"Option 1 for track and daily use."

 

Was thinking of that as Option 3 but heard the Kumho is quite noisy and wet grip so-so only. May not suit me for daily use. But never know, may juz keep it on if i ever install it.

Ya, look quite similar to the original Azenis. $200+ quite ex. Looking for cheap-cheap no horse run alternatives.

Juz wondering, when ppl say the 712 is noisy, how bad is it exactly? aeroplane humming sound? Alot of ppl oso say ST115 very noisy but found it tolerable.

Not VR just basic with FOC bodykit, etc! I think the tyres are Bridgestones RE88 unless they differ from the test cars. I may stick to 15" for a while till they run out then get a complete new set of wheels and rims!

OIC...thot i saw C&C advertising saying got free VR bodykit, 16" rims, etc. Maybe i saw wrongly. Why dun u juz top up a bit and get C&C to upgrade the 15" for 16"? Super 7 did that, i think. The galant's wheel arches are HUGE...dunno if the 15" will look very under-tyred esp wif the bodykit on. [:/]

When was the ad?

The VR version costs $90,988 as of 3rd wk of March with 16" rims but the Basic going for only $86,988 with no bodykit from C&C. Not even 2-DIN CD changer just single DIN CD changer! Now everything is up by $2K!

 

I tried the VR with 16 inch rims at C&C and it seems the acceleration was not as good as the version with 15" rims. Either the VR bodykit was damn heavy or the 16" rims really made a difference! The dealer seems to offer more for your buck, IMHO!
