Good alternative to GR90 ?

[Mikelcy1963]

Time to change tires. Am using BS GR90 215/50/17 on a saloon. Happy with it so far but wanted to hear opinions

Prefer comfort and quietness. Safety is also important (of course) but I don't need performance tires on a sedate saloon.

 

Anything out there now better than the GR90 based on the above requirements ? Or should I stick with GR90 ?

 

Thanks

How hard do you drive your car?

I don't drive hard at all. But I like the tires to have stopping ability equal to the GR90. Good enough.

Seems like a performance tire. Comfort and noise similar to GR90 ?

CSC5 looks like this. Thread pattern looks pretty boring if you ask me, but I don't go for such premium tyres. Kumhos are good enough for me.

How many kilometres have your GR90 clocked?

Me too looking around to change and have short listed GR90 and XM2.

Which Kumho would you recommend ? My orginals were Kumho KH31 but size 16 and after I change to 17, I used GR90.

The Kumho was okay to me too. Which current Kumho is similar to the GR90 ?

I used KU31 (215/45R17) before on my wife's car. Pretty good considering the price. Noise is subjective to individual so no comments about that. But it's not loud like helicopter la

 

Now my car is on Kumho KH17 (215/45R17). Came stock with the car so the thread pattern is boring. Nothing to complain about. Pretty decent grip. Noise level is slightly high since they have travelled 20+K km. But still not like helicopter la

Probably old stock boss. CSC2 is no longer listed on Conti's website.
