First day with my brand new Bridgestone GR90

[Scenic98]

going to change my re050 to gr90 this afternoon. my size is 225/45/17 and 245/45/17. staggarged tyres....prob u can guess my ride. i am more of a confort bias driver. changing at soh

[Eugn86]

Had GR90s fitted on the Merc S500... much better than the previous sets of Michelin Primacy. The steering feel improved noticeably too.

Just got my new GR90 a few week ago...now already done 1,000 km...

 

Compare with my stock A460... the tire is really more quite but handling wise... maybe due to my car.. dont really feel the diff from my previous A460...

 

accelaration one.. think was abit slower response....

I dun think changing tyres with the same profile can improve the handling..

[Doktorgigi]

@amazon777: I was saying that only noise is lacking from these tyres...

 

btw what sort of tyre pressure are ppl using? I've got mine at 235 or 240. Heavy car (odyssey )and usually quite loaded with kids etc. Comments?

I dun think changing tyres with the same profile can improve the handling..

 

Can actually. This is because of the difference in tyre compound. And the difference in handling can be quite big.

 

Its just like those racing cars running on harder and softer compounds. A change to higher grip softer tyres (even though profile is exactly the same) reduces lap times.

haha.. same here, can't seem to find 195/60/r15 with available stock for GR90... unless willing to get cut at expensive big supermart kind of shops..

anyone can shed some light on where can i get these? quoted ard S$130 but no stock at most of the more popular shops around..

am thinking if should stick with AR10 instead or try LS2000 hybrid 2.. cos current tyres are coming close to 60k.. and i travel NS highway every other month..

any comments?

[Scaglietti]

I saw 1 set at #01-01 AMK Autopoint. Maybe you can call them to check: 64835662.

[Kelpsh]

friend bought his at this price this spec too and comes with free life time rotation. too bad the price is too high for my spec and need to pre order.

[Sgmotorsport]

is't true??i haven't try it b4..

[Kelpsh]

Just got the GR90 last week. Din't get frm 0101 Autopoint cos find the price too high for my liking.

Previous tires used Yoko DNA DB n BS AR10..

This is much better than the previous 2 esp on tire noise and comfort. Initial feel on grip seems solid too, but yet to test - no chance for sweeping highway exits, heavy rain or NS highway driving so far..

[AhDU]

Care to share where you get your 195/60/r15 GR90... How much? Thanks in advance bro.

[Kelpsh]

Got it for 130 before gst at H-tyre...

Free N2 for tyre lifespan n rotation at 10k..

Hi people,

 

I managed to secure a set of GR90 this morning and had it replaced during lunch time.

 

Am driving a 2003 Hipporolla and was using GR80 for the past 3 yrs ..Quoted $130 per pc for 195/60/R15 for the GR90s

 

1st feel after installation : Steering feels "lighter" and had switched off the radio to observe the difference while on the journey.

 

Travelled from Bt batok to Shenton way covering approx. 18 km and noticed a big difference in "quiet-ness" as I drove pass "old" tarmac. ( prolly due to new tyres)

 

Will continue to monitor after 100KM, 200KM and so on.

hi Fam,

The Company is Hock Thye Seng, contact person is Thomas.

Telephone is 65602716.

 

Please call 1st before going down, think they need to indent for you. If you call in the morning, maybe they can change it for you in the late afternoon, else will be the next day.

 

Hope the info helps.

My Review:

Hi, rang up thomas and realised he got ready stock for the GR90, have called up a few shops to ask bout tat tyre but seems like this is the only one carry that tyre with that size. So reserve the tyres with Thomas and pop by Hock Thye Seng to grab the GR90.

Though i stay in bukit batok, i got difficulties finding the place as it is only one way and the building number is not properly displayed. Anyway, i managed to find it after turing 2 rounds couple with asking the security guards of nearby buildings.

I would say Thomas is a very approachable person, as i am not very sure about the GR90 performance, i enquire with him and he take this time to explain to me the tyre thread, the comparison between my F1 and the GR90, the grooves that allows tracion, water dispersion, comfort, etc.

I din really ask bout the price of the other tyre that he is selling, and i cannot determined whether his price is good in the market as all the other shops i called dun wanna give me a quote and jus turn me down by saying no stock. But i would say tat his service is really good and he really bother to listen and explain things to you. A very friendly and approachable person i would say.

I jus wanna share my good experience with the tyre shop, i am also those cheapo kind who would call up a few shops to compare prices before deciding which one to go to, have tried P.Heng before but was quite turn off by the service thought the price is really cheap. I would say Thomas really make my day and i feel it is money well spent.

Will update on the review of the tyre after trying it out. Thanks to -------- for the intro :)
