If GR-80 is available for your size, suggest you go for it (from the links below, GR-80 doesn't have the size you want...no 14 inches). GR-80 is made in Japan whereas AR10 is made in thailand or indonesia, if you are particular abt country of manufacture.

 

GR-80 also have more tire technology See here:

doesnt matter the rolling diameter is the same.

 

185/60/14 is better.steering all these will be more precise. the 175/65/14 that BM gives is not the prefered size. believe u driving a vios.

What about Nitrogen gas? Which shop provided the service? ( North side )

I know some shop dont have GR80, only got AR10.

[Adamvios]

Yes bro, do u pump Nitrogen gas?

[Fcw75]

If it's normal driving, frankly normal air is good enuff. The only benefit I can think of is don't need to pump tyres so often, that's all.

 

I used to pump nitrogen too then after a while, can't be bothered liao. Just use the compressed air from my factory to pump.

 

They don't have GR80 bcoz it's not available mah. Go for AR10 lor then feedback to me coz I thinking of changing to it too.

[Adamvios]

Wat tyres you using now ?

[Robo]

yes. its said to be cooler and a lighter gas. and best is dont have to keep pumping your tire.

 

just go back and find them once in 2months.

[Adamvios]

How much they charge ? Where is the shop ?

[Fcw75]

I using Bridgestone Grid III now.

[Mcf777]

i changed to AR10 last week.

S$75 per piece. 185 X 65 X 14. Thailand made.

Almost the same as GR80. Very quiet

[Fcw75]

Hey, that's cheap. I am using that size too. Can I know where u change bro? Thanks!

[Tkseah]

Change to 185/60/R14 better.. GR80 is much better than NCT5.

 

U can see from the url below that AR10 is positioned below GR80.. but unfortunately GR80 like no more in productino liao.

[Furrynadz]

probably the jewellery shop

 

i got abt that price too

[Fcw75]

No wonder they said the jewellery shop is cheap. Each tyre is $10 cheaper than LS.

[Furrynadz]

honestly comes with a price, not for fussy buyers

 

many remarks on their handling of rims and vehicles though

[Adamvios]

How deep is the thread line for AR10 & GR80? Do u know ?
