slash.. bargain... beg...

[DarkLord]

Being trying the Preceda for a while... Quiet and steady!

[Surf2004]

Same here. Just changed to Preceda 205/45/16.

 

Good grip and quiet.

[Soya]

and what price range are you talking about?

i doubt for the price of st115 u can get the F1.

for my 2054516 st115 is $125 ea.

u cannot compare ST115 to F1 lah. diff category altogther. F1s are compared to SO3, PS2, P-Zero, etc and in that company, it's a bargain.

[Protege]

As above.

Why you choose it?

Which is more performance oriented?

True or False?(Stamford has a report on ST115 and CSC2 and they have the same rating)

 

Go for the Preceda, I am on 30k already and its still very good. Wear rate is low and performance and noise level is good. Drove from Malacca back to Singapore at 140km/h in heavy rain also no aquaplaning!!

Hi Surf,

 

I think you should wait for the scrub-in period of about 1000KM first.

Then maybe you can do a review again.

[Surf2004]

Already scrubbed-in for 10days and >1000km liao...still as good !

 

No regret. But I wonder how G3 fare as compared to Preceda...

[Teddi]

Preceda is definitely a better choice over G3 if you are looking at

16" and above.

 

Preceda (Made In Thailand) is second to Goodyear F1 (made In germany)

in terms of performance.

Preceda is a much better tyre. quieter but more importantly lasts much longer. My set has lasted over 70k km and are still relatively quiet compared to other performance tyres. Not to mention the grip is still above average despite the mileage. According to my regular tyre shop guy he says that based on my wear rate I can easily clock another 10+k on these tyres. The reason for such good durability is because they are catered for local road conditions.

 

Expect ST115 to last only about 40k before going quite bald.

 

But! I must admit that based on sidewall design ST115 is really much nicer especially on low profile sizes and have good rim protectors. Preceda's are boring and the rim protector is too small.

 

Cheers!

[Jamesgetz]

great minds think alike... love the ST115 sidewall thread design which looks v aggressive and protrudes more to the side. precedas look more tame.

 

another good thing abt ST115 is the rim protector which bulges outwards and is pretty effective

 

price-wise, i think ST115 is slightly cheaper than precedas

[Assassin]

Already for 13k leow..

 

Pilot Precedas..

 

dump my yoko away...

 

wah.. your yokos that bad ah ?

 

Have you tried the GIII btw ?

[Apollo]

[Jamesgetz]

mind u, tat's an australian website u r look at. the tire market in Australia is prob quite different from here

 

website quoted AU$129 for ST115 195/50/15

 

i got mine for S$85 without even having to bargain

[DarkLord]

Same here. Just changed to Preceda 205/45/16.

 

Good grip and quiet.

Mine's 195/50/R15!

[Mavvy]

yokos darn bad leh.... bad experience with it..

 

GIII not yet.... how izzit ? better than precedas ?

[Zoomer]

M using GIII on my current ride... it seems like a better tire as its more grippy in the dry... for wet performance, I hv gone up to 130km/h on NS without aquaplaning. Bt the downside is the noise. Its slightly noisier than the average tire... BTW my mileage is abt 15k on the GIII n running 205/50R16 n the wear-rate s superb... still looks like new threads to me
