My company car(toyota picnic) came fitted with Michelin Primacy.So far its smooth, quiet and the grip is pretty good. But then the car has only travelled 3000+km, so not sure how the tyre will be once it reached 20000+km onwards.

Thank you for the feedback

Going to change my existing 195/60/R15 Bridgestone GR80 with 43000km mileage on it for the new Bridgestone GR90 195/60/R15 sometime this month, anyone has changed to this new tires? Any feedback on the below GR90 pricing, is it reasonable? Most likely will go for 195/60/15 again

185/65/15 = $115
195/60/15 = $125

jliow,

I presume you fitted 195/60R15 tyres on your stock Latio rims?

Do the tyres bulge out of the rims, since stock tyre size if 185/65R15.

No.1 reason, cost, GR90 was quoted as 120 per pc. same as Mich PP2, which was then out of stock. Wld have gone for PP2 if its available
No.2 Made in Japan
No.3 Symmetrical design (easy to do cross tyre swap)
No.4 the overall review by overseas chaps seems not bad
No.5 judging from the groove, looks deep, which translate to longer wear
No.6 Overseas rating of the tyre mileage in JP is 37-45K KM of usage
No.7 Overseas users are using it in areas where there is light snow (means grippy enough)
No.8 Marketing based on (NVR, suitable for wet conditions, good water drainage, new design etc etc)
No.9 Lots of sizes available (though I couldn't get my hands on stock size)
No.10 I am looking for stiffer sidewalls design, not the buldging sorts, out of 5 I like to have, only 2 readily available, and affordable.

Hope this helps.

195/60/15 has no impact on my FC, infact my FC improved by a tiny weeny bit, could be the tyre make. So in all essense there is no impact.

well I look at things from a point where its individual rights to believe what they want and will believe.

Sharing experience and opinion is everyone's rights, in some instance it will conflict with others believe or will believe, then again its a free world.

time will prove everything in its due course.

Relax and enjoy the post, sometimes I get rather bemused and amused by what others share too.  :yumseng:

Mine is 195/60R15 but FC is between 12 to 13 plus, which is similar when I was 185/65R15. Both are stock rims, my driving style did not change, still heavy footed as always.
