Dtitan 1st Gear January 21, 2010 Share January 21, 2010 Robo is rite. It either comfort or performance... I prefer comfort & quiet tyre.. Jus go slow when road is wet.. Anyway even with performance tyre, its always good to go slown on wet road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanblee 1st Gear January 21, 2010 Share January 21, 2010 that why i only though of getting tires from bridgestone, michelin and conti cos i believe what we pay is what we get...correct me if i'm wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo 2nd Gear January 21, 2010 Share January 21, 2010 that why i only though of getting tires from bridgestone, michelin and conti cos i believe what we pay is what we get...correct me if i'm wrong it doesnt mean that the more u pay = better. there are certain models of these bigger names that simply cant make it. however there are brands like, goodyear, hankook, kumho etc that has models that many swear by. u might wanna research more in the forum. there are a good number of tyres with very gd feedbacks from users. suggest u search, read den decide. its all abt wad u want and need + how much u willing to pay.

Hanblee 1st Gear January 21, 2010 Share January 21, 2010 thx for the advises. i hav to admit sometimes, man are greedy,haha...wanted to hav best of both world. As for replacing tires wasn't as common task when compare to regular servicing, so wish to get a good set of tire and enjoy my ride. dun want to regret later due to noise or skip caused by the tires. btw, the side door placard states 185/60/15, kind of constraint for me when deciding on tires...i don't want to create any reading error on the speedo n odometer from getting bigger or smaller set of tires. how u guys out there decide when changing tires. thx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dtitan 1st Gear January 21, 2010 Share January 21, 2010 yap, read this clip. Thats why will consider GR90 when changing for car the coming round. Experience GR80 before this tyre...quiet & durable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alechi 2nd Gear January 21, 2010 Share January 21, 2010 correct ... To TS: u either get good comfort or good performance if u want best of both worlds, u will end up with average comfort tire with average performance There no such thing as quiet and performance. unless u willing to pay for conti, michelin pirelli. even so, there is NO such thing as best of both world Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
