Stock 15" Toyo tyres for GR80, is it worth?

[Tjkbeluga]

Hi Bros,

 

Need advise... I fellow friend forumer wants to scrap the car soon and has 18k km 15" GR80 tyres. Mine is still 2.5K km stock 15" Toyo tyres. Do you think it's worth swapping with his tyres?

 

Thanks

[Latioboy]

I think it's fairly alright

[Furrynadz]

18k?

 

suah

[Tyreboy]

of course not....assuming 18k meaning he has went thru 1 round of rotate and balance and the 2nd round is upcoming soon whereas yours not even 1st round. As the GR80 km usage is longer than your toyo, you will hear the tyre noise soon due to thread wear. stick to toyo unless your stock tyre does not gives good road handling and braking

[Linusloh]

Urs is still so new, whilst 18k is pretty worn already lah.

Better keep ur stock tyres.

[Tjkbeluga]

OK, thanks for the advice guys...

[Garlic]

Not worth it at all.

any reason why you want it so badly?

If not , forget it .

[Tjkbeluga]

Nah... Not that I want it badly... Just that since there was an offer and I'm not sure if it's worth it so I ask fellow bros here...

[Best_ctzn]

Considering a set of new tyre can typically last 40,000km or 2 yrs. For this tyre that already run for 18,000km, would have almost halve its lifespan gone. So you have to deduct whatever cost of this GR80 price when new by half. And you are left with the second halve of lifespan which will be noisier and performing not so well with some degree of rubber hardening. And not forget the $50 top-up. Sorry for being very frank, even if swap free, I also will not consider.

please do not save of tyres.

 

They are the only contact between the car and the road .At most the size of your palm only.

 

So save that $50 for the BEST tyres you can buy when time comes , please.

No...even if it is almost the same KM....T1R is good in wet and corner and no aqua -plane when go thru puddle of water.....think about it...mine is 16"

[Contax]

Latio uses T1R as stock tyres ?

[Garlic]

I think its Toyo but not T1R.
