Autobacs has ready stocks for that size the last time I've checked. I think its about $140-$150/pc? Can't exactly remember... But I quietly went to buy Toyo Teo Plus instead.. hur ... hur hur hur.

How is the noise level and wet grip?... May consider this if can't get GR90.. still waiting for stocks.. :P or Michelin Primacy LC.. *shrugs* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krado Clutched June 7, 2010 Share June 7, 2010 Hey bro, btw how did you find the Toyo Teo Plus tires? How is the noise level and wet grip?... May consider this if can't get GR90.. still waiting for stocks.. :P or Michelin Primacy LC.. *shrugs* Ok, first and foremost, note that I am running on 195/60R15 size. Secondly, I don't expect them to be hardcore track tires. he good thing is that they are relatively quiet, but not as silent as the Yoko dB ES. On my current ride with almost no noise insulation (at 100km/h, the engine at 3K overwhelms the tires which are not so apparent). The sidewalls of these new tires are rather soft. At 210kpa, compared to the previous GR80 I had, the Teo plus felt a lot more sloppy in spirited cornering compared to the stiffer GR80. Increasing the psi to 220kPa helped to improve the handling somewhat with a tauter feel, I tried once to go up to 230kPa but the car's handling braking got worse, skidding + breaking away quicker. In the end I settled for 220kPa for the best compromise between fuel efficiency ( at 230kPa, the car seemed to gain speed very easily) and handling. One thing that I noticed is that impact when the thread hits water is much more noticeable than on the GR80, probably because of it's asymmetric thread pattern? I'm not a tire expert, just sharing my experience so far on these tires. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturtles 6th Gear June 9, 2010 Share June 9, 2010 I have recently installed 4 hankook v12 as s1 do not have my size, and surprisingly, its much better than expectation. Quiet and comfortable, grip is fair too. Handling is average due to the soft walls. Then again, how many can score empirically handling characteristics. Highly recommended at the gr80 range Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justwe Neutral Newbie June 10, 2010 Share June 10, 2010 friend of mine used gr80 and now to gr90. he comment it is a worth buying tyres. comfy and gd tyre. when i have the budget will go for that too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelpsh 1st Gear June 14, 2010 Share June 14, 2010 Bought GR90.. Good comfy set of tires.. and it's made in Japan... Not sure about Michelin Primacy LC read that it's from Thailand... Comparing prices in M'sia for both tyres - GR90 retails for more, whereas Primacy LC retails for significantly lesser there.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
