Opinions on Michelin Preceda?

[CSS]

Am thinking of replacing my Potenza G3 225/24/17 on my 318 E46. Am considering the following tires;
1. PS2
2. Potenza Re 050
3. Precedas

Given the high cost of the PS2 and high wear rate of the Re 050, am seriously considering the Michelin Preceda.

Would appreciate any feedback on the Preceda, in terms of dry/wet grip, comfort and noise levels. Do you guys think that the Preceda is an upgrade from my current Potenza G3... also, any idea where the Precedas are manufactured?

Thanks very much.

How about Goodyear Eagle F1 GDS3?

Normally continental tires have softer sidewalls and rubber compound giving better ride comfort.

I think Preceda isn't quite an upgrade from the Potenza G3, should be a notch lower in terms of performance.

Hv u ever thot of Dunlop Sports Maxx?
It's cheap and pretty damn good.

Yup...confirmed that they're value for money tyres. Started trashing my car after running in the tyres and I must say that I'm quiet impressed by the overall performance of the tyres.

Not quite true, as the last set I used it's made in Japan.
Grips are gd for both wet/dry as well as quietness.

I have business associates working with Michelin. He mentioned that consumers should not use Japan made Michelins as they are not 'conditioned' for South East Asia's roads.

So which market are they consigned for, Japan? Funny, what about those Bridgestones, Yokos, Toyos made in Japan? Similarly, we have Dunlops made in Japan too...they are the higher end variants though.

Re: Opinions on Michelin Preceda?

its true that tyre produce for japan market use softer compound as compare to other market. even the same tyre pattern with same rating can have diff compound n casing structure.but i dont think local importer will bring in tyres that is not suitable fr our market usage.

Re: Opinions on Michelin Preceda?

its true japan like soft compound and its quieter n has better grip but probably lower mileage

Re: Opinions on Michelin Preceda?

New Model of Precedas = PSP2 will be launched soon.

May be you can consider but not sure how much it will costs.

You may read the write-up in Torque Magazine (May 06 issue).

Pretty impressive write-up
