am using one now. overall on the dry it was excellent but not on the wet(my own experience of almost oversteer twice). However, two of my friends who is using it too, says its good in the wet. But of course their tyre are relatively new bout 80% and mine already 30-40%. coming to its 4th year soon:afraid:

Do agree that it looks great and fierce. Currently at Kuching, anyone knows whats the price? Also, what is a good replacement for this tyre? Any idea? 195/50/15

Be extra cautious!
Check the date of manufacture on the sidewalls

Normally its written as 3910 meaning manufactured in the 39th week of 2010

If its about 5 years old, then forget it!

Tyres lifespan is maximum 5 years

Exceeding use after 5 years may result in sudden burst during driving in high speed because the rubber compound is dried and crispyly brittle.

So whenever a tyre is offered at a cheap price, tendency is that its an expired tyre, though the tyre
never touches ground yet...

Even though life span is 5 years, depends on your personal usage. If can finish a set in 2 years then a 2 year old set is okay, but ask for extra discount. If low mileage user, then buy as new as possible.....

discount tyres... hehehheheh.. those sell men always like that..

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

for fast user like me...2-3 year old tyre not a problem......within 6-8month sure finish already...

 

[vr2turbo]

Wah! 6 months? Looks like you scrub them off, rather then use them.......hahahahahahaha

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

last time the fastest was 4month with this tyre.....5000km/month mileage...and long trip for winding road surely that tyre wouldn't last long
