The price for 195/60R15 is similiar to Michelin Primacy LC. Might consider GR90 when my current set wears out. Would you care to PM me which shop quoted you that price?

=============

 

Looking at the prices mentioned, it seems that GR90 is more ex than PP2 even?

 

Where is the logic?

 

If prefer comfort & good grip & lasting, can get MXV8 better.

I'd guess some people would pay a premium to have a quiet and comfortable tyre which have a reasonable performance in wet/dry, and I hope GR90 is one such tyre. PP2 is not well known for quiet nor comfy, its more towards grip. Basically they are different category tyre.

 

MXV8 is phasing out, the succesor is Primacy LC.

Ya, if willing to pay for such price, we can other tyre instead. Unless this is the best of the best tyre

I think its more that some pple like to have the latest models & willing to pay more for that.

 

I prefer to buy those that has been tried & tested & proven only. Maybe thats why I can save $$$ by not wanting the latest fad.

 

Primacy LC. U have any idea if they come in 205/50/16 or 195/55/16 & the price?

If the models keep changing it only means that the previous model not so good & new model is supposed to have addressed the shortfalls of the old model.

 

I prefer those older proven models which dont keep changing so quickly.

 

Even if the GR90 is good, I doubt it is better than equivlent price range from Michilen etc.

A quick search on Michelin Singapore website results is negative.

 

For size 195/55R16, there is Primacy HP, more towards sporty performance.

According the the brochure of the GR90 i took from Bridgestone and tests by magazines, the GR90 is superior to the GR80 in all counts (dry/wet handling, braking distance, noise, wear rate, rolling resistance etc) and the feedback were all positive. On top of that, the GR90 is asymmetrical in design. The GR80 was already very popular and more highly regarded than the rest of its competitors from Yokohama and Michelin already. The GR90 will probably reinforce that. It's expensive now because it is still new and there is high demand.

Hi, did the brochure mentions the available size of GR90? if so could you please check if 205/50/17 size is available?

 

Thanks.
