115

 

read reviews online..the ST-115 seems very good leh..good grip in both wet and dry..grooves look resistant to aquaplaning..and it's darn quiet as compared to other of it's same class..

 

only downside is the tire rate is horrible..around 35000 km wear out liao..and cannot drive in snow city..

[Furrynadz]

i dun even keep tyre past 25000km

[Shull]

you everyday chiong track isit?

 

my driving habits is slightly aggresive..so dun think it will wear out fast..

 

anyway, was looking at the ZE512 also..stamford quoted me for $126 per piece..any comments on the 512?

[Bentwy]

512 for street driving is quite grippy for both dry and wet. road feel is also very good. but VERY noisy in my opinion after 1st 10K. currently on gr80 - noise level difference is a lot. take 512s only if you can bear with the noise and drop in ride comfort.

 

I realise falkens have pretty good reviews in US based forums. I don't think they are that good over here.

[Shull]

basket, has been on GR-80 for the past 60-70k...the noise getting unbearable liao..

 

anyway, except for the winter there..i dont think there is much difference in the driving conditions in US..or rather, they get more extreme conditions as compared to us..so IMO, if the tyres lasted there, they should have no prob here..

 

after doing some more research online, i've narrowed down my choice to 3 models..all falkens.. ST115, ZE512 and ZE329

 

the ZE329 is touted as the ZE512 replacement..and offers better performance as compared to ZE512

well... i think you really should ask falken users in singapore about their opinion. you used your gr80s for 60K and then it became unbearable? i used my 512s till 10K before they became unbearable.

 

i think 60K is really good already.

 

but it's your call of course. perhaps the 329s are better, but i wouldn't be counting on them being lasting.

 

why not try toyo t1r? or pp2?

[Furrynadz]

i just value my life

[Shull]

PP2 also toyo?

[Shull]

[Furrynadz]
