Comfort tyres

**jobrum** · 22-03-2009 10:41 PM

just got a previous shaped Jazz 08, handling and comfort is annoying on the stock 14 tyres. Would a 15 be more comfy? What kind of tyres is recommended? Sensible advise please...cheers!!

15 will be harsher ride because less tyre sidewalls to cushion the car.
Unfortunately it's more cause by jazz suspension system.

Try inflate the tyre up to recommended pressure.

What make and model of tyre have you got?
I have Yokohama Aspec tires. Tough and hard. Rough ride and 'just" holding the road. But 55,000km with about 1/3 still to go.
Not a popular tire but I had Falkin brand tyres on my last car and liked them for both road holding and quiet smooth ride. Anyway it's where you drive that really counts. Just commuting and shopping in the city traffic? Buy on value with best quality. (No cheap Chinese)

Try the Pirelli P6000. I got them on special at Bob Jane. They have a comfortable ride and good handling.

aas twing suggest 15" will be harsh it's the shock/spring combo make it choppy ride. personally dun like pirelli on light jap car. using sumitmoto pretty good esp wet road hold n for @114 i would say it's a good price.
btw how much you paid 4 the P6000? Icejazz?

I paid about $115 per tyre.

X2

the design has been around for donkeys years ie since the early to mid 90s but still grips well, not noisy by pirelli standards and very comfy tyre.

best of all it's frequently discounted.

much better tyre than the newish drago and better than P6

thanks for all the replies...but does that mean to say that i have to stick with the 14's and get quality tires instead? hmmmm...

**bc143** · 03-04-2009 06:03 PM

yes i would say. as most of vti-s with 15" would tell you the same thing.

I'm using the Toyo T1R, very quiet tyre compare with some Bridgestone,
around 120each

best comfort and performance tyre i've used is pirelli p zero nero almost no road noise and great grip on the bends and good in the wet. Got them from bob jane.
