Just switched to these 2 weeks ago. Happy with them, given the wet weather.

 

Now to monitor the FC.

Bro, how much you paid and what's the size of the tyre for your ride?

i'm driving 08 Altis 1.6 stock size.

 

i drive same car.

the stock tyre is BS ER-300 which i think is good enough. But i'm on BS GR90 now. bit pricey but the wet performance for normal driving is good for me. i will probably change back to the same tyre or try CPC-5. Almost 40k km.

CPC5 is in production, and is one of the newest line-up of tyres from Conti

Not to be mistaken with the older model CPC-2, which is also still producing and available in the market.

Does soft tire wall equates to more comfort? What are those tires that have soft wall? Just changed my oddyssey to falken 522 and it does have a soft wall and I really like the comfortable ride although it does have lots of negative reviews.

 

 

Same queries here... soft sidewall better to absorb bumps? Driving a small hatch which I find really bumpy... so thinking for more comfort tyres...

 

Ku31 , xm2 ,ps3... shortlist

Yes, soft sidewall has that effect. I'm using Goodyear Efficient Grip, good grip and road noise is very minimal. But if engine noise is loud, it will not reduce the noise.

^PS3 is very noisy. so you know if noise is a problem to you. i have not use good Year before though.

[CamholicX]

wont how quiet is this tyre compare to GR90

[KelvinAng_164458]

Comfort and performance tires will never come together. XM2 is comfort tires, and I has being using for more than 3 years. Value for money, and last longer as well..

[0wnage10]

using xm2 205/55/R16... not bad very durable... abit noisy other than that is quite good
