Saaber Neutral Newbie February 19, 2003 Share February 19, 2003 (edited) I'm running on Yokohama AVS ES100. Find it's a nicely balanced package between comfort & grip. If wet grip is important, avoid the Yokohama Apsec DB. Heard lots of horror stories abt it's clumsy wet performance. ST115 which is really good in the wet but ride is a bit on the hard side. Avoid the Falken Ziex 326 coz it gets really noisy after a while. Bridgestone GIIIs are so-so, nothing to shout about in any particular area. Goodyear NCT 5 is a comfort tyre but wet grip sucks. Lots of ppl swear by SO3s but kinda ex. Kumho 712 has it's fair share of followers due to the attractive price but heard it's a bit noisy and wet grip is average (saaber, u want to correct me here?) 185/55/15 is the correct +1 upgrade for the Jazz. The overall deviation is only +0.24% which is negligible. Rim design is subjective so I'll leave it to one's personal judgement on what is chio or fugly. Price-wise, Leong Seng at Paya Ubi is competitive and has a wide selection but dun expect professional advice or fantastic workmanship there. U can give Yap Bros a few doors away a try too - heard they are more professional. Stamford is quite good too but a bit ex. Anyway, knowing that Kumho got only average wet grip, I don't go that hard during rain so it is safer lor......if not, I will really whack harder if wet grip is better and it is not so safe liao........Basically for a road use tyre, it is pretty competent.....good grip in dry and very progressive giving you ample warning before you hit the limit and mind you, the grip is still there , rather than those that only squeal right at the limit and the next thing you know, you ae going into a spin or whatsoever.... Most important, it is the cheapest performance tyre I have ever come across..... i paid $130 per piece for 225/45 R17......

Zombie Neutral Newbie February 23, 2003 Author Share February 23, 2003 I went to Yap Bros and Leong Seng yesterday. Yap Bros do not have OZ Rims. For the information of the rest, I was quoted 200 for OZ superleggra and 85 for ST115. r15/195/50. Same price for OZ F1. Didn't go be other places. Maybe those who know the price of other tyre shop can post here. Forget to ask the price AVS E100. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericongy 3rd Gear January 16, 2013 Share January 16, 2013 Thinking of changing my '09 Fit wheel to 16inch. anyone can advise what is the best tyre profile for it? initially i am looking at 205/50/R16, but one tyre shop uncle advise that it will cause the car to consume much more petrol so now i am looking at 205/45/R16 or 195/50/R16 or 195/45/R16. any ho sim lang (good hearted man) can advise?

Donghai Neutral Newbie January 16, 2013 Share January 16, 2013 definitely if you go bigger rims and wider tyres, FC will be affected. maybe you should consider how much are you affected by FC. If FC is no issue for you, go as big(rims), as wide(tyre) and as low profile(tyre) as you want. If FC is an issue, best to stick with stock size.
