I was on Precedas before I changed to Goodyear Eagle F1s. Precedas are more quiet than F1s. Grip would be in F1's favour. Price wise.. Precedas - $105, F1s - $80..

dunno almost put them on 2 weeks ago, but decided to try the G-force sport. A bit lacking in the smaller profiles but are brilliant in the 195/60R15 size. Almost as good as the ES100's. I have had not wet or dry traction issues and (as i chucked them at the front) I seem to be able to get more oversteer earlier.

 

anyway the ES100's are still listed in yoko's catalogue

[Elfenstar]

Nah... no need lah... RE010 semi's are there for grip mah

[Katou]

Wet n dry?

 

But if he's gg for those sporty tires does the tires look sporty? hehe..

[AngelEye]

okie... i quite like ES actually, but recently took a dive to try other brand of tyres.. exploring...

[Elfenstar]

V. sporty looking , V grippy, but also quite loud and will wear v.quick. They are semi-slicks afterall...

[Elfenstar]

Shortlist in your sizes... I know you wnat performance, but you want comfort (from your sidewall ques) so the comfy tires with good performance are in the list. Don't expect much comfort out of the performance tires though

 

55's

-BF Goodrich Sport

-Bridgestone G3

-Bridgestone RE010

-Dunlop SP9000

-Dunlop LM901

-Yokohama A Drive

-Yokohama C Drive

-Yokohama AVS ES100

 

60's

-BF Goodrich Sport

-Bridgestone G3

-Yokohama C drives

-Yokohama AVS ES100

[Elfenstar]

same lah... but i dun have much choices leh coz of my 195 (f) nad 205 ® /60R15 profile.

[Aimnfire]

how about pirelli dragon?

[Elfenstar]

they're comfort tires with performance... unfortunately the performance is the same as some more comfy tires (e.g. A drives) so i didn't put them in the list.

 

Unless you talking abt the m/cycle pirelli dragons then they are

thats why i trust pirelli due to riding bike last time

the performance was superb compare to bridgestone battalax

so i tot the compound for car tyre should be about the same

[AngelEye]

mine more choice, 195/50/15 or 195/55/15 plenty of choice~

[Elfenstar]

Pirellis performance range (p-zero's) for cars are really good. Unfortunately their sizes are mostly for larger diameter wheels. Their comfy tires arent as comfy for the same level of performance as other brands though i have to admit, they do last longer. Also for long distance touring i still prefer them over most other tires as they seem more puncture resistant.

195/50R15... imho best size for a car thats up to the size of a civic.... also a huge variety of choices of tires without them getting to exp. next would be XXX/50(or 55)R16 for cars like the camry etc.
