Tangcy Neutral Newbie May 31, 2003 Share May 31, 2003 Cannot tahan the bumpy ride liao, need to change tyres. But the bumpy thing goes away once I hit say 50-60km/h. Is this a sign of tyre wear? After enquiring abt the ES100, found out that it cannot fit into my existing rim, so think going for the Potenza GD3(185/65/14) at $82/ea. Price ok or not? thks for all the advise here. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDIzen Neutral Newbie May 31, 2003 Share May 31, 2003 Most likely Yokohama... I heard G3 not as quiet as Aspect DB but grip is better in the wet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virus 2nd Gear May 31, 2003 Share May 31, 2003 Yours is 175/65/14 and u're getting 185/65/14, size different leh. Speedometer "buay-chun" liow. Your actual speed will be higher than speedo one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangcy Neutral Newbie June 1, 2003 Author Share June 1, 2003 So, does it mean if my speedo shows 110km/h it's actually >110km/h? Like dat must be careful in NS highway liao. btw, dunno whether kena ketuk or not, after changing tyres, they recommend to do alignment for $50bucks since the old tyres shows sign of misallignment. After doing that, says something wrong with the camber and toe on the right side (dunno what is that also). Add another $100 bucks to it to adjust it. sigh...

Ace_t Neutral Newbie June 17, 2003 Share June 17, 2003 Hi, I just switched to Bridgestone Potenza G3. So far so good. Ride is quiet and rather smooth. But then I'm comparing with what I had previously (BF Goodrich--made in Philipines) Absolutely terrible and wears off really fast. (less than 2 yrs) Handling for the G3 is quite good, esp on the expressways and on wet surfaces. Cornering is tight and firm... no skidding or aqua-planning. Considering I take corners at abt 70kmh. But I'm not sure if I kena hai-gong by the tyre shoppe...Paid $92 per tyre. The guy said it was the latest batch and made in jepun. And if it costs $69, then I must have been taken for a ride. However CAS is selling this at $95.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vtim 3rd Gear June 17, 2003 Share June 17, 2003 I've no experience with Pontenza G3 Had 1 set of Falken GRB-II, 3 set of Flaken ST115 on my previous Alfa 33 16v, another set of ST115 on my current Civic Vti & now on Kumho 712 The Kumho 712 is more 'vocal' than the ST115 when doing fast corner Paid $90 each for a 205/55/R15 Kumho 712.
