Any Good/Worth buying tyres

[ken12292703]

Yeah, Silverstone's tyres raining drive fast take corner damn dangerous larr. Even dry also not very good. Taking corners understeer a lot. It can almost last up to 4-5 years. What do you mean by stones inside? Stones? Batu?

i will say for best balance of grip, rain, life, noice, price, it is BFgoodrich G-force sport, u will not belive until u try, but u need to put more air becos it is soft

What I've used (previous and current rides).

1. Silverstone/Sime Tyres - I wouldn't want to comment coz they suck, BIG TIME.
2. Michelin Certis - very affordable, quiet but aquaplan when going thru puddle of water at speed in excess of 80 km/h
3. GT Radial Champiro series - Performs much better, in both dry and wet. I've used the 50 and 60 series on two different rides. Sticky when warmed-up, cuts water nicely, noisy when less than 70% thread. Still on my corner-whacking, weekend ride.
4. Bridgy RE711 - retires from production and gave way to G3, though still used by my Bro's on his Putra. The latter is however, has yet to surpass the former's reputation?
6. Bridgy Turanza - not my cuppa, got rid of it as soon as I got my hands on better brand tyres. Aquaplan, noisy, you name it.
5. Yoko S-217 - on my current daily-driven ride. Quiet and comfortable. Good in dry and wet. Soft and sticky. Aquaplans sometimes when going too fast (>90-100 km/h) through puddle of water.

My mate had his awful Silverstone FTZ replaced with Mich XM1 (Energy). Never look back eversince.

b4 this i used sime tyres astar- like shit...like running on plastic wheels...
then changed to yoko ES100- ok-ok the grip...but tyre thread cepat habis. have to set the camber correctly if not...hailat....after yoko ES100, changed to yoko PARADA-cheap RM150 per tyre (15/50/195), grip damn freaking good, the side wall also nice, the tread is similar to semi slick, cannot rotate the tyre, BUT when its rain, hang on to ur dear life!!!!!!! ur car will swirve like theres no tomoro....!!!!!so...choose ur tyre wisely...

There's a thread in AW where you can find various prices for various models of tyres (of various sizes too) contributed by forummers there. I find it helpful, esp when negotiating with tyre shops since we have the "base" price.

Under Tyre & Wheel Talk.
