I was on the right lane on bukit timah road going towards cavenagh. Saw a black 997 with a familiar set of rims. Guessed it must have been u!

I was just driving past autobahn, think between 2-3pm on my way home. Saw anything you like at Autobahn?

Err.... yes...Black...parked close to the main road?

[Mamamia]

Yes it is covered.

You can get it replaced.

 

Tyre wall cracking can be no big deal or it can be a damn big deal so dont gamble on it.

Do get it replaced.

 

I have used Goodyear Eagle F1 on my 525i and 630i, never experienced any tyre wall cracking.

These are the ones made in germany.

 

The ones made in Germany have this issue of cracking. On my previous Audi, the damn tires cracked and I ran it only for 3k kms. I got it exchanged but only 3 months later.

Common occurance.

Nice cars but bad pricing.

Mostly on consignment so make sure dont get chopped.

Totally opposite experience from mine Dude.

 

My assessment of the situation though, is that the tyres that crack could hv been warehoused for too long in a low humidity environment. Happens to all things rubber. The pliability reduces and becomes "brittle"

 

But tyre walls cracking could be just on the surface or the "skin"

Thats fine. If the cracks are deep then gotta really be careful.

Storage of Sheet Rubber Products

 

Rubber products in storage can be adversely affected by the following items:

 

Temperature

Humidity

Ozone

Sunlight

Oils

Solvents

Corrosive liquids and fumes

Insects and rodents

Radiation

 

The warehousing area should be relatively cool, dark and free from dampness and mildew. All items should be stored on a first-in, first-out basis, since even under these conditions, an unusual length of shelf life could deteriorate certain products.

 

The ideal storage temperature for rubber products of 50 to 70 degrees F with a maximum limit of 100 degrees F. If stored below 32 degrees F, some products may become stiff and should be warmed before being placed into service.

 

Rubber products should not be stored near sources of heat, such as radiators and base heaters. Rubber products should not be stored under conditions of high or low humidity.

 

To protect against the adverse affects of ozone, rubber products should not be stored near electrical equipment that may generate ozone and should not be stored for any lengthy period in geographical areas of known high ozone.

 

Conditions of direct and reflected sunlight should also be avoided. Whenever feasible, rubber products should be stored in their original shipping containers, especially when such containers are wooden crates or cardboard cartons, since this will provide protection against the deteriorating effects of oils, solvents, and corrosive liquids; and will also afford some protection against sunlight.

 

Certain rodents and insects thrive on rubber products, so adequate protection should be provided from them.

Nothing really, was coming from Novena Sq, heading to Bras Basah, low on fuel, so right turn to Shell,

roundabout, decided to drop by, saw that Carrera, Targa and 308. Boh lui lah, just see for the sake of pissing

my wife off. Yeah, prices lousy, still a good time viewing.

Nah..brand new....YOM was 2 mths ago before they cracked. Goodyear knew about it and changed all 4 for me. Claims to be batch problem.

Oh.....

At least they were steady about it.

I think it is batch problem, the fact that i hv never experienced it having used goodyear eagle F1s 3 times previously.

In the beginning no. They were saying my car has negative camber and insisted all cars should run 0 or positive camber. What bull.

Later when the Goodyear HQ ppl came into picture, they were more steady and admit its their fault. In the end, got the tires swapped and even wrote a detailed review for them on their website.

20k km is quite good. I don't think the rears on my 991 will last more than 15k km. Any reason why you are not getting Michelin PSS (pilot super sports)? A lot of people in the P-car community swear by it.

 

One question on Michelin PSS. Was told PSS does not has N spec, only PS2 has N spec. Is it true? Any comments on PSS, PS2 or PS3? Thanks.

Am currently using Pilot sport 2 N2.

Pretty OK, no complaints.

Grips confidently, no tail spins, yet.

 

USed Pilot sport many years ago for my BMW coupe as well.

I wouldnt say I'm impressed, just not disappointed.

 

In terms of grip and feel, I like Pirelli Pzeros best.

but they only last 10,000km before i cant take the tyre road noise...really bad

PSS are not N spec but they are still prefered to either PS2s or Pirelli Pzeros which are both N spec.

how much for a set of 19" Super Sports?

Are they cheaper than the Sport2?

Thanks for the feedbacks. Any idea the cost diff btw the PSS & PS2? Any comment on PS3? Thanks.
