a noob question here. how to tell the tyre are entry, mid, or performance type? is there a list that we can refer to?
another question here. i'm searching for new set of rubber for my already bald tyres. got a quote for new 195-60-R15 Conti CC5 at RM216 each. Not includes balancing & alignment. is it considered ok at that price? i might turn to secondhand tyres considering my budget. got offer for same tyres at RM170 for 2pcs already.
Well, you have to know your tyres to know what category they are in, but normally the larger ultra low profile performance tyres are the top range tyres, then the comfort performance, High performance, touring tyre, etc.....Mostly can tell by the aspect ratio but not always correct also
For the list, no not all brands in one list, but you can refer to the manufacturer website and read them. Normally high end on top, but again not always also....
Buying second hand tyres you have to be careful. Look for manufacturing date of the tyres. Thread pattern balance, sidewall for injuries, curbing, crack lines, tyres repaired before for puncture etc., and so on...... If dated to old, like more then 2 years, don't take them....
