New Tyres for Vios 2006

[richardtan]

Hello friends,

Is there a recommended brand/model/type of tyre for Vios 1st generation?
Must the front and rear tyres all be the same type?

My front tyres are balding soon. :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance

Best regards
Richard

my god..its 2009 my friend...you mean still using those NCT5 from 2006?...you better drive slower...I also have 2003 vios G...from NCT5 ..change to GYf1 ...then PP2...then AD07...just got myself another set of AD07..gonna change to AD08 very soon...

If you are keeping tires for a long time I recommend the XM1...for mileage...but the tires I mention above are for performance drive (except the lousy NCT5).

Bro what is the different between AD07 and PP2. Which want you feel better and why?

Difference between PP2 and AD07..

PP2 is a good tire...but due to its roughness...I didn't like it...roughness feeling is totally different from noisy or bumpy...I can handle noise or bump...but roughness just creeps into you. PP2 is also not a sport tire...its slow to response, more of a grandpa tires to me. Looks also is too conservative if you are the 'fashionable' guy. Dry cornering it is also limited but lucky controllable. Still better than the average NCT5 tires. Wets are great...can't beat a GYF1 ...but close to it..

On the other hand..we have the AD07...it bumps same like the PP2, more noisier (roaring), not so easy to maintain as it is soft compound for the contact patch, average wet capability in puddles, but makes up for super fantastic grippy stuff in the dry. No roughness feeling here unlike the PP2.

Both are a different breed of tires, PP2 is more for conservative and overall drives, AD07 for excitement on the edge on the seat (dry only). I would recommend the PP2 to anyone but mark it down due to roughness....or maybe its just for my size.
