i'm currently on falken ze912 tyres as it came wif my 2nd hand vios..went to stamford tyres yesterday and was told tat per piece was ard $78 for 195/50/15..they seems to be pretty good tyres but i cant gauge as they already used when i got them.

 

i was thinking of changing back to ze912 however it seems the review isnt too fantastic. i'm more concern abt the followings:

 

1. handling in wet conditions

2. thread wear rate

 

comparing ze912 and eagle f1, which is a better buy? cuz they are ard the same price.

 

as for re001 vs s-drive, i posted previously but not much replies..i understand they are in the region of $110-$120/pc and i haf good experience wif re001 previously. i dun drive hard these days as i'm driving an AT car nw..would it be an overkill to buy re001/s-drive?

 

for ur inputs! :)

If you dont' chiong, ze912 is sufficiently enough in wet / dry conditions.

Wear rate is good at 480 (i think)

Downside is noise and its a little hard since the sidewall is stiffer

if u want some thing cheap , and can use , 912 no problem, if u concern about noice, f1 even more noisy, althrough 912 also noisy .

 

if u prepared to pay abit, might as well go high end, re001, dun settle for something in the middle like s.drive .

i would say 912 is sufficient for normal users. driven at more den allowed speed at NSHW. at moments in rain. gd enuf. if mostly in spore, i would more then gd enuf. save the money for something else. but of cos if money is of no issue, buy the one that will set ur mind at ease.

Im a happy user of 912. so far, i dont have problem using it in SG road, i nvr had any problem driving it below 110km/hr during rain. However, anything above that... i really cant comment.

100/pc is value for money i believe... in terms of grip, as per compared to my prev aspec db, i am able to corner +5km faster....

Although i'm not sure how much the others in ur list cost, i'm quite sure they cost more [laugh]

It depends on TS budget and needs.... some ppl want grip which means more noise.... some ppl want a balance of both

RE001 is a very good tire. If you don't mind the price, i would encourage you to get it. For me, i don't mind paying for expensive tire if they serve my purpose and safety aspect.

may i suggest a little off point

 

i can see that u dont need a top notch performance tyre but would still like

 

good grippy tires at a nice price.

 

how about u forget the branding and try either

 

accelera tyres or federal 595, there are raving reviews for the 595 and i think only around 85 per pc or thereabouts.

or federal 595,

 

Federal the Taiwanese brand? Sorry, but I wouldn't recommend it [:|] . Bad personal experience - it got uneven wear causing bad vibration just after 4 months and had to be replaced - even my mechanic who initially recommended it also regretted. Now I am on ze912 and am very happy. No problem whatsoever.

yeah, althrough i dun like 912, but i still believe its better then federal =.= . but different ppl might have different experience or review about it though, just ,my 2 cents.

good tyres are never an overkill as they are the only contact on the road

 

i tried F1, RE001 and S drive before

 

F1 - very noisy, cheap and good. Cheapest of this 3...wear rate the lowest

 

S drive - less noiser than F1, good value for its price. However, more ex than F1 = should be lost to f1 but better than re001

 

RE001 - LEast noisy. very grippy tyres, but most pricey of the 3

 

i am on my 2nd sets of RE001

 

never regret buying these tyres....
