Stary Supercharged May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 Hi guys, My nearby petrol kiosk wanted to sell me a set of almost new but used BF Goodrich tyres for 90 bucks each. It's the g-force sport model... I have not heard of this brand before... Is this good? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stary Supercharged May 31, 2005 Author Share May 31, 2005 yeah..that's why better come and ask first.... My optra Yokohama stock tyre is already more than a year old and more than 30,000km liow. Thinking of changing for safety reasons. What will you guys recommend? I prefer quiet tyres, performance not so much although I drive mostly around 100-110km/h. Give me some estimated price for your recommendation too so that I dun kena chop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Clutched May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 dude.. complete new ones abt S$ 70+ to 80+. ok, they increase price recently. now the new price shld ard $90-$100. But as long as they are used... they are "used". 90 bucks... might as well top up abit get new ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Clutched May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 this brand is under Michelin, made in thailand. i am currently using them now. 195/55/15. so far so good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 You like quiet? Forget BFG gFS. They are considered to be on the performance end. Like any performance tire, noisy. I suggest you look towards BS GIII. It is more of a touring tire than a performance tire actually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin 4th Gear May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 sorry bro, so far i only tried falken ST115... 30k & u want to change liao? did u check the % thread left? my mileage also 31k, but my tyres still got like 60% thread leh personally i feel that it's wet/dry grip is very good. noise wise may be a little loud, but i go for performance/grip. price range wise for new ones should be around $85/pc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen2 Neutral Newbie May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 Talking about ST115, I still cannot decide between BS GIII and ST115. Anybody can elaborate more on the pro and con of these 2 tyres, should be changing my tyres in the next two weeks. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin 4th Gear May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 sorry cant comment on BS GIII , but to me ST115 is value for my $$ see its specs here http://www.stamfordtyres.com/tpl/products_...zenisst115.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddriver 4th Gear May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 i have tried BFG,ST512 n ST115..in term of noise level,both are quite the same..i take BFG for its grip..ST115 n ST512 for me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EventH 1st Gear May 31, 2005 Share May 31, 2005 In out sort of climate ... I think tyres don't last as long. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elantrahatch Neutral Newbie June 3, 2005 Share June 3, 2005 New BFG should cost S$85 for 195/55/R15. In terms of noise, to me, still bearable. I rather live with loud noise then lousy rubbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czchome Neutral Newbie June 3, 2005 Share June 3, 2005 St115 is cheaper and to me is the best tyre in that price range. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czchome Neutral Newbie June 3, 2005 Share June 3, 2005 yes same as me "i rather live with loud noise then lousy rubbers". ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
