Advantages and Disadvantages of Soft and Hard Tyres

[asad_scorpio21]

@all
thanks for sharing ur comments and informations, but if we put less air pressure in hard tyre as compared with soft one , than will it be a comformatable drive like soft tyres,

[jan87]

hard tyres

...long life .....batter traction ....support top speed....but less grip and hard drive

soft tyres

more grip ...short life....but smooth drive

m using bridgestone in 13 in khyber and they are hard

+1

Dosent mean Soft or Hard ..
but i think Radial Tyres are best ..
Local or Wrong tyres usually Hard and dosent Bear lots Air Pressure like usually in pakistani Guages are Wrong .. for detecting the reall PSI ..
and i Recomend GO for Top Level Brands like Toyo .. as Japanese..
Yokohama Bridgstone..
People spend lots money for new Civic's and Corollas . but dosent know how Rubbish and Dangerous are the STOCK TYRES..
be ware stock tyresssss.
tight pressure loose control then bhummmmmmmmm .

i dont think so...
hard tyres give bad traction...
hard tyres are cheaper and more durable....
softer ones are for better grip/traction and last less longer and are more expensive...

for asad_scorpio i think for every day driving medium-hard type of tyres will be ok...
but if he likes to race alot, he shud put slicks but might have to change after maybe every month...
so it all depends on budget...

interesting discussion

Sirs

Never go for any specific brand or hard or soft pattern.

Always judge the individual tire product by its tread, optimized pattern, manufacturing and aspect ratio.

Some small tire manufacturers like Sumitomo, Toyo and Kumho produces some world class tires.

can any 1 tell me price of dunlop digi tyre eco in rwp??
amd sp sport 490??
which 1 is better?

for 12''

[959]

sp sport 490 is better, should cost 2700 Rs for Japanese one.

[n4nomi]

Yeas 959 Is Right, By the way just want to tell you guys that TOYO is one of the world's most reliable and most expensive japanese tire. Its quality and technology is far beyond Bridgestone, Yokohama or any other Japanese Brand.

[mani1]

Sp sport 490 is a relatively hard tire and should be avoided. I have used nearly all tires in the 13" category (for small cars like cultus/alto etc) including Yoko A drive, Sport 490, Eco, Digi tyre, Nexen etc etc. and I can safely say that the best tire I used till date in this category was Goodyear GPS 2 (Made in India)

u need to define wt u mean by soft and hard tyre

do u mean soft "rubber compound tyre" (soft thread) which grips/brakes/corners better but usually have lower life.

or do u mean soft comfortable silent tyres with soft sidewalls, soft footprint and wt ever goes around there to eat up bumps of Pakistani roads.

Same thing I was thinking. You can have either soft compound tire (grip), OR soft sidewalls (comfort).

soft tyres - Comfortable ride

[championspark]

Well i changed tyres in March with used yokohama ( at that time i was short of cash) and now situation is that tyres is getting hard and feel even little bump and steering is not that pretty good. So before getting more loss from it (steering) i want to change them asap. i need 195/65/15. My drive is mostly on rough roads because i visit my village on weekends and roads there are bumpy.
Kindly suggest me best tyre brand with economy for such road conditions. Personally i found Yoko good but dont know which one is good
My Ride:
Honda Civic Prosmatec '05
