Throttleb Neutral Newbie October 7, 2003 Share October 7, 2003 How would u rate the Preceda agst the GSD3 in terms of grip and roadholding? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie October 7, 2003 Author Share October 7, 2003 I can't give a fair comparision as my previous tyre was 205 compared to now which is 225. But in terms of dry lateral grip, I find the Preceda is very good, but this could be because of the fact that it is 225. Wet weather performance the F1GSD3 is better, it cuts puddles more confidently. But the Preceda's grip is actually very good, considering that the tyre is very quiet, way quieter than the F1 even with 225 width. The main factor for me was the comfort level and the preceda has a softer sidewall, making it more comfy for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Neutral Newbie October 7, 2003 Share October 7, 2003 i bought it a week ago. paid $150 per piece for 16" at a shop in bukit batok. More grip and better steering to my previous contential premium contact but noise level the same. Interestingly, although i read in torque's magazine's review that the 16" tyres are made in Thailand, my tyres sidewall actually state "Made in Japan". This is also what the shop owner claimed. Anyway, what's the diff between thai and japanese made? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttleb Neutral Newbie October 7, 2003 Share October 7, 2003 Hi Phalanx, Im using 205/55/16 Gsd3's, its better than my oem firestones which had plenty of thread left but were not very good in the wet. However, i think the Gsd3 has hard sidewalls as its not that comfortable.. well i suppose its hard to find a all round quiet UHP tire... all though pple have raved abt the CSC 2 as QUIET, GRIPPY, LIGHT and GOOD AQUAPLANING resistance.

Ask for Ah Ann at 67334598. They're a Michelin dealer. Only small drawback is got to pay $1 for parking! ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
