moonrex: so hows the new rubber?quite?grip?keep us update
well... i'm buying this cheap tyre to put on my car that only hibernates under my porch..hehe
last year, i drove it less than 10 times....
such a waste to get ad08 or other pricey tyre if the car is not driven right, so archilles lor...
until today i've only driven it once, and i think it is more on the quiet side, but i can't compare leh, cos i don't drive a lot, don't drive everyday, not like working ppl, sales guy.
Grip... can't tell, cos I never 'pek' on d road
wet grip.... my car never go out when it rains...
Wah! you compare to Yoko AD-07 ah?
yes. that AD07 is my old tyre that i'm swapping out. that AD07 is from 2003, it has been with my car for 9 years already.
hey nd4ever, I got it from:
But warning though, the service there may not be good as my previous rims got scratches on the edge when they removed the old tyre.. Especially their workers gotta be careful.
oh, i'm also scared of scratching my rim, when changing tyre, but this rule apply to all tyre shop where ever u go change tyre.
- be very very frenly with the workers, tell them nicely, that u want to be extra extra careful with the rims.
the boys at PTS are frenly, boss oso frenly, i told them to put some kad or rubbler on the rim side when they cungkil the tyre from the rim. sometimes the lever will crack the paint on the rim side.
But to my surprise they use this technique that i've not seen before ( cos I seldom change tyre at tyre shop mah )
The lever they dun put it touching your rim, they put it on the arm of the machine to pry the tyre up, so there is no contact of the lever on ur rim at all.
One point that can't be avoided is the lever have to touch the inside of ur rim when they put the tyre in.
Another thing that can scratch ur tyre is they clamp of the tyre changing machine, it clamps very tightly to the underside of ur rim, you have to either tape the rim whole round, or ask them to put sometime on the clamp, i'm not sure if it is possible....
