Redliner_sg Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Author Share June 12, 2003 (edited) Anyone used them before? Good or bad, nevermind. I know Firestone brand is the one that can explode But somehow it lasted me about 80k, still going, but almost botak. Very good for my Sunny Express Taxi. For the Bridgestone, i understand its directional, and Bridgestone bought over Firestone. Edited June 12, 2003 by Redliner_sg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear June 12, 2003 Share June 12, 2003 How amount switching to kumho... Cheap and good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Share June 12, 2003 >>I know Firestone brand is the one that can explode That's a generalisation. The exploding tyre was related to ONE model of SUV tyre in the US, which was recalled. That's why your ex-Firestone lasted you all that 80K without exploding. Cheers!

Redliner_sg Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Author Share June 12, 2003 can consider also currently using the Firestone TZ-100 and its pretty lasting Not too much into performance as ah pek already, so sobered down. Used to run Falken GRB 1, with ear plastered to windows kind of grip in carpark rally Basically looking for something, 1. Comfortable, 2. Quiet, 3. Reasonably good wet grip for 150-160km/h on NS Hway, 4. Lasting. No longer need the "Vice-Clamp" kind anymore Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redliner_sg Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Author Share June 12, 2003 i know, and its really exciting that it has that kind of heritage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear June 12, 2003 Share June 12, 2003 Kumho 712 is a bit noisy, but not too noticeable.. But most important of all... It is cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redliner_sg Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Author Share June 12, 2003 rather not want a noisy tyre, need to hear my stereo, otherwise money wasted on that thanks for your suggestion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear June 12, 2003 Share June 12, 2003 maybe you can try to sit in S2P2 or Cool's car.. It will change your mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madarmour Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Share June 12, 2003 Not many drivers need that kind of grip lah! For most ppl, touring tyres offers the best compromise between comfort and performance. If you dun look forward to attack every corner that comes in your way, no need this kind of tyres, right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redliner_sg Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Author Share June 12, 2003 possibly, i am open to new views. How much is it worn? S2P2 or Cool if you are reading this, could you let me know how much your tyres have travelled? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear June 12, 2003 Share June 12, 2003 Think S2P2 should have hit 3000km on his liao.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gadgeter 2nd Gear June 12, 2003 Share June 12, 2003 You are using it too? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redliner_sg Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Author Share June 12, 2003 agreed But sometimes my old ride feels like stretching abit to show that she's not so old, although COE renewed Most of the time nope, already had to sober down alot, my last tyres were the Falken GRB 1 to this Firestone TZ-100, so alot of difference in performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redliner_sg Neutral Newbie June 12, 2003 Author Share June 12, 2003 ai yah, 3000km still very virgin lah, Give it at least 10-15 to get an indication Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
