[CU2][CL9] Euro Tyre Discussion

**I CU2** · 06-01-2012 10:16 PM

One of my OEM Michelin's is leaking air from somewhere so I am looking to get the whole set replaced as it looks like they're about to go as well.

Happy to pay for a new set of Michi's but are there any other tyres to consider?

Considered: Pirelli PZero Nero (Apparantly has a soft compound) and Kuhmo's range topping performance KU39 (Quite a bit cheaper than the Michi's).

Anyone running any other tyres that are worth mentioning?

Toyo proxes 4 ftw!

The last time I did a search, Bridgestone Potenza RE050A or Turanza ER33. Honda uses the potenzas on the civic TypeR!

Not too sure about the price though.

Someone else did mention that our CU2 18s have limited choices due to the uncommon rim sizing. From what I recall, the Kumho seems to get the thumbs up.

Oh and let us know what you eventually settle on.

Goodyear Eagle F1, They are very quiet with outstanding wet weather grip. Kuhmo are a softer compound from what I have heard.

Michelin Pilot Sport 3's - CANNOT say no to them.

If you don't mind me asking, how much were the Goodyears?

Where are they made?

Might have to look into them. They look good.

EDIT: Also, what is the difference between the Asymmetric 2 and Directional 5?

When I got mine they were on special - buy 4, pay for 3. Cost $1114.00. Manufactured in Thailand

I am only guessing but Asymmetric is non directional so can be diagonally rotated, while Directional can only be run in 1 direction only.
