Recommended high-performance 205/45R16 tires

**Type 100** · April 27th, 2008 11:43 PM

Hi guys,
Which high-performance tires would you recommend at the 205/45R16 size? Would you also have any idea how much they'd cost?

My personal pick was the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001, but they don't seem to offer this locally in the size I need.

Is this true?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Advan AD07 Neovas. Available in 205/45R16. But they're really expensive. Grip is terrific, lifespan depends on how nicely you drive...

...still, they're great tires... never overheat, and are very resistant to damage.

I think Federal RS595s and SS595s are available in this size, too. The RS is supposed to be grippy, but I don't know about its lifespan. The SS595 is supposedly all right, but I had the first generation 595s and I didn't really like them that much. The new ones look promising.

Michelin Pilot Preceda or Michelin Pilot Sport. Both are available in the Philippines and in 205/45/16.

And yes, Advan Neovas AD07 are quite nice too.

Niky: Mahal masyado Neova at that size (the price jumps viciously from 15" to 16"). It's an extravagance using them as daily driving tires, to be honest.

Enzo18: Yep good feedback nga daw ang RE001, but sadly Bridgestone isn't offering them in the 205/45R16 size locally. I did the rounds this afternoon at Evangelista, no such luck. I'm not willing to get 205/50s (the closest I can get to RE001s with my wheels) due to speedometer error and potential fender-rubbing issues on my Jazz.

1D4LV: Di ba mahal Michelins?

Anyway I thought of getting Yokohama S-drive tires for a change. Any feedback on this particular tire? Based on the UTQG, it's just as capable as my current rubber (Bridgestone S-02) but has almost double the treadwear rating at 300.

*Type 100,

S Drive was my first option, it looks great and the threads seems very agressive but i considered the Adrenalin because i wanted to try bridgestone.

medyo, i think its around 5600 per piece sa 16s.... well performance comes with a price, ika nga....

Sa Yokohama S.Drive na lang siguro ako, PhP4100 per piece. Generally good reviews din.

Kung may mahanap din akong Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 na ganyang price baka doon din ako

My beef with Michelin's rubber aside from the price is they don't seem to make them any harder-wearing. Almost all their tires are rated 240 for treadwear...

**niky** · April 29th, 2008 01:36 PM

Well... for the price, F1 GSD3s are generally good tires. S-Drives, are too, supposedly, but I haven't tried them.

Yup, the price of Neovas is a bit steep, but it's worth it. Still, I am looking for cheaper tires for a daily drive. Magkano ba yung bagong RE050As? not exactly super-performing, but generally good... I'd say similar to the Advan A460s, I used to have... should make them cheaper than other "performance" tires.

Wanna buy my old Neovas? 205/45R16s... but I think they only have 30% tread left...
