CN7 gurus,

Any recommendation for a tyre shop / workshop that is super good with CN7 for upgrading the whole set of 16" rims + tyres and to the 17" one?

Can PM me if it's allowed here.

Anyway folks, 

 

My budget is below $150 per tyre. 

 

CN7 here and with the stock factory 16" and I like quiet and less bumpy drive. 

 

I was thinking of upgrading to 17" for the same or better quiet and less bumpy drive. 

 

Any tyre to recommend? Again, quiet and less bumpy drive are the priority to me, not chiong drive as I don't drive very very fast and I keep at 80kmph max the most even on highways.

Folks, 

Between Yokohama V552 and GiTi Sport S2 for my CN7 tyres renewal. 

 

Which one offers the most comfy (less bumpy) for normal city drive, home to work and via verses

IMHO.
The less performance one will offer you that.   What size are you looking at ?

The same, 205/55/16. 

I scrapped the idea of upgrading to 17".

 

I want to renew the tyres before my next 6 months/mileage Komoco services on the 26th September.

Can't seem to find 205/55/16 for GiTi Sport S2.
V552 should be ok because it is silent and comfort based.

Okay. I will go for 205/55/16 Yokohama V552 then. The workshop at Kaki Bukit quoted me $480 for 1 set. 

 

Thank you for your quick and good advice. Cheers!

Check date code if possible.

To find your tyre's production date, check the last four digits on the DOT code.
The first two digits designate the week, and the last two digits show the year of production.
So, for example, if the tyre date code is 4714, that means the tyre was manufactured in the
47th week of the year 2014.

Yes. V552 was introduced in 2017.

 

Noted the check the manufacturering date as well. 

 

Thank you.

BTW, 

I see no dealer is selling the latest Yokohama ADVAN dB V553 yet in Singapore.. 🤔

 

Let me contact YHI tomorrow to find out any answers as well .... 

IMHO.
What is your original tyre and what is the load index and speed rating.  The best is to change to something similar.

Okay. 

 

YHI told me that their latest V553 will only be available in Singapore in late 2024 or early 2025.

 

So. I'm going for the current V552 which is already good enough and at good price for the humble CN7. 

 

Checked with my workshop. The DOT for their V552 tyres are 2024. 

 

$480 inclusive of GST per set including balancing, normal new rubble valve (non tpms). 4 rims wash.

Okay.

Done. 1 hour job.  I opted for normal gas instead of nitrogen! 🙂

Running on the new Yokohama ADVAN dB V552 now. 😙
