Hi, I am looking for a set of new tyres for my V35 sedan. The car is driven as a family car by my wife - I would like to get something quite as the Yokohama DNA GP Grand Prix tyres on them there are fairly noisy.

The tyres are 215/55/17.

I have called around and people tell me that as long as the tyre is a premium touring (non performance tyre) that they will be fairly quiet. I am looking at

$264 - Goodyear LS2000

$245 - Bridgestone Turanza ER300

$265 - Dunlop 230

Does anyone have any of these tyres - how are they?

you can buy my wheels and tyres for $500 :P i cant remember how quiet they are but they are virtually brand new on stock rims!

however, on my car now i have Sumitomo HTR ZIII and they are pretty quiet, and they are comparatively cheaper than the bigger brands. And if you want to know what brand that is, go look at who makes your brake calipers :(

Hello,

I recently went through this and look at the link below

Bob Jane has Michelin MXV8's for $199.

I really recommend them, they are quite with good wet and dry grip, while still lasting.

Thanks

I have had both the Turanza ER300 and Potenza RE001. Turanza is a very average tire. The RE001's v.good. I currently have Toyo CT01. These are the quietest tires i have driven on and have been performing equally as good as the RE001 Potenza's. Not sure of the cost in Aussie but in NZ they are cheaper by $50 a tire.

Organising RE001s to put on by next week, most of mech recommended RE001 as ER300 is "Touring" and RE001 is "Performance" tires~

I need some grippy foot~ :P , RE001 got much better rating on noise level and wet/dry grips than ER300

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
