Tyre Recommendation thread

[2002 TeGgY]

i just replaced my falken Azenis-615 215/45/16 with bridgestone potenza re001 adrenalines 205/55/16 and the car is so much quiter now, as for grip im sure it wont grip as hard as the falkens did in the dry but i cant judge that now as i still didn't run the tires in. i picked em up for $210 a pop plus free locknuts and free wheel allignment is that a good price?

[krogoth]

sounds pretty damn good to me

Sure they're Bridgestone not Ridgestone

Jks jks, pretty good especially with all those extras in

lol, pritty sure theyr bridgestones. i got that price cause a mate of mine knew a guy that worked there. and the good thing is that after 5,000kms i get another free wheel allignment/wheel balance/rotation...

running 225/45r17 re001 at 38psi front, and 35psi rear.
great tyre =] amazing in dry, and excellent in the wet.
(only been on the car 2 weeks tho)

anyways, was wondering if the tyre pressure im using is correct ?
seems ok, any other recommendations ?

34-36 is fine man, 38 is high , cos when it gets hot itll b higher lolz ..

[steebs]

yeh i thought 38 was abit high, but any lower and it almost looks like its under inflated, max psi according to the tyre is 51 if i remember right.

[andiiso]

yer but dun go by the max one lolz, thats simply telling u, "Do Not Go Over 51 Psi" lolz, so thats not realli in any way relevant to wat u put it on unless u plannin to put on max psi.

I cannot speak higher of michelin pilot preceda II's. They arent cheap but are far and away the best all round tyres i've ever run.
Yes Yoko Advan Neova Semi Slicks would grip slightly better in the dry but they are also damn noisy tyres.
These are incredibly quiet (quietest tyres ive ever owned) yet grip tenaciously and give plenty of feedback through the tiller too.
Ill always fork out the money for such quality tyres. As i said, i looked at semi slicks and they have bling factor and grip well but if its for an everyday car i find them annoying! These grip close to as well, also grip well in the wet and dont wear like semi slicks either!

dont mean to hijack..but how do you run in tyres?

roughly 500km of driving, minimise any wheel spin if possible, and if possible, keep the new tyres at the rear of your vehicle. new tyres dont really grip too well to begin with so you dont want them slipping your front end while cornering. then after said 500km, switch em back to the front if you want. btw 500km is a rough guide.

If you drive sedately without the intention of getting speeding tickets, having the new tyres at the front is alright.
