hi all,
can you all give me some recommendation for 195/50/16?
Im currently using Continental SC1 which serves me for the last 3 1/2 years, still got about 20-30% thread left, but am now searching for tires already.
this set of 4pcs of SC1 was since the day i received my new car.
1. can i use other type of tire WITH my currently other 2pcs of SC1 which is relatively new. (rear with about 70% thread)?
You can use 2pcs of other make/model but must be same size. I suggest you fit the new tyres to the rears and transfer the old ones to the front to be finished off. If install new tyres in front, new tyres will finish off again leaving your rears tyre with maybe 50% pattern but will be 7 years old by then.
2. what is the difference between re001 and re002?
RE-001 is old model. RE-002 is upgraded model
3. which one is better among these choices?
a. re001/re002
b. michelin ps3
c. continental SC5
d. toyo - as per earlier recommendation
Each tyre model have their own pros and cons, therefore cannot say which is better. For example, for dry I would say RE-002 should be best, aquaplane resistance maybe T-1R, wet grip maybe PS3 and so on.
anyway, fyi, im not a hardcore driver that must whack each and every corner, most importantly good/reasonable grip during dry & wet, and dont wear too fast la...
So far PS3 very proven for comfort and grip, but lately prices have shot up sky high....
Thanks so much guys!
