Firestone SZ50 EP size 195/60/15

 

Have anyone try this tyre before?

How the performance and Noise level?

I used the 15" SZ50 before (not exact profile i think)

 

Noise can't comment much coz my previous ride doesn't really have good sound insulation. But performance wise, it's pretty good as a level A (I think) tyre. Wear rate is good as well.

 

I think it's under-rated because of "that incident" in US which I think was only on the SUV tyres. If you can get past that prejudice, it's a pretty decent tyre . Just like what Korean cars used to be, but now

 

I believe the EP is from Japan? There's a thai made one which is cheaper.

 

How much is it?

The EP make from Thailand too.

They quoted me $95 each.

$95? quite cheap right?

 

not too sure about the pricing actually. i'm sure they do have the jap made one.. you called the local distributor to check? Binter or something right?

 

it's a pretty decent tyre... mine most certainly didn't burst or something
