I rememeber I was coming back fm overseas trip @ Changi AP. I was allocated a gleaming white Merc Cab. Wow, that's a nice change for once. As I got in, realised it quite well spec for cab (suay ku as I dun take cabs except fm AP and 1st time in Merc cab). Nice leather seats, digital dash, reat A/C vents etc etc

 

Once we got on ECP, my gawd. The tyre noise with terrible, even noisier they semi slicks that I've used before. I asked the taxi uncle how old his Merc taxi was; he told me tyres on a Merc cab . What rubbish. Told the taxi uncle to complain to his company how can they award the business to such lousy Pdts on a Merc cab

 

I dunno what series it was as I had luggage to lug and it was dark. All I know it was GT tyres and I'm not touching them with a 10 ft pole

bro, dun waste ur $ on tis tyres.......crap tyres......kanna swt talk into buying by tat famous tyre shop in bukit timah!!!!!! used 3 days......dumped it!!!!!!!!!!

 

Falken is much better...though Falken is oso crap.....

my 2cent worth!!!!!!

[Abba]

aiyo, I know GT are noisy but didn't know that bad

 

The last Falken that I liked was GRB Tune II, that tyre was good in dry & wet. ST115 replace it, it was a totally wrong move; rubbish tyre that only after 40% wear, noise was tremendous, uneven wear, poor wet dry. Junked them. FK451 was no better, totally noisy.

Can afford the car, can't afford the tyres

[Cbx750p]

I would put Japanese tires ( made in Japan) tires on my wheels because I know the Japanese sipei on the ball type to ensure quality and reliability. Tires that comes from a country known only for it's stinking clove cigarettes, is not desireable at all. I wouldn't want these tires on my wheels even if they supply it free to me ! Forget it, my wheels cost more than their stupid tires ! Will consider Korean or Thais but Indonesian, forget it !

[Abba]

hahaha, second that

Talking about Federal, recently tagged along a friend who was changing tyres and I saw an uncle getting a set of Federal Formoza FD1 for his Camry.

 

The profile is 205/60/R16 and I saw the words "M+S" on the tyres.

 

Mud and snow tyre for S'pore type of weather and driving condition?

[EventH]

Perhaps that uncle like to take his camry to some country side romp in M'sia, or he could be contractor that work at construction site. No point getting UHP or max perf tires and have them rot in such conditions.

[Boyboy]

nothing wrong with M+S tyres wad...

[Abba]

Mud + Snow what for ?

 

I'll love to see snow here, so damn hot. Maybe uncle go off road got mud

 

Typically M+S tyres not suitable for our weather as they are menat for lower temp. Wonder if it'll blow out with prolonged high speed driving along NSHW
