Friedpiggy 2nd Gear May 10, 2017 Share May 10, 2017 Not sure about Yoko cos my preferred choice has been Bridgestone for quite awhile ... GR80, GR90, RE001, RE002 etc. I find Bridgestones lasting and offer good feedback. Another tyre shop I went to for Bridgestone near AMK would be Eng Wah Tyre at Toa Payoh. Almost everyone saying GR100 better than primacy 3 but I wonder why GR100 like not too many dealers want to bring in?. All promoting Yoko AE50 and Michelin Primacy 3. Called Eng Wah, he also don't have stock. Anyway the only GR100 i saw on SGcarmart is from Yap bros, seems to be a used ones. Ask if they have stock and the price, they ask me to see myself in SGcarmart? ... . Business too good to entertain me probably... Anyway they lose a customer, I'll probably go with Eng Wah for Primacy 3. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcostan 4th Gear May 10, 2017 Share May 10, 2017 Sorry to hijack this thread... been looking for a new set of tyres and heard that primacy 3 has really good grip...might be getting it soon I am using primacy 3ST, it is a quiet tyre, since I am a slow driver so cannot comment the grip. Take note in Asia all the agent stock is named Primacy 3ST made in Thailand and if you get Primacy 3 it should be PI stock from Europe. I brought my 18" (235/50x18) in JB (agent stock) price at RM575 per pc. While in Singapore the cheapest I can get is S$260. I did use GR90 (old model) before, my view both are same same.

RH1667 Hypersonic May 10, 2017 Share May 10, 2017 Had change to GR100 and using it for almost 2 weeks. Called dealer to check price, they ordered and went down next day . Ride have been less noisy and less bumpy. But have to clarify that I am driving a Ah pek B&B car, so cannot comment about sharp cornering grip or performance. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic May 10, 2017 Share May 10, 2017 (edited) My Primacy 3 ST used for 33k now, grip is still very good and remain very quiet. The tyre thread look still more than half. I am using 235/50/18. Edited May 10, 2017 by Tohto 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think is about profit margin...you can call south east to check on GR100. they are the Bridgestone select store, good service but not the cheapest.

Does bridgestone restrict selling price? anyway doesnt matter i just changed to Primacy 3 st. Dont feel any obvious difference in quietness since i only changed the front 2 which are balding. Maybe main noise contributor is from the rear. The handling feels the same. My rear are goodyear excellence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rear are goodyear excellence. Did you rotate the tyre regularly? If this is done, the tyre wear should be almost similar. By just changing only 2 front tyre, you will never get the tyre of same wear rate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By just changing only 2 front tyre, you will never get the tyre of same wear rate. No idea, It's from a used car that i recently bought. The rear tyres were very new and the front was bald at the sides. Don't know why the previous owner did not change the front together. Thought that it would be a waste to switch out the rear since they are so new. Anyway i also don't rotate tyres. Have been doing that for the past car ownership. I just switch all 4 out when they start to get noisy which is way before they reach the replacement depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using 235/50/18. Don't mean anything unless you can provide a comparison with your previous tyres. Everyone has different driving style. My Nexen tyres travelled 35k and tyre thread also looks good, about 1/3 of 10c coin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my brother driving the same car with the factory tyre is a lot more noisy and less grip. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
