Ken4555 1st Gear April 3, 2011 Author 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. if my size 595 can get $100 and below i will surely try them (205/55/16) but is there more than one model for 595s? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itsec 2nd Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 (edited) 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... S drive nosier than T1R... the wong wong wong sound will not go away on 595... unless ur tire close to botak.. i'm from stock to T1R.. then to 595...follow by nt5k and now S drive... 595 i lose grip 2x.. on corners.. 1 is close encounter and 2nd is lucky... anyway, there's a thread on 595... all answers are there...

Ghostami 2nd Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 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... Your bro ass got problem... T1R wall harder Next time we come out for kopi I share with you why I say V12 is better. T1R grip wise compare to V12 on a scale to 10, T1R gets a 8 I give V12 a 9. I use nurmous set of T1R and after using this V12, I definitely will ditch T1R. Its an overrated tire for its price. As for 595 I will skip that.

Yuan 6th Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 i also fan of T1Rs... but wanna try cheaper brands of performance tyres... maybe just as good on the streets... also wanna see hows the thread wear... Bro, don't skim on tyres. They are your only contacts on the roads. Not that I am asking you to get super good tyres la. If you like T1R and used to having them, then get back the same ones. Since you overspend in Feb, then overspent again this month. Then recoup back by not spending the next 6 months loh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yuan 6th Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 595 i lose grip 2x.. on corners.. 1 is close encounter and 2nd is lucky... anyway, there's a thread on 595... all answers are there... I had similar encounters but not on corners. Happened on wet straight roads along CTE under speed limits. The tyres were pumped and checked fortnightly at Hankook. Dumped them after that for another brand of tyres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowrx8 Clutched April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 I'm on 595RSR.... Bought it to SIC b4, it warms up pretty fast! And i need to reduce the air pressure many times. Nv spin b4 at the track, i think u need to set the correct pressure n warm up b4 u start to push these tires. Overall, i think its worth the $ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used before RE001, T1R and I can tell you, these 2 tyres are all that I buy. Saw so many reviews about V12s so I gave it a try and after trying out for around 3k, what I find is that it is much better than T1R. The side walls are definitely harder but if you compare to RE001, its quite a difference when you go into a corner with it, but comparing it with T1R, it beats it anytime. As for grip, RE001 loses to T1R, and now I find that V12s beats T1R alittle, doing some testing on it, be it in wet or dry conditions. As for wear, as the thread wear is same as T1R I think its gonna be around there, 30k or so. I change tires every year due to my job nature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruzhyo Clutched April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 How all these compare to RE11? I am on RE11 and before on F1 (Thai and German). Looking to change new set soon. RE11 almost 1 yr and almost botak.... Looking for cheaper tyres. Maybe go back to F1 (thai). RE11 in the wet CMI. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sg2303 2nd Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 got 595RS 595evo 595ss i used 595evo b4.. Still got 595RPM. I'm currently on 595RPM 215/45/17 , previously on CSC2 205/45/17. The only difference I can tell is CSC2 performs better through puddles better than 595RPM. For instance, at 90km/h, 595RPM cuts water with a little wobble in the steering wheel but CSC2 cuts with absolute stability. Not sure if this is because of the difference in width. The rest I cannot comment much as I'm pretty oblivious to the other differences like noise etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blublak 3rd Gear April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 using 595 evo..value for money for me laa. not sure bout others. reason being tire wear and tear. a cheaper alternative. was using yokohama s drive before tiz..a pretty decent tyre. obviously better than made in china ones...haha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(balls abit srink)... b ut sharp 90degree turns at junctions with zebra crossings filter lanes fast speed sure will screech abit... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerkeong Neutral Newbie April 3, 2011 Share April 3, 2011 For my 3 yrs of driving experience, I used 4 types of tyres before and I wan to say the differences between this 4: Firenza ST-03: This tyre is simply crap. Noisy, and bad grip during wet. I skidded once before deciding to change to Falken ZE-912. Falken ZE-912: This tyre is still noisy, but the grip is improved significantly. I paid $65 for it at 195/50 R15 so no regret. Furthermore, it lasted me for more than 40K KM. Yokohama S Drive: This tyre has all the grip in the world on dry road but on wet, it actually quite unpredictable. Try to play an Estima on a heavy downpour from TPE to KJE and skidded abit when going over a big pool of water. Still as noisy as Falken ZE-912 and mileage is 30+ K before it become botak. I pay $95 for each of them and I sort of regret having it. Would rather go for Falken ZE-912 Federal 595 Evo: The quietest tyre I had ever used to date. Grip was ok too. Can't say too much on the wear n tear as it is still brand new but I should say, it is quiet for a performance tyre ! Sidewall is rather soft though. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
