Michelin Pilot Precada Review - Team-BHP

married2speed · 10th May 2008, 00:33

Hi All
I just got Michelin Pilot Precada fitted today onto my 1.5 exi City. (195/60-14) Just wanted to say that you can't go wrong with this set. I've tried bridgestone's, GY, MRF, basically the works on different cars but never got this kinda confidence while cruisign on high speeds. Although slightly expensive in comparasion with the other tyres in the market (4K per tyre), this tyre is an ideal fit for people in the fast lane. Unbelivable grip. However, the only draw back, if at all is considered is the medium-hard compoud that has gone into the tyre. you can feel the stiffness in the car below the speed of 50 but as you go faster, you'll that you have made the right choice. The bumps eventually have become softer n easier to handle. I'll write in a detailed review after the run-in period is over. Yet to see how this effects the FE. However, for those looking for an immediate solution, I can honestly write in the pro' n the cons

Pro
1. Excellent Grip even for wets.
2 Lower tyre noise even in comparasion with the stock GPS2

Con
1. Can make you feel a bit stiff below the speed of 50
2. Need alloys for sure to compliment the tyre. The stock rims give the car an odd look.

Have a nice evening ya' all

Just in line with that I think of the Michelin PP's. Awesome tyres, pricey but totally worth the premium.

How does Michelin PP2 compare with Yokohama S.Drive tires?
I am contemplating between the two for my new Getz CRDi.

PP2 ranks above the S-Drives in performance but is also more expensive. Wear rates are almost the same on both though.

Thanks a lot Ishan.

I am leaning towards PP2s as Michelin dealer here is giving me good price on the stock tires narrowing the price difference a little.
