QUOTE(6UE5T @ Jun 30 2014, 09:29 PM) Don't be skimppy on tires! Tires transfer power to the road and provide grip. It can make the difference between you having an acident and avoiding it so buy the best that you can afford, don't buy those cheapo stuff like Silverstone, etc. I'd rather buy used but still in good condition trusted brand of tires than those. If want rather cheap but still good enough quality, at least buy GT Radial. GT Radial fakap tires. The rubber is nice when i bought the tires like 6 months old from factory. 1 year on it has little cracks on sidewalls. I'm back to silverstones if its cheap tires. Already 3 years old, no cracks and just balding from wear. GT radial really fakap.

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Aug 17 2014, 06:52 PM) Really? I've used GT Radial before for for >2yrs and it's fine until I sold the car off. I know some people who had used GT Radial as well and no complaints from them, most even really happy with the value for money. Maybe they gave you defected tires from the factory hence like that. Silverstone though I've used before in a rented car and the grip really sucks! I'd pick GT Radial anytime over Silverstone. Yes 2 years. Thats all they could do when the cracks are beginning to bother me. They are almost freaking new from factory! I got them because they are 5 bucks cheaper than Silverstone. If they could not hold up to 80km daily drive at legal speeds with cracks showing then... rubbish tires. I got pix of them but do not know where i put in one of my dvd pix collections. Yeah Silverstone will not have as nice grip as any tire if driven insanely. I'm still in 1 piece 3 years now on silverstone and the same 5 years earlier. No way i'm going to GT radial again.
