Beehive3783 Turbocharged May 21, 2010 Share May 21, 2010 Heavier tyres will almost burn your pocket due to increase in FC. A friend changed to a heavier tyres and immediately noticed the increase in consumption. Again, I wonder whether you guys do weight the tyres before purchase? Regards, I didn't even know when I got the tires. Only know that I was on extremely tight budget at the time and had to settle for them. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuan 6th Gear May 22, 2010 Share May 22, 2010 But extremely noisy. I think I will be switching to Kumho KU31 on my next tire change The noise level is stil acceptable to me considering that my brakes are also not OEM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear May 22, 2010 Share May 22, 2010 ================= Do they get noisy quickly? Oh I got the answer from some of the other postings here already. The noise level is quite subjective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, I am monitoring my FC now and it looks a bit consuming. Downside to it is that the tires bring more stability to my ride. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mini-itx Clutched May 23, 2010 Share May 23, 2010 Ok my apology if I misled you. Im asking for recommendation as my subject heading suggest. Dont focus too much on my 41k or 41km Well, if you want good grip, you sacrifice durability. Softer compounds offer better grip but won't last. If you want lasting tyres, you have to sacrifice grip. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
