Tyre Selection

[Skywalker]

Had narrowed down a few choices for my new ride, need some advise from all. Don't intend to get those pure performance tyres as my car not performance type

 

1. Yokohama AVS db

2. Michelin Pilot Preceda

3. Falken Azenis ST115

 

All the above are bias towards quiet/comfort on the performance range as I want to strike a balance between performance & comfort/quiet. If you have any suggestion on similar category please recommend. Tyre size will be 215/45R17 and price wise are pretty close.

 

Thanks.

Michelin for me is the best balance

Thanks, very good summary of each tyre scoring

I suggest the new Bridgestone Potenza RE010. Read that its an excellent tyre with low noise.

 

Cheers!

Wow... didn't know my previous tyres (Firestone SZ50) are rated so highly.. .. most people avoided Firestone.. sigh... wasted

 

noticed no Falken rated

You will have a good time looking for this tyre. Not much pple selling as its OEM tyre that come with the car.

 

Alternative...comfort and good handling...can also consider the following tyres.

 

1) Toyo Vimode

2) BridgeStone GIII

3) Yokohama ES100

Firestone and Bridgestone same lah....US call Firestone...both same company diff name.

 

Falken IMHO....crap tyres other than the F451....tried ST115....again like Yokohama...like to use their flagship name to hoodwink pple...what Azenis...if really the Azenis perform like dat...gone case liao.

 

Yokohama like to use the AVS to hoodwink pple like their AVS dBs....AVS used to respesent performance....not anymore.

Yes, but just take that rating as a rough guide.

Sometimes, there is slight difference depending on the weather, the tarmac surfaces and the air/road temperature of the country so data may differ. It all depends on how hard you drive and how fast you drive

[Zolidlim]

Ummm good comparison.. But no Falken le.. Thinking of changing to Falken again after my Yoko DB Aspec runs botak... No grip in wet traction. But very comfort on the other hand.

How about the Yoko ES100? Good grip and lasting?
