Goodyear Duraplus in the rear and the Viking Citytech in front?
Duraplus is in front and the City tech is in rear.

Looks like 4 yo tires?

I will change them, esp those viking is like a slick tire in the rain when it harden.
The viking on my blm got plenty of thread left but already 4yo...damn noisy and bad in the rain..easily skate on the surface.
So far for my tyres, only the good year had shown to lose grip during rain while for viking, haven't experience such a thing before.

How the F you guys keep your tyre life so long ? The longest i can maintain one set of tyres are 2 years !

Thanks,

Because our normal car which is hardly driven or only used for short distance commute is using cheap2 tire which had treadwear rating of above 320?

Our other car is different.

Is it the S1 Noble 2, so far pretty good feedback.....
yesterday just come back from raya holiday, had chance to really experience s1n2 tyre around 1500km from jb to perak. so far im really satisfied with that tyre, i felt my car is way more comfortable than before. plus my car is rear wheel drive, taking corners is never like i experience before.. max speed driven now is 180kmh and im confident with it.

Yours hardly use, Bro. Mitevo7 scrub them away........hahhahhahaha
You are quite right ! None of my tyres can last to 2 years !

There was once i bought a set of used Nexen 8000, has about 70% thread left, a return trip to Penang, i've managed to scrub the tyre down to almost 40% left. I wasn't driving very aggressive too. Probably this used tyre already has some thread problem so that's why it was gotten rid of.

Its amazing that i am still able to drive relatively quite stable on this thing.

Thanks,
Ken
