Hi ladykillerz, looking for GR90 for 195/60/R15 recently, got a quote at $145/pc. Please PM me if you have better lobang. Thank you.

 

that is crazy for a tyre price [knife]

Good choice with the RE001!

 

My RE001s only lasted me up to about 25000km (Reached thread wear indicator)

 

Grip was great in the wet and dry when new. Wearing was very even, given I had negative camber.

 

Had 5 nail punctures on these set of rubber since I got them last year. Tyre shop said it's perhaps due to the softer compound of the rubber that picks up nails easily.

However, due to the stiff sidewalls, I was always able to drive to the nearest tyre shop to repair (even when pressure was down to only 90Kpa)

 

 

Changing to RE002 these few days cos I feel these tyres are no longer giving me the confidence in the wet...

 

I was wondering if I could still push these tyres for another 10000km?

if you want real quiet go for gr90 (best lower noise tyre)

if you want some performance go for re001 (best lower noise tyre also got some comfort)

hi, i've changed my front 2 tyres to RE001 just last week and i must say it's a great pair of tyres. Noise were significantly reduced as compared to my previous economical Falken tyres. Dry and wet grips are definitely way better than the Falken that I had and quieter too. i changed it at Soh Brothers (AMK Ave 10) for S$130 per tyre, very good price! will be changing the rear 2 tyres this month end too..
