Hi all, I would like to try performance tyre on size 185/60/R15.
In dilemma now as I'm trying to maintain same aspect ratio while exploring performance tyre.
Reason is my current problematic car still under warranty, it's been through steering column, steering rack coupling replacement/fixed in this year. I don't want if (touchwood better not) steering component or suspension at fault again, SC got reason to blame it's caused by "thinner" profile tyre while I working at potholes road area. thanks.
so far i see all 185/60/R15 tyres are Eco-based, Yokohama ES32, Bridgestone Ecopia EP300, Michelin XM2. Performance tyre i mean like falken 914, kumho PS31.. don't see have this size..

Is Bridgestone Potenza RE080 a good gripping tyre on this size?

QUOTE(xemoboyx @ Jan 20 2018, 06:04 PM) Go brothers get spring buffer and then settle lor... anyways, my friend using this spec on his polo sedan, without spring buffer. He didnt complain about any bump issue... he lives in klang someore... My original polo sedan Indian made absorber kaput within 1 year, so I change outside getting polo hatchback Germany made absorber. Polo sedan using oil based absorber no scrap bump, but polo hatchback gas absorber very stiff to compress but it's scraping bump easily, although both absorber same shaft length... |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Jan 20 2018, 11:11 PM) Weird, not making much sense. Dampers should not have such effect. If your car still using the same spring and the spring seats on your absorbers are also still the same height then the car height should be the same hence the ground clearance should also be the same. Absorbers also if stiffer then actually should have more resistance to compress hence the car should not go down as much. Yeah, keep wondering myself too. I suspect it could be the gas rebound is too fast which is the comfort settings, while the previous version of oil absorber doesn't rebound by itself. Car height and ground clearance still same unchanged, but more hitting bumps easily. Some Russian translated explanation the Indian made version 6RF improved on this aspect, but it's bad quality and doesn't lasts long.
