Dunlop Direzza

[Cyberet]

could anyone provide comments on these 5 tires? planning on next change.. mind was pretty set on precedas actually, but some commented its slippery on the wet so it made me look at my choices again..

 

i'm looking for quieter tires but performance as main factor.

michelin preceda

silent sports tyre, relatively quiet till about 25k, good grip in straightline and cornering in dry, be careful in wet cornering at high speed

 

 

dunlop direzza dz101

very good wet and dry grip, highly rated in tyre tests overseas even over its other buddy sp sport maxx, to me..feels better than es100 and the other 3 options below

 

yokohama c-drive

dun bother

 

pirelli dragon

pirelli overpriced in sg, dz101 , preceda, contipremium , gr80 all perform better, and cheaper

 

bridgestone G3

mixed bundle of reviews on this, its neither a gr80 or a s-03...jack of all trades but master of none...get the gr80 over this

 

=================================

 

of the lot u listed, consider the preceda, dz101, then throw in gr80

 

if u want the ultimate wet/dry, get dz101, next step down is preceda but lose in wet a bit , gr80 is good enuff for normal wet/dry, no racing stunts like ahbengs driving.

[Cyberet]

ahhh, ok, thanks for the detailed reviews.

is dz101 noise level much higher than preceda?

 

thanks

[Furrynadz]

below 20k doubt much difference

after that..by right dz101 should be a little noisier cos of the groove design

 

anyway the rating for preceda and dz101 are 280/aa/a and 300/aa/a respectively

[Sevenz]

Wet and dry grip is good. Noise also ok. But wear rate a bit higher than normal

[Linus]

if u can tahan BFG road noise..u sure can tahan G3

 

is noisy but is quite on wet and dry..my next tire will be Goodyear F1

BFG consider noisy ? pretty ok to me. how much is F1 per pc ?

 

BFG is good in dry, so so in wet. how u compare G3 vs BFG, since u have used both b4 ?

[Linus]

paiseh, no experience in using any of the 5.

[Mercur1al]

G3 > BFG.

 

No fight at all.

[Linus]

okey. u used both b4 ?

[Mercur1al]

Yup, was using G3 for my old sunny, currently using BFG for the new sunny.

 

Never skidded or lost traction with the G3 even in rainy days. With my BFG currently, i've experienced my rear 2 tyres totally losing traction even in dry days. And in rainy days, car feels as if its on skating shoes.

[Maddriver]

i find tat G3 is noiser than BFG..dun know bcos i m using 16inch for G3 and 15inch for BFG..but in terms of dry i find both abt the same but for wet,G3 is better than BFG bro, BFG still worth the bucks

 

Goodyear should be abt the same price as G3

[Furrynadz]

g3 noisier due to its block design, but grip better cos bfg no silica

[Seanboi]

mroe den enough for a stock car.

To further utilise e tires gotta lower car, stiffen suspension and change brake system

[Seanboi]
