I just changed to FD2 last week, quite good... quite tyres.. previously on stock YOKOHAMA DNA tyres.. used that till 67000KM.. until i realised it balding.. then i changed coz my mechanic told me the tyres are ok before that..

 

FD2 .. i got it at a good price, look for mark at Ban Hin, Defu lane... you can ask him for a gd price.. he got quite some federal tyres for you to choose.. FD2 is quiet tyres.. he got some federal tyres which have more grip= more noisy..

comfy soft sidewall n real quiet, more so than yoko DNA. respectable on NSH @180

How is the grip ? I heard their 595 Evo is sports tires + reasonable noise

I am hesistating between Federal FD2 & Michelin Primacy LC. One is Made-in-taiwan while the other is Thai or PRC. Apparently not many local reviews on FD2. My concern is the availability of getting a replacement if any of the FD2 is damaged. As for Michelin should not be an issue except for its high price.

Because my current re001 are quite noisy after 40k le. so thinking to change to comfy and quiet tyres. i don cup corners and speed also. therefore choosing FD2 and maybe DNA DB. any other recommended shops? TPY cinema shop got sell? Any re001 users find theirs incredibly noisy after 40k?

After 10k km, I gt more noise from the tires and at times quiet if the road surface is smooth.

 

I can expect this fr a performance tyres but I would still want performance tyres on the next change.

TS how long did your re001 lasted u??

[Maroon5]

have to check first if FD2 has your tire size...for mine, 195/55/15 no FD2 so i had to take 595 EVO instead.

looks like comfort tyre to me, dont expect much for handling....

saw looking at these tyres as well... how was it compared to ur previous DNA db??

[Edmundgan]

DNA.. at first.. its quite ok.. but after 35K quite noisy...

 

Changing to FD2.. quiet, handling is quite ok, but i changed to 195/60/15 instead of 195/55/15.. coz no size from the shop i bought from.

 

Am quite happy with the quietness, handling is same as before or shall i say a bit better. price is much more cheaper than DNA which ranges from $95 to $110 a piece

[Rickyokc]

its made china or taiwan? price quote include the gst?

[Bornno1]
