My new Fiat Bravo GT came with Continental CSC3, size 225/40/R18.
Bloody hell they're really noisy. Anyone here tested CSC3s and their alternatives - Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric/Pirelli P Zero Rosso/Michelin PP2? Care to comment? Especially on the tyre roar. Thanks. |

Feedback from some forummers that F1 Assy is the best choice as it is still reasonably priced... its noise and grip level also at satisfaction level...

Thanks mate. Yeah I've been getting really good feedback regarding the F1 Asymmetric. I'll probably use the original CSC3s for a few months or so, then think about replacing them as I've just lowered the pressure down to 32psi for all 4 tyres, and the noise is slightly more tolerable now. |

After done with some reading on the interwebs and feedback here, i have decided and bought myself a set of Michelin PP2. Previously i was on OEM tyres which is the Goodyear NCT5 and finally rest at peace clocking 67000km with less 10% thread.

according to experts the higher Pressure the less roll resistance will be... so u will get better FC...
got get good performance u must have the right pressure not too hard or soft... under inflated tire ur tire outer parts will wear off faster while over inflated tire ur tire will loss comfort... |

QUOTE(maxximus @ Oct 9 2009, 06:09 PM) sifus, advice and commends needed for tyres listed below: 1. GY Excellence 2. GY Revspec RS-02 3. GY Eagle F1 GSD-3 4. GY LS2000 Hybrid2 thanks need new rubber soon....I'm using LS2000 Hybrid II on my Airtrek Turbo, very nice so far. Good balance between performance and comfort, very quiet and good ride with low noise. It's one step below the UHP range so you can't really compare with 2 and 3. If you want UHP I suggest you look at Falken FK452 as well, I wanted to get those but they don't manufacture the size I need (215/55/R17). |
