Wish69 2nd Gear October 10, 2017 Share October 10, 2017 did your tyre burst? it's always good to call up a few shops to check on the price first before committing. the tyre profile does not determine whether it is from a PI or AD. mine is from Thailand. Yup...my PS3 rear tyre side wall crack so beyond repair. I'm not sure same agent tyre but 215/45/17($165) vs 215/50/17($235) have so much price different. Maybe someone can enlighten. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone can enlighten. 215/45-17 is a common size,many Japanese/Korean Cars used this size,215/50-17,less model used..hence more expensive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish69 2nd Gear October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 Is it true that comparatively ps3 side wall is thinner? The side wall crack is due to a punture and I dragged about 1km to petrol station. Haha Moreover, my tyre is more than 2 years old with 55k km milage. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altis72 3rd Gear October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 Was it due to under inflation issue? Just asking... I pump 250-260 usually for 18". Dun think it was an inflation issue AD or PI ? To be honest I am not sure. The PS3 tyres (225/40/18) were from Yap Bros at Paya Ubi and the person in charge Jennifer claimed the tyres were AD stock but made in Europe. I think that's a good price leh. How much is the F1A3 in comparison? I bought the F1A3 (made in Germany) from Leong Seng when it was newly launched. The cost was $185/tyre. Believe the price has dropped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorco 2nd Gear October 12, 2017 Share October 12, 2017 Same. Can hear the noise from PS4. @altis72 F1A3 vs PS4, any feedback? Sport tires always noisy. Becos of the Wide thread. My ps4 become quite noisy after first few thousand km. Not the noisiest tyres i had, just nosier than avg. Performance of tyres is good. Why i change if good? Cos i never use the same tyre model twice. Always experimenting. Same. Always trying around. Diff one. Cos the first few batch are alway the best. Later ones normally get losusier just like cars. New always plenty of stuff. After FL model they start removing stuff or lesser equipment. Someone told me the difference is the ply. Maybe that has an effect.Rubber formula diff between eu and Asia. Ply should be the same. Don't think they wanna risk blow up. Someone told me the difference is the ply. Maybe that has an effect.Rubber formula diff between eu and Asia. Ply should be the same.

Because someone mentioned it, that's why I am trying to seek confirmation. Like previously my dilemma between 91V and 94W, now that I changed to 94W, I can no longer can use back the default pressure. I would say my preference is 91v. I hope someone can post a clear pic of the sidewall of the european PS4 so that I can take a look and compare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
