Give Yokohama AD08 a try. I ran it in the previous 335. Phenomenal grip!

 

Ok I just might.

not sure if Yoko has the size?

[Throttle2]

I gathered these pics that you are P cars owner for a while. Or may be better put that you have owned performance macques for a while. Have a good day.

 

 

Ooops, haha, have had the chance to drive many different 911s but not formally own them.....

 

 

[Throttle2]

Thanks for the feedback. I always regret dragging my tires for longer than possible mileage, esp the rear tires. Hope to better judge when to change. Bec of the neg camber, the tires are usually wore out from the inside. How to tell when to change? Thanks.

 

 

You should rotate your tyres, left to right (since staggered) every 5000km to even out the wear...

Is it possible to rotate staggered tires? Was told otherwise. Thanks.

[Porker]

Is it possible to rotate staggered tires? Was told otherwise. Thanks.

 

Why not? As long as the front tyres remain in front and same goes for the rear. But not sure if it helps at all.

but only left to right - right to left

front with front , rear with rear.

Any friendly tire shop to recommend for rotation? Thanks.

Yeah - but the tyres are probably directional......so rotate left to right also cannot.

directional is not problem. rotate left to right is fine. still going the same direction.

 

unless it's asymetric and directional meant specifically for each rim location, then cannot rotate.....

 

thats my understanding.

anyone got differnt understanding?

Thanks. I have gotten get my tires from Hurry before, sincere folks. Chin Wah is good but getting a parallel parking in front of the shop is harder than getting a parking ticket.

Mr Tan is passing the business to his son Tristan slowly.

Normally, I think directional in tire terms means it must be oriented in correct direction, I think. But can look at the tires whether it is directional.

 

Normally, for typical summer tires, they are usually not directional, so people can switch how you like, to save cost. But for performance tires, must see. the last one I had is directional.

Just curious, how come u guys still persist in using RFT when in singapore getting stranded isnt that big of a deal?

 

I didnt like the stiffness of the RFT to begin with and after fatally injuring a side wall just going over an unseen porthole ( quoted 800 bucks for an 18" bridgestone), i just replaced all 4 tyres with eagle f1s and havent looked backed since. Paid about another 200 bucks for a bmw emergency tyre repair kit to chuck into the boot and thats it.

 

Any reason why u guys persist with the RFTs?

performance tyres are mostly directional .

becos to get the most out of the performance, the tread patterns must be specifically cut to achieve the best results going in one direction.

 

that is also the reason why the very high performance tyres cannot be rotated. left rear means left rear. cannot swop left rear to right rear....
