QUOTE(guanteik @ Mar 5 2016, 09:24 AM) Most of the time - normal. I am driving a ride on everything that's stock. My other donots I had used when it was stock was the Conti CSC5 with ContiSeal lasted around 50K KM. Another 2 donots were Michelin Pilot Super Sport - already done 15K KM (used longer than the RE003), still looks like it has 60%. QUOTE(Ancient-XinG- @ Mar 5 2016, 09:55 AM) Mind to take a pic on the current thread? Because less than 10k left 40% is like impossible... to me la. Ya, it seems your driving style is still normal and should have not worn out the tires as much as that even with a 220 tread wear. Maybe you observe incorrectly, should measure how many mm left. If just 40% left then only about 3mm tread left in the middle. |

QUOTE(VictorKeong @ Mar 6 2016, 04:59 PM) 55 will kena fender if on stock springs. my springs are no longer on stocks. one thing I noticed is that good grip to road = noisy tyre. wah haha cause my M3 that im using now is pure bad..... so if the Re003 worst in terms off road noise, i might consider getting something normal then haha... something that has a decent performance/ balanced with low level road noise. comfort not so much my concern maybe go for a Cdrive or nanoenergy..  less rolling resistance = quite tyre like xm2 |

QUOTE(hafiez @ Mar 6 2016, 08:42 PM) A bit noisy. the lightning sign, the "sharp" edge there, still that sharp? Because this fine detail can't captured by the cam. Mine already got little bit blunt. Don't know is alignment wrong or not. and the outer side quite rough surface. like moon surface, not that bad la. but rough... |

I just changed all my 4 pcs to RE003 from XM2 on my FD. Instant gratification in short after initial 120km drive. Stiffer sidewalls, much better dry grip, noise is alright at higher speeds (above 100km/hr) but at low speeds around 50-60km/hr there's a slight whur. It takes some getting used to. I'm happy. Hopefully, it won't get that much noisier towards its end of life.

Tyre can premature worn out if didn't properly aligned. Or unsuitable tyre for the car, what car is it?Then again you didn't see the tyre is it really almost worn out, just based on someone else remark. |

15 inches and below in size normally from Indonesia and 15 inches above normally from Thailand. Since Thailand is out of stock now, all RE003 will be from Indonesia. Went to my workshop and spotted 'Made in Indonesia' printed on a 225/45/17 RE003.
