[CU2][CL9] Euro Tyre Discussion

[tony1234]

Hey guys, I have a CL9 and my front 2 tyres have some pretty low tread and was in the market at just replacing the front 2. The back are fine, and the spare has never been used.
I really wanted something that can make the ride much smoother and quieter perhaps, cos i've noticed with more use the ride has become a bit louder and uncomfortable. Would these tyres still fit for a CL9? (I'm not too familiar with tyres) Or would there be any others you'd suggest?

Michelin PS3s

Order tyres from USA! Tirerack.com.
I just ordered a set, just about all tyres for the CU2 euro 17" (225/50R17 98 load rating) cost between US$120 - US$140. Shipping is US$325 a set.
They have heaps to choose from (16 to be exact), so not short of selection...
Saved over $400!!!

Michelin PS3 is the best all round tyre to get.

Hi Guys,

Going to Taleb tomorrow and getting Toyo Proxes 4... Any review on these? I'm replacing the Kumhos, so just wondering if Toyo better than Kumhos?

Thanks

i just got my new rims and tyres installed
got toyo proxes 4 from taleb - $200 each installed

they seem pretty good and have decent reviews.

Made in Japan with some additional silica compound.

mine were exact same as stock 235/45r/18

nothing wrong so far. I like the tread pattern alot more than the michelins

Great price on the Toyos... this is why you dont need to go that Tirerack since local seller often have good deals if you know how to look for one. Not to mention wire transfer only at Tirerack..f that!

I have bought from tirerack in the past as well. The savings over those sold here are significant. Not to mention the larger selection of tyres to choose from.

Just another quick point, I think sticking with the main brands is a good idea. However, no 'brands' as a whole is better than another. A high performance kumho will outperform a midrange pirelli/michelin/bridgestone etc. The 'model' of tyre is more important imho...

Just to put it in there, my Conti Sport Contact 3 definitely have more grip than my Dunlop SP Sport 2050a I had before, but god their loud. If you care about noise level, just avoid. Not going with Conti's anymore.

Edit: The problem with reading online reviews is that their made by a lot of random people. Take my Conti CSC3 as an example, it's actually rated very highly in tireracks survey, however my own experience differs greatly. The problem is that most people had the Conti CSC3 as OEM equipment, then they changed to cheap tyres like Kumho or basic Bridgestone/Mich/Yoko ect so they rate the Conti's higher than what their worth. If only there was a website where tyres were tested under similar conditions.
