C Drive vs Contipremium contact

[Elfenstar]

Ok, the time for putting on new tyres is coming close.

 

In my size of 185/60R14, these would be my top 2 choices. They're both all rounders which is what i'm looking at now. The both are just above the aud$120 mark each.

 

On a scale of 10, 3 pts for wet grip, 2 pts for dry grip, 2 pts for aquaplanning, 2 pts for comfort and 1 pt for noise.

 

Between these 2, from your experiences which would be a better buy and why.

cpc is old design but proven, so much that got kumho clones, hankook clones, matador clones, even cdrive is a somewhat cpc clone..

[YellowFlash]

scale of 10, 1 being the best and 10 being the lousiest?

[Elfenstar]

no lah... just split the points for different aspects up totalling 10 pts altogether.

[Elantrahatch]

personally, i will go for CPC..

Wa you rim 14inch and you choos so good tyres

[Elfenstar]

why not?

[Frozebite]

Beacuse the tyre will cost more than the rim itself

[Elfenstar]

and the value of your life is less than that of your wheels perhaps??

[Frozebite]

Most of the guys here change to larger rima and then change to these tyres

[Elfenstar]

Unfortunately i don't value my life by the price ratio of my wheels to tyres. I doubt many of the guys here do either.

 

While we're at it, how are the school holidays?

Bro i am working already , you think that i still a kid ah

48 posts from the time you signed on this evening till now??? you don't have to answer every post you know... Take it easy coz a lot of us here do not like one liner replies.

 

And while we're on tyres, i don't guage tyres by price, i choose them by quality as they are the only things that keep my car in contact with the road. They affect everything from handling to grip to stopping. For example i would choose the sumitomo HTR200 over the falken ZE326's anyday as although theire abt 75% of the price, they outperform the 326 in every way.

Wa you rim 14inch and you choos so good tyres

 

for 14inchers

cpc is the ultimate choice already

comfort, grip, handling, wet handling, braking, everything is very good-excellent in rating

 

even outperforms es100, eagle f1 (gs-d2 version)

[Frozebite]

Is it, i don't know that

[Furrynadz]

dry braking on par with my dz101 now

14 vs 15inch

[Elfenstar]

Wah why you never say so earlier Heng I'm going to change tyres on tues

 

Are you serious that the CPC2's outperform the DZ101 and ES100's in grip?? The ES100 outperforms the C Drives by a mile.... and they also were on par with the G3's in the dry and outperformed them in the wet...

 

How's the wet grip on the CPC2's?

Any idea what their pricing is like in 185/60R14 in sg?

 

They'll be costing me ard aud $130 here. roughly the same price as the G3's, G-force sport, C Drives and pirelli dragons. i will not hesitate to get them on tues if they're as good as you say.
