Ghostami 2nd Gear April 2, 2011 Share April 2, 2011 V12 is definitely better than T1R.. I used to be on T1R as well, but gave V12 a try and never regret it. Its cheaper than T1R but performance wise is definitely better. As for wear rate cannot compare at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donut Supercharged April 2, 2011 Share April 2, 2011 I'm on 595 now, close to using it for 16000km. It's quite good actually. Never give any problem. Wet, dry all ok. Cornering ok too. At least my car never skid at all, unlike some jokers here talk abt blaming their tyres when they skidded. I seriously doubted their driving skills more than their tyres. I drove up and down to KL on 140km/hr, and I'm still alive here. 595, when it's new on yr car, will give a Wong Wong noise. But after 1k or 2k km, it will go away. It's normal. Noise level, I must say it's comparable to most other tyres. I was using eagle f1. So Im qualified to say something abt noise level. If it's within yr budget, go for it.

Ohlins Neutral Newbie April 2, 2011 Share April 2, 2011 you can also try kumho ku31, ku36 i am currently on 595, approx 31,000 km..... dry grip definitely more than adequate, wet performance on straight no prob but no pushing in the corners...

Breadandwater April 2, 2011 Share April 2, 2011 I am a snob. I might tolerate Federal but prefer Continental, Pirelli, Goodyear, Dunlop. Certainly not MIC tyres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takumi21 2nd Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 my friends and i tried 595 b4.. den switch to duro dp8000.. everyone felt that duro is a much better tyres compare to 595.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 (edited) I was on 595 before and now on T1R. Without a doubt, I will definitely go back T1R. Edited April 3, 2011 by Yuan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T1R not cheap right? made in japan.. if i not wrong, a 16 inch T1R need $165 per piece? i have another frn recommend AD08.. but i think it damn expensive.. hahaa.

Ken4555 1st Gear April 3, 2011 Author Share April 3, 2011 ditch 595... cannot compare with T1R... no horse run... cheaper alternative... Yoko S drive... but noisy... i understand... but daily drive car mah... so i am considering a cheaper alternative.... as for noise level it is very subjective to tyre size, road condition and car make... so noise is no problem/issue to me...

Donut Supercharged April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 Since it's just a daily drive car, just take 595. Won't go wrong, provided it's cheaper than other options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its cheaper than T1R but performance wise is definitely better. As for wear rate cannot compare at the moment. V12 my bro just changed he says the side walls very soft (18")... actually T1Rs are ultra performance tyres... v12 no bah... i have no doubt t1Rs are better than v12... but i guess maybe different car and different pressure makes a diff... i would get t1Rs again but its gonna cost me $700 over dollars... if i get a cheap brand but performance tyre.. only need to spend only $300+ still recovering from overspending in Feb...
