it for 121 , in the jurong side, i like their service , u can call 96918107 , i get from their card.
