[Scaglietti]

Yokohama Aspec A-300... cannot make it!

Dunlop SP65... cannot make it!

Bridgestone Turanza GR-50 ... ocassionally slipped when pushed too hard

Bridgestone Potenza GIII so far no problem

Bridgestone B250 ... so far so good

 

I am considering Falken ST115 and Pirelli Dragon... any feedback on these tyres?

rgrds

[Watwheels]

Michelin's PS2. Purposely skid on wet surface when kup corner.

 

Abit of side drifting.

 

This tyre has plenty of grip but got slight screeching sound when doing sharp corners. Louder when tyre is cold. Wears out fast even on normal driving conditions. Ex also.

Bridgestone R600 on toyota liteace.

skidded when braking downslope fromeast coast park entering marine parade road at less than 40kph. it was just after downpour.

Bro, i have tried ST115 before.

 

Tyres are very very noisy but grip is but it seems to wear off pretty fast

 

Maybe it's due to each individual's driving pattern

i skidded on Pirelli P3000 175/70/R13 on my previous G7 Corolla.

was drizziling on the PIE, driving at 70km/h.

[Subutai]

Yup... changed to Federal SS595 and now is on Hankook H424

[Slowmo]

Mine is the stock from Falken 512. 195/r50/15

 

Wheel spins on moving off on damp roads, screeches when doing gradual turns at 60kph on dry roads, absolutely floats on water at 80kph.

 

ABS kicks in carparks when stopping from 10kph.

 

 

Exciting tires to own, never know when you are going to get it.

[Sickscientist]

Tyre: Eagle F1 GSD3

Condition: Dry Tarmac

Where: 60' Bend, Carpark Roads

 

Squeals under hard driving... But during wet, grip is ....

[Orixy]

skidded on Yoko Aspec Db before. Driving around 40kmph when I braked and the tyres just skidded!!

 

changed them the very next day!

I'm ok with the noise.Maybe i have lower expectations on that.The grip is amazing for my driving style...But i notice it wears out pretty fast due to the stiff sidewall.Will be looking forward to try out other tyres

Kumho SOLUS KH15 after 20k, normal braking on straight wet surface at around 80km/h.

[Ixat]

I'm on ST115 too. Currently at 38K. 40K is the recommended lifespan? Quite gentle driver but certainly can see wears on the tires already. Probably another 3-5mm of thread left. Safe to go another 10k more or thats pushing it?

[Blackbird749]

Toyota Camry on Michelin Vivacy.Try on rainy weather , so far so good. Now coming to about 50k,still got some more treads on it.

[Relagsingh]

I had bad experiences on dunlops. 2 different models.

 

LM701 was crap, and the FM901 was so damn noisy. So far best tyres for me are S02 and AD07.

[Scaglietti]

3mm tyre groove seems to be a good time to change the tires.
