Mikelcy1963 1st Gear February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Time to change tires. Am using BS GR90 215/50/17 on a saloon. Happy with it so far but wanted to hear opinions Prefer comfort and quietness. Safety is also important (of course) but I don't need performance tires on a sedate saloon. Anything out there now better than the GR90 based on the above requirements ? Or should I stick with GR90 ? Thanks ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelcy1963 1st Gear February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 How hard do you drive your car? I don't drive hard at all. But I like the tires to have stopping ability equal to the GR90. Good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelcy1963 1st Gear February 1, 2013 Author Share February 1, 2013 CSC3 Seems like a performance tire. Comfort and noise similar to GR90 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 (edited) Seems like a performance tire. Comfort and noise similar to GR90 ? CSC5 looks like this. Thread pattern looks pretty boring if you ask me, but I don't go for such premium tyres. Kumhos are good enough for me.

VellfireS 4th Gear February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 Seems like a performance tire. Comfort and noise similar to GR90 ? It's more to the quiet side.. Come on bro.. It's the stock tyres for 5ers and E Class.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kumhos are good enough for me. Which Kumho would you recommend ? My orginals were Kumho KH31 but size 16 and after I change to 17, I used GR90. The Kumho was okay to me too. Which current Kumho is similar to the GR90 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beehive3783 Turbocharged February 1, 2013 Share February 1, 2013 I never tried Kumho before.. Is it good boss? You using the KU31? I used KU31 (215/45R17) before on my wife's car. Pretty good considering the price. Noise is subjective to individual so no comments about that. But it's not loud like helicopter la Now my car is on Kumho KH17 (215/45R17). Came stock with the car so the thread pattern is boring. Nothing to complain about. Pretty decent grip. Noise level is slightly high since they have travelled 20+K km. But still not like helicopter la Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a few S-Class still using them.. got one time I saw one guy changing to another set of CSC2.. Probably old stock boss. CSC2 is no longer listed on Conti's website. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
