Is Firenza Tyres Good?

[Powerkeong]

Hi bro, just wanted to ask whether Firenza Tyres is good and what country are they come from and made. I just bought a 2nd hand car and it comes with this tyres.

[Powerkeong]

My tyres is 15" Firenza ST03

[Siewss]

I suggest you ditch them for better tires.

 

ST-03 has buttery grip in the wet. I changed mine after skidding a couple of times while stopping and ...get this... accelerating on semi-slicked road.

bro im on ST-03 for 2 yrs liao...its made in japan.

to b honest, these are budget tyres.

if u r the non chiong, normal pt A to pt B driver, these tyres are good enough. they hv served me well.

[Powerkeong]

Personally I found the tyres to be ok, except it v bumpy when ima travelling on high speed. Actually I dunno what's installed on my car. I bought it 2nd hand and i dun really know what actually is good or bad about my car. lol...

[Maroon5]

check the tyre pressure bro...15" you can put 210 - 220 psi.

when u drive high speed, got any vibration on steering wheel?

also check the mfg date on the tyre...sometimes 2nd hand dealers jus lup any cheap tyres on or previous owner may hv alr dekit to cheap tyres.

 

haha...what car did u buy?

I got myself a Hyundai Verna 1.6A... Tested the FC already. So far I achieved 10-11km/l respectively.. I just pumped 230psi to the Firenza Tyres, coz I heard over-inflated tyres by 10% can save fuel.

 

No vibration on steering wheel.. just that when go over uneven road, the suspension quite unbearable.. Thinking of changing tyres and rim but all the stuff looks v new. Mileage only 11,700km when I took over. 2 year exactly. Ride was quite silent when crusing. Previous owner did sound proofing, solar flim and visor for the ride. also got blue lights under the seat. quite cool at night.

 

I can see the previous owner dekit his amplifer. I got a old Alpine Amplifer from my friends previous car, I wan to put it into my car. Dunno where can get it done.

these tires are not very grippy. u still over inflate them? not i very wise move i think.

 

stick to 200-210kpa will do.

 

btw 230psi i think ur tires wouldnt be on the car already. its kpa.

do a search on the word firenza n u can find out a lot of things....

Mostly I hear bad stories about Firenza. Better not to test your luck.

My friend threw away the Firenza (not sure what model) only about 5k. He cannot stand the lack of grip which turns out to be downright dangerous for him....and he's not chiong type.

 

He had used many other tyres before, but none of them is as bad.

ya.. budget tyres..

and it wears out v fast.. get ready to change new tyres in 2yrs or less.

and also, got v noisy in less than 3mths..

I m on these tyres for two yrs on my previous verna.So far no problems at all but verna suspension is built to be these way.

[Maroon5]

hehe...sounds like a nicely done ride

if the tyres are also 11k mileage, then they are stil low enuff to cont using...but if u wanna play safe, can drive to tyre shop n ask them take a look at the thread balance...

 

for your amp, unless u hv component speakers on the car, otherwise dun waste the money installing the amp...effect wont b much on stock speakers...
