Continental PremiumContact 2 versus Michelin Pilot Preceda

[Rickyokc]

i think its obvious as treadwear fr TR1 is 280 , i think u should compare TR1 with Ventus Sport K104

Just to correct all people here, michelin tire compound formulae is all downloaded directly from HQ (in France). Hence, no matter where the tires are make, it is using the exact same mixture. Also, PP2 are also manufacture in Japan. I believe if you can find 18" and above PP2, they are from japan.

after the research, my opinion are

 

1) cpc2 better than pp1

 

2) pp2 from japan is slightly better than cpc2 (just abit pricy)...

 

3) cpc2 better than thai pp2

 

pp2 (jap) > cpc2 (europe) > pp2 (thai) > pp1

 

 

bt i think pp2 only 17 above come from japan...

[Ewicong]

price

 

pp1 > pp2 (thai) > cpc2 (europe) > pp2 (jap)

 

totally reverse.... hahaha......

The rubber compound might b the same but it cud b that the Europe tyre might have silica compound whereas the Thai product won't have it.

 

Silica tyres r far superior in grip (wet/dry) to those without but cost is also higher.

 

I don't think many day to day tyres sold here come with the silica compound.

cpc2 (eu) > pp2 (jap)> cpc (eu) > pp2(thai)/pp(thai)

[Ewicong]

cpc2 has a softer sidewall than pp2...

 

think pp2 slightly better....

 

in term of pricing, can consider sport maxx.....

[David325]

Hmm you might be write.. but i'm currently working there and i do see that both thailand, japan and china plants are all running using the same process and mixture.. so if there is silica compound... all shuold have it.. let me check again

[T1000]

i was quoted $145/pc for cpc2, is this a reasonable price?

[Furrynadz]

no idea

cos u never give size

if its 15inch its abt there

[T1000]

oops...195/50/r15 is the size...

[Furrynadz]
