Get Bridgestone Potenza RE050 or Michelin Preceda.............decent performance and quiet too....

But can't beat the quietness of Aspec db like T6 pointed out...but dont think its performance is a good.
 
Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

Try Michelin Pilot Preceda or Yokohama AVS db.

Can simply 4get abt Yokohama aspec db, got no damn grip at all. Can get tire spin for no reason on dry road.
 
Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

Goodyear RevSpec RS02
quiet n cheap
 
Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

Thanks guys...probably thinking of Michelin Pilot...but Thailand made. Not sure any quality issue.
 
Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

Yup, grip of the Yokohama Aspec DB not gd at all as pointed out by some.
 
Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

Who is selling RE050 now? Was at South East last week, they are still pushing RE040 for my 18" staggered sizing.

Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

choice really depends on your driving style. I'm currently running the GR80 and they're whisper quiet, grip wise, it's acceptable in both wet and dry conditions although nothing much to shout about
 
Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

Finally, I got the GR80....decided to go with japanese tires.
Very quiet indeed....love it. :inlove:
 
Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

Hi, How has the GR80 been doing snce you installed them? Still quiet? Grip ok? Me looking around for tires too......Many thanks,

I just got four pieces of Bridgstone Turanza GR80 yesterday. 225/45R17. $1,000
Very quiet indeed. So, happily, I went cruising along ECP last night.

At 120km/h, PONG (explosion sound).... a tyre came FLYING OFF the rim!

Now I need a lawyer.
 
Re: Quiet Tires to recommend?

Another quiet one and yet gives very good performance handling is the Dunlop SportMaxx. It's bloody good in the wet too. I'd also consider the new Falken 452.

Do you think is a manufacturer or fitting issue?

Thanks.

How long have you had your Dunlop sporrt maxxs? Do they ride hard? i am looking for size 205/55/16.

Thanks,

Opvaulet,

It's fitting issue. The shop agreed to replace it. Stock will be in only tomorrow. They loan me a tyre this morning. But they are very nice people. I have been using them for the last ten years or more. Jalan Bukit Merah next to Alexandra Village Food centre.

Thanks MapleLeaf. Other than noise could you share more comments about the GR80? How does it ride and grip, and what model is your bimmer?

Thanks,

A little hard but not as bad as SO-3.
It's one of the best value for money tires I hv ever come acrossed.

Soft ones are mainly dominated by the Michelin.
