i'm all tyred out...sheesh...





YOKOHAMA ADVAN NEOVA AD07











GOODYEAR EAGLE F1GSD3











FALKEN FK452






maxine's shoes are wearing out very quickly...changed them at 52k km and now at almost 90k km, they're barely legal and rather twitchy in the rain...just not very safe anymore...

so it's time to choose one of the tyres below...and i still am wavering left right and centre...

  • the yokohama ad07 obviously would be best in the dry but costs the most
  • the goodyear eagle f1gsd3 would be best in the wet and costs the least
  • the falken fk452 is more of an unknown since it's only recently introduced into the market...however have used its predecessor the fk451 which was quite good and this promises to be even better (could be marketing spiel though)

headache...logically speaking, would very seldom come close to the envelope of ability of the tyres in the dry...and singapore does experience more than its fair share of rain...this would therefore point the finger to buying the f1gsd3...however, the sidewall of the gsd3 is softer and this may mean that turn-in would be not as sharp (comparatively speaking of course)...

*sigh*
