Phalanx Neutral Newbie April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 Urm...how did you check the firmness of the sidewall? You kicked your tyres ah? I thought the way to test the firmness was to go to the tyre shop, and just press and twist on the sidewall to feel it. So far, I feel that Pirelli and Continental have soft sidewalls, same goes with Michelin. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 Yep, CSC sucked in the wet, but the CSC2 overcomes some of the negative qualities of the CSC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx Neutral Newbie April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 But the G3 is really firm leh... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched April 3, 2003 Author Share April 3, 2003 Actually I did ! I kicked and pounded on the tyres.... But I also did feel the sidewalls at the shop beforehand, and yes, they were quite firm, but not as firm as the G3s. You can still twist the sidewalls a bit. But this is subjective tho...as to what we classify as firm. So best is still to feel the tyres for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

French_porn Neutral Newbie April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 (edited) ok.I could get those michelin tyres at slightly better price. Get to know some agent. Only genuine buyers,pls PM me. But they only sell tyre but they never fix for u. got to get your shop to fix it to your rims. But this is no promise. I check it out for u guys. PM u the price and u can compare it.

Phalanx Neutral Newbie April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 You're right about firmness being subjective though One day must go to tyre shop and their tyres and see whether soft or not... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assassin Clutched April 3, 2003 Author Share April 3, 2003 One day must go to tyre shop and their tyres and see whether soft or not...

Johnniboy Clutched April 3, 2003 Share April 3, 2003 Thanks for ur reply. What I worry is the tyre shop will charge higher laboor cost if u bring in for own tyre for replacement, just like those workshop if if bring in ur oil and parts for servicing.

Phalanx Neutral Newbie April 4, 2003 Share April 4, 2003 Yah, usually I give them early warning first....but sometimes use pre-emptive strike on the tyres Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Clutched April 4, 2003 Author Share April 4, 2003 (edited) I dont...I just use the 'hit first talk later' technique. Sometimes I get the reaction from them when I do it. Otherwise when they turn their backs...use 'stealth strike' tecnique. Too bad got no kakis to go tyre shop together, then one person can have a deception attack somewhere asking about rims and then other person will strike at the tyre terok terok.
