Aspec DB cannot make it

[Teddi]

I did about 100-110 on the CTE - SLE.. with my SP9000

Really Fanatistic tyres even after 20,000K.

 

Will be trying the new Toyo PROXES T1R for replacement.

haha no lah i mean the owner of the shop in toh yi, not u.. st115 wears out fast? i just changed to those today at ah siao's partner, lian kit.

Oh...h tat Ah siao...hahaha yes the Ah Siao of toh yi he is funny sometimes, with wierd logic on politics....

 

st115...well this was my experience the last time. My previous ride was bought from a guy who had just changed only the front set of tyres (abt 8mths b4), with the rear on almost botak ...so i went to our "favourite" ah siao and got the st115 after some recommendations betw tat and kumho (still yet to try this one..but tat is another thread )

 

anyway, with regular tyre rotation, after 1.5 years later (last month), i noticed that the wear on the st115 was abt the same as the other set (bridgestone, not sure which model though sorry). so tat's just my point abt wear out fast...well maybe should qualify and say wear out faster than bridgestone.... just my opinon

see http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?ti...l=SP+Sport+9000

 

Value for money, good for Conti cars and heavier Jap/Kor cars.

Sorry, I meant local user reviews. I've keep track of that site for quite a while but the reviews are mixed as road and car conditions are vastly different from us.

 

Judging by this forum, it seems most of us play safe and are not so adventurous with lesser known tyres.

 

I for one is very happy with my Ventus K104 from Hankook. Exceptional performance, amazing price. Bo Weh Gong

hmm issit? then i tink shld be fine for me cos i drive slowly n corner slowly too.. ah siao is de one at bkt timah, lian kit is at race course road.. i got 4 2nd hand st115s from them at 45 each.. with abt 80-90% tread left.

[Robin]

not a bad deal leh...last time i call to check pricing, ah seow quote about $75 /piece...but a few ppl mention horror stories about him. have u heard any?

[Yansen]

$75/ pc is cheap wat, if brand new. mine is 2nd hand leh. haha horror stories havent heard any la, just that alot of pple say must keep on bargaining n sometimes must fxxx him to get the lowest price.. haha

Yesterday was raining cats and dogs.....mondy using aspec DB...reali feels v.slippery and aquaplane quite a number of times

 

any comments bro?

 

Heard alot of people made the same comment before also.... quiet but bad during wet weathers...

[Sturtles]

Its quiet below 60kmh

 

Above that, its noisy like all other tires

 

its dry grip is only average, maybe slightly below cuz i e-braked at 30kmh and abs still kicked in. the road was bone dry. banged a car

 

wet grip is horrendous. almost knocked down a jaywalker in the rain. luckily he stopped. abs kicked in like 20 times, tok tok tok until i passed him and in my mind thanked the smart ass for stopping.
