[Bcyn]

hmm... all i can say is i didnt had a very good experince with the s-drive. 3 mths on my car. thats it. i decided to remove it.

 

now on re 001. currently still ok.

[Dynaway]

i heard the scrub in period is pretty long.... more than 500km.

 

can u share ur not so good experience????

 

 

i'm still leaning towards firestone wideoval..... jus tat the joker shop keep telling me no stock in sg.... wat the heck.

[Bcyn]

i think my was already scrubbed in when i got it 2nd hand frm a friend.

i didnt perform as well as i expected compared to the agressive thread design. aquaplaned a few times.

 

the last straw was the tires slipped during a wet day at the carpark exit of amk hub.

 

jus my 2 cents.

[Redplanet]

Was on Yoko C-drive before changing to Fire WideOval.....195/60R15...

 

Made in Japan vs Thailand....

 

So far satisfied with my WideOvals, good grip in both dry & wet conditions. Noticed steering much lighter after change though..Comfort still ok.

 

No complaints since only $84/pc @ CDGE...

[Dynaway]

i also jus changed to 195/50R15 Wideoval...... seems like the steering is lighter..... i was on 185/55R14 Federal 595...

 

a lot more quite than the federals i had....

I'm on S-Drive for almost 7 months liao and it's still performing within my expectation

 

Mine is a 215/45R17

wideoval is just another production from bridgestone ... only that it is a old design n tech from last time bridgestone.
