GR90 is also super quiet...not that cheap though. Go for this if comfort & FC is top priority.

i was on these before,

Dunlop SP 2000 - good overall, poor sidewall

Falken Azenis ST115 - good in wet, but wears out very fast. not too noisy.

Pirelli Dragon - good wearing, but super noisy

Michelin Pilot Preceda 1 - poor in wet

Michelin Pilot Preceda 2 - good, noisy after 10000km

Bridgestone RE050 - good overall, but not very comfortable.. noisy after 10,000km

Would like to try CSC5, CSC3, PS3, and GR90 next.... still thinking which one i should start with first.

IMHO

If you want the "quietest premium tyres" - GR90 is zee best!

My previous 2 rides out from show room were shod with GR90s

Too bad current ride dun have my size!

I've used:

IMHO

Bridgestone GR80- Quiet but soggy

Yoko ES100- Screamer at corners= Good feedback for driver?!

Yoko AD07- 'Superglue' + Cuts water like 'hot- knife to butter'

Toyo T1R- Value for money performer but noisy after 4000km

Conti SC3- Good grip all season, Generally quiet but no 'soul'

Conri SC5p- Good grip, little noisy, expansive (still experimenting)

*All tyres are bought new and used till the last bits.

A little advise- Don't save money on 'cheap/ lousy' tyres. Its the only contact between your life and the roads.

Drive save

Any bros have any idea

"whats the diff btw parallel import n agent import tires?"

im contemplating btw Bridgestone S001, Made in Hungary (PI) or Made in Japan (Agent).

There's a diff a $100 per tires.

Looking in terms of

- surface material (wear rate of diff climate) ,

- tropicalised-ness (is there such a word? :lol:),

- durability (Europe vs Asia)?

Pls share ur views. TIA!! :wave:

both wear rate same? 220?

i only know the diff is in terms of warranty as in if sidewall crack etc... if pi cant claim, if agent, tyre shop can claim for u

as for tropicalise... all the vw using re050 all made in poland instead of japan... so no diff ma... unless u really look into coimpund suited for diff climates...

japan made so far still trusted by many... followed by taiwan made, korean made

but from feedback for example, the china made F1-GSD3 vs the germany made F1 are a whole lot of diff(china made more lousy) although local goodyear agent say the made in china 1 are better for our climate...
