Typhoonz 4th Gear July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 Will be changing my tyres soon (2 year plus) and currently running on PS3s (205/55/16). Been looking at the P7 and lowest price is $145 each. At the same time doing my home work on the new GR-100 which is $170 each. Anyone on P7s and GR-100s would like to give their reviews? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrynadz 5th Gear July 31, 2014 Share July 31, 2014 used p7c b4 in 17 and 18 inch sizes dry : v good, its a premium touring tyre segment wet : v good , wet up to 120 and standing water no aquaplane, dont expect ps3/f1a2 standard noise / comfort : excellent, its really quiet , absorbs bumps well too comparing with ps3, ps3 wins slightly on dry/wet braking, but noise is a lot quieter than ps3...ps3 is a noisy piece of sh1t at 170 a piece for gr100, very overpriced if u want maintain ur current grip levels, go back ps3, if u want better comfort/noise by a long mile , try the p7c Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am currently on CPC 2 and I find it very bumpy. I am not sure if its the tyres or absorber. Mostly likely will change tyres in Dec. I have shortlisted two. PS3 and P7c. both prices almost same. You mentioned P7c absorb bumps well? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much superior to my previous Tires the bridgestone Turanza ER300 in terms of noise (vey quiet), comfort and on wet surfaces perform damn well (veru good grip). I dont know about the part on bumps. But if i were to choose tires i will go for the P7. Do note that some brigdestone tires are made in thailand and some Pirelli types are made outside of europe. So must check the origin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only just found out about the GR-100 while I was comparing the P7 with the EfficientGrip... Not much reviews yet even on Tyrereviews so it's all the adverts from BS... Yes my PS3s are now rather noisy and made worse on roads that needs immediate resurfacing... The shop I'm asking their stock is late 2013 or early 2014 so still ok right? You driving a VW now? Passat? Same here, changing tires soon. Past tires are GR90 and CSC5. Prefer comfort. quiet and grippy tires. Any comments. Thanks! You can try the PS3s... All round tyre... I would go back for another set but backside itchy so want to try other brands... Maybe watch too much F1 so Pirelli is always in my head...

My last set was the LS2000 Hybrid II which was quite ok then went don't hill after 20K... Noisy as hell considering the thread pattern... Also lots of people saying GY tyres are don't last very long... Even wanted to go 17 inch but save the money for something else... So it's P7s for me next week...

I'm intending to get PS3 initially. But now p7c also in my shortlist. So now comparing and asking ard. Few of my friends all on PS3. I can get feedback from them. None of my friends on Pirelli.

I can get feedback from them. None of my friends on Pirelli. Pirelli is not very common unless the car came with it... I'm on PS3s would like to try other tyres... So far my PS3s have served me well for the past 40,000KM or so... Very good on wets (no incidents so far) but will get noisy after 40,000KM (any tyre would)... I don't cheong corners so won't know how to give you feedback on that... Overall its not that cheap but neither is it very costly... I feel that it's a good balance... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
