Re: Tyres advice

Do watch out for something...my friend who was helping out at the JC Evo launch had his Eagle pochek by a satay stick that went in from the treads and out of the sidewall....cow peh cow bu....cos his rubbers were less than a week old only. Had to replace them...seems like the rubber a bit on the soft side...a satay stick can go thru !!

wa...thats bad... have to watch out for satay sticks !!

If the angle is right, a satay stick will go thru any brand of tyres....

Maybe someone placed the satay stick against his tyres intentionally....

Re: Tyres advice

So far in all suayness...I only kenna twice.

Once was a chip off ceramic from a spark plug jacket....bugger went right thru my rubbers...lucky no blow out....but HUGH leak...

2nd time was a nail that went thru like what happen to my friend's tyre. Enter from the bottom and out from the side. Whole tyre gone....

I also see pieces of wood going thru the rubbers...but satay stick is the first time I hear...and was surprise at the damage it caused.

Sometimes it is some morons trying to sabo ur rides by placing the pointed side against our tyres....

May just want to take a look at the wheels before u drive off...

Re: Tyres advice

I usually do a visual inspection before I move off....never notice anything...I believe it a case of arse luck that happen to me.

Whatever it is, dont buy michelin tires as they can't cope with high speed cornering for some funny shape turn....

I'm on it too, but lately people have been calling me unsporting..

Re: Tyres advice

The SO3 have more rigid sidewalls so they are less subjectable to flexing. But if u are running an aggressive offset im setup, chances of rubbing is a lot higher!

Found the same with my Eagle F1s too...
