Yokohama Aspec DB 205/50/16"

[Oreo]

Hi Brothers,

 

Been recommended this tyres from a tire shop..

 

Any comments? He told me it quiet and good grab...

[Odyssey02]

think wet handling not that good, wheel spins are quite common especially at slopes etc. comfort wise excellent.

Thanks brother, how does this compare with other brother recommendation such as Michelin Preceda?

Michelin Precedas is ( Traction AA for my pilot precedas )

[Elantrahatch]

Do note that Aspec DB comes with 2 models. The lower range is the A300 and the higher range is the A500.

 

I am running the Aspecs DB A500 on my Elantra. So far, its advantage over many tyres is the fact that it is very quiet.

 

However, aquaplanning is quite common and I wouldn't push my car faster then 100km/h on wet weathers.

A300 = Aspec

A500 = Aspec DB

 

Thread pattern between the two is slightly different, with the A500 having a continuous block in the middle.

I think i am quoted on the A300 if not wrong...

[Oreo]

So Michelin Precedas is better?

[Mavvy]

It all depends on your requirements...

 

Between comfort and performance, you gotta sacrifice either side...

 

I got precedas due to traction... I need something to rely on during wet and braking distance..

 

No more Aquaplanning.. but then that doesn't mean i can speed during wet/heavy waters..

pilot precedas are really good.. but quite ex. before u start deciding what model u want, i suggest u go shop around and enquire on availability 1st. The normal profile for 16" is usually 205/46/R16 If u really want 205/50/R16 then remem to see how big the difference in price will be...
