[Stinkray]

I don't know what has changed since 2002. I had it in 2002 and find it to be good, but expensive. After that, I think the local dealer stopped importing it until recently.

u might wanna try hankook V8, heard alot of good reviews bout it.

 

wide ovals are good too. pricing is good!

 

if u dont mind noise den go for gy f1s

Thai made Eagle F1 now quality not as good as those made in Germany..

 

wet traction of eagle F1 is good till 130Km/h niah, the V groove can push water sideways but when the rotation is too high, water is not able to channel away from the tyres effectively creating "floating" sensation.

 

Try northsouth highway in heavy rain at speed > 150Km/h and you will get to know what I mean..

seriously you gamble your life in this condition...i believed TPs balls will shrink even though their vehicles are well-fitted and well-trained...pls do not end up as a wandering soul on the road waiting for loved ones to shout your name to come back.....

y the hell u wanna go at such speed???

 

heavy rain and such speed, no matter wad rubber u use also dangerous lah...

My PP2 under raining condition (not downpour) still very safe up to 150km/h.

Michelin rocks....

 

I feel they are worth every penny ! Especially, PP2 and PS2

 

Eagle F1, German or no no

[Robo]

my eagle f1 also good to go at that spd. but if u compare e price. guess which one is more worth it.

 

mayb its just me. im not willing to spend so much on something i can get at a cheaper price, with similar ,comparable or even better quality.

I always know that Eagle F1 is good in d wet. However, i heard that it's performance in d dry is not so good. As my ka mileage is usually quite low, i may hav to stuck wif it for 2 yrs if i don't like it.

 

Meanwhile i hav used PP2 b4 & i m comfortable wif it. So, i will stick wif it.

 

For me, buying tyre is like buying shoe. i hav to b comfortable wif it.

[Robo]

i must agree that dry abit lose out. tried my friend's ad07 for a few days straight. ad07's dry rd

 

well.. as long as one is comfortable with the tyre and the price of it i guess its best to stick with their preference. im still in the midst of trying wads e best for my driving style. maybe after a few more tyres den i will find one that is suitable for me

The Mechilin Primacy (make in Italy) are very good and hard wearing tyres, fitted as standard on my ride and run for more than 45k (only 50% wear). Changed out as I upgraded to bigger rims and have been running Mechilin Vivacy now. Both wet and dry handlng are good.
