Re: Enquires On Tyres
So far...i been driving for 1500KM

Comfort Level : 4/5 (5 being the most comfort)
Performance (dry) : 4/5 (5 being the best)

Re: Enquires On Tyres
Think you should consider the following:
1) PS3 (if money is no object)
2) CSC 5P
3) BS S001
4) GY F1 Asym (cheapest among these 4 tyres)
I am on F1 Asym now (second set already) - can say it is quite a good balance between performance (dry, wet and cornering) and comfort (ride and noise), not to mention it is probably the most affordable high performance tyre around.
Planning to try CSC 5P or PS3 next, depending on $$$ as I am also considering upgrading to 19in rims same time as tyre change.
My 2 cents' worth...

Re: Enquires On Tyres
My car is fitted with staggered tyres:
Front 225/40 R18
Back 255/35 R18
Do I need to do tyre rotation ? If so, how often do I do it ? How is rotation done? Rotate back-left with back-right and rotate front-left with front-right ?
Or can I "flip" individual tyres such that the outside becomes the inside ? I read that directional tyres cannot be "flip". Most tyres of this sizes are directional or non-directional ?
Lastly, does pumping nitrogen gas has much significant benifits over normal air ?
Sorry I am very new to these.
Any information is much appreciated
Thanks

Re: Enquires On Tyres
For staggered setting, the only way to rotate tire is what you said only can swap left and right provided non-directional. But was told by tire shop not so effective, best is still rotate front to back. So for staggered setting I was advice to go for Alignment every 20k km.
As for pumping Nitrogen gas, my personal opinion is a waste of money for our street car.
The impetus behind a nitrogen fill is for stable air pressures in tires. Specialized Nitrogen from that tank is a drier state of air versus the ambient air that the gas station compressor draws. With no or less moisture, the air volume is more consistent and is not subject to evaporation etc. In countries with variable climate, this also helps reduce temperature-related variations/fluctuations. But for Singapore, you don't really need that. The only good thing is the tire pressure remain constant for a longer period of time for Nitrogen as compared to normal air.
Anyway, normal air contains 78% Nitrogen and 21% Oxygen ... whats the big diff for street car??
