so fast on the dragon? wow... it's pretty new yah..

 

okay... PM me where you got it? Price is $195 for 16"?

 

i'm on ST115... 10k only, but wear rate for the 115 is notoriously fast for a heavy car...

 

probably need to change by 20k

[Assassin]

Yep, its pretty new. You should be able to get it from most authorised Pirelli tyre shops.

 

You've got PM !

Concur with yr review on N2000. Really jialat on wet conditions, on certain roads during wet, slight tap on brakes will induce slide, quite frightening but surprisingly, little hydroplaning effects and can also corner well. Dry no complaints! And the price no complaints as well!

[Rev_zone]

Vey huge different man !

 

Recently just change my front 2 tyres back to 712 for my 17" 205/45/17 and it cost me around $130 per pc. If you thinking of SO 3 or Neova AD07 than anytime it will hit above $200. Remember my frd change his SO 3 for his 17" at $220 or $230 per pc.

[Chuabc]

Alright, price is definetly more X.

what about the performance on wet and dry?

[Rev_zone]

Dry is good cos I always play the corner, you know from east coast ECP exit Rocher with lots of bend ! For wet I tried travelling at 120-130 in a pool of water when heading towards 2nd link back to S'pore and the grip is good !

[Chuabc]

Thks. will consider 712 once my present stock botak

Are you still looking for the Kumho 712 ?

[Rev_zone]

Bro, any idea where is Khai Wah tyre shop ?

[Soya]

KW is at 421 Race Course Rd & 453 Tagore Industrial Ave. I go to the race course rd branch.

[Rev_zone]

Great, Race Course Rd is just 5mins drive away from my home. So are you currently using F1 GS-D3 ?

[Soya]

yep. highly recommended.

[Rev_zone]

So what profile are you using now and the cost of it ?

 

Heard that the older F1 performance not so good but does this new GS-D3 change the life impression for F1 ?
