Turbobrick Neutral Newbie May 21, 2002 Share May 21, 2002 Actually the owner is Harry, the old dude. The young fella is his son and helping or learning the ropes to take over I bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hensony Clutched August 22, 2005 Share August 22, 2005 My goodness! My last post in this thread is more than 3 years ago. If I'm not mistaken, those A300 tyres were pre-maturely replaced when one of them got punctured beyond patching. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weswes Neutral Newbie August 23, 2005 Share August 23, 2005 I was told that the new DNA db is the replacement to the Aspec db. Any advise on this new tyre? How does it compare to C.Drive (the replacement to the A539)? Thansk. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkotody Neutral Newbie August 24, 2005 Share August 24, 2005 Yes am using the new Aspect db.Model is called 501.So far clocked 1.6K only.Still very quiet but understand that it's wet performance is improved as a result of poor wet performance feedback for 500.Wanted to fit the C Drive but tyre shop guy told me it's noisier than the Aspect db series.

Weswes Neutral Newbie August 24, 2005 Share August 24, 2005 The model would be ES501 right? How's the performance in the wet. I am concern about safely, and do not push the tyres to the max. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkotody Neutral Newbie August 25, 2005 Share August 25, 2005 Yes it's 501.Not sure if it's ES tho.Haven't had a chance to try out in the wet yet but think it's ok coz I'm an easy driver as well who doesn't take things to the limit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear August 27, 2005 Share August 27, 2005 Yes am using the new Aspect db.Model is called 501.So far clocked 1.6K only.Still very quiet but understand that it's wet performance is improved as a result of poor wet performance feedback for 500.Wanted to fit the C Drive but tyre shop guy told me it's noisier than the Aspect db series. You using Yokohama DNA dB? Where did you bought it and how much? From the website, it seems that its much better that Aspec dB in terms of quietness, tire life and wet performance. http://www.yokohamatire.jp/yrc/japan/tire/...dna/dna_db.html [inline pic_db_02.gif] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gkotody Neutral Newbie August 28, 2005 Share August 28, 2005 Got it at Southeast Tyre.$150 for 205/55/16. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear August 28, 2005 Share August 28, 2005 Thanks, will check it out. Last week called up Leong Seng and they recommended DNA dB for quiet and comfortable tyres, and quoted me $95/pc for 195/50/R15 size. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elantrahatch Neutral Newbie August 28, 2005 Share August 28, 2005 My elantra is running on Yokohama Aspec DB A500. It doesn't grip well (i am sure many know that) but the noise level is superb. Have been running it for around 40K but still quiet. I am comparing the A500 with my Matrix's BF Goodrich in terms of sound level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus 3rd Gear August 28, 2005 Share August 28, 2005 I'm also currently using Aspec dB, but recently noticed that ride comfort reduced a bit and somewhat a bit noisy at certain road surface. I got mine 2nd hand, so not sure the total mileage on this set...... Not much problem with grip though, cos I don't really drive fast. Maybe I should get DNA dB once I wear out my current set?

Firstcall Clutched August 28, 2005 Share August 28, 2005 I wonder if anybody tried Yoko C.Drive? I wonder if this has a good balance of quietness, comfort and performance as it claims.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggable Clutched August 28, 2005 Share August 28, 2005 Any idea what are the sizes and profiles available? Huggable will be changing tyres in a month's time, thinking of trying it out. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
