goodyear vs silverstone

[weikhee86]

i'm planning to get some new tires for my ride...i need the experience of all the ZH dudes out there...price wise, which one is better? overall, which one is the better? i heard that eagle f1 performs really well...

 

[Accentmaniac]

Forget about silverstone

Get Falken, michelin, bridgestone
Goodyear is so so only... very noisy

 

[boyzone]

[rollakid]

ad07 *grin*

 

[SkYwAlKeR]

continental also vr noisy... i'm using it now.... the tyre wall vr bulky... haha... aeroplane tyres....

 

[rollakid]

continental when new is nice.. but after wear down more than 50% scary...

 

[Fluffy]

yes.forget silverstone.goodyear better.but if that's ur budget.

got more money?falken:_: or toyo.

 

[nitrus]

one thing i wanna ask .... sorry to be out of topic..

why does Yokohama tyres wear so quick?!

its less than 2000km and my Yokohama A520 has worn quite alot , n im not the kind that corners alot ...

 

[Fluffy]

they do?havent used yokos b4..

 

[amrancharger]

falken wat type??the new one dat was launched recently??im driving a standard 1.3 car...do u tink its worth buying the expensive tyres??

 

[Fluffy]

er,not really lor..just get tyres that is good for everyday use.:_: dont need toyo tyres then.hehe

 

[rollakid]

my yokos last forever... probably they already expire and hardened.. >.< i do have alot of rear traction problem on wet roads..

 

[nitrus]

rollakid, which tires of yoko u're using?

bad rear traction...? is ur car FF or FR ?

 

[rollakid]

nitrus,

yokohama radial 352 215/50/13. they dated all the way back to the 70's and if i'm not mistaken they are used on the first toyota celica prototype. i can't find anymore info on them on the net, beside an Aus site that say the tire is use on the celica.

yes my car FR. i use sumitomo HTR200 for the front, kinda hard to get sumitomo here, maybe have to ask people to special import one set for me in the future. kinda hard to find tire for my rims, there's only a few type out there, most common one is silverstone, but i dun like it, not performance tire.

 

[m3yzr]

buy pirelli...all my 4 tyres are pirelli..very2 good....:-)

 

[nitrus]

Sigh .. I still don't know why my Yokohama A520 wears so fast ... The traction n grip is really really good, sticky tires ... But seriously wear damn fast sial .... :(

Maybe i shud get a tire that lasts longer next time but also better than Sime Tires lol .... But for u rollakid, FR yea im sure u wud like performance tires :regular_smile:

 

[rollakid]

its really hard to find the right size for a 13x6.5jj rim nowadays, its either silverstone normal tire or racing compound slick/semi slick. the only one in the middle range would be sumitomo and kumho. sumitomo's are summer sport tire, while kumho's one is all season, ziex model or something.

 

[jswong]

For average cars, Falken Ziex 326 gives a good enough handling and wet-road grip. On a 1.3, I think that's enough.

If you want good tyres, can try Falken Azenis ST115.. the level of grip when whacking corners is pretty damn good. Wet weather handling is also excellent, hardly aquaplanes.

Bridgestone Potenza GIII is also good.

 

[nitrus]

Which would be a good tire that can last longer too ? For a reasonable price...

 

[amrancharger]

it still depends on your rite foot.a fren of mine just buy sime or silverstone coz cheap and also he drive like racing in the road.very fast botak.coz he brakes like hell too...haha...even face tyre blow up while driving frm workplace.and i'll be foreman to bkak the tyre...hahaha....in middle of the nite/morning!!!

 

[tonytony]

kimex la bro, malaysia boleh !
yoko's are dam sticky at a cost...expensive and easily wear out (coz stick to the ground alot mar) but after only 2K ???? maybe your allignment out
between silverstone and kimex, i was recommended kimex by foreman, about the same price but performs way better

 

[amrancharger]

kimex??well this new...never heard dis before...where did u buy it??cost for 195/55/15??thinking of changing to bigger size tyre so dat can get comfort and less noise on malaysian road.... :)

Just to share my experience.

My sumitomo htrz 2 tires wore out damn quickly compared to my bridgestone my01. Less than a year and my sumitomos are at 30% or less now i think.

Now all running on 4 michelin!!! Use to have Two Goodyear, noisy till i tak tahan change all to mechelin :tongwink:
