TS - you sure XM1s are good ah? had 175/70/R13 before on saga - terrible in the wet, and on greasy roads, the tyres are skittish.
Tyre Reviews, What brand of tyres have you used?

QUOTE(darahhitam @ Mar 16 2007, 05:07 PM) Kev, yup, based on my own and the driver's (my colleague) usage for the past 2 years. He has a really aggresive driving style on a heavily (internally) modded Proton C21. It was 185/60/R14 on rp01, custom adjustable on four corners. can't remember, but they were less than 3 months old for sure - i got them when they were first launched. i agree that FTZ sucks, but then again, the XM1 is supposedly a 'budget' tyre got them for 120 bucks a piece, though.His previous FTZ (195/50/R15) nearly led him to a head-on during wet. But with the XM1, not anymore. No complain whatsoever from him. Or maybe he hasn't tasted the "higher spec-ed" tyres? What's the DoM for the XM1 you used earlier? He got it just a couple of weeks old XM1s back then.  |

QUOTE(tatayoung @ Mar 20 2007, 11:48 PM) Something is missing with the the Xm1's...i feel it on my saga1.5 as well....when it rains i just don't feel like pushing the car beyond 90...which is bad...considering the fact that i got em for 145 per tyre..... QUOTE(darahhitam @ Mar 21 2007, 09:22 AM) tatayoung, what sizes are those? saga 1.3 and 1.5 is 175/70/R13  |

QUOTE(maddriver @ Mar 22 2007, 08:14 AM) it's the yoko parada. 195/50/15  QUOTE(darahhitam @ Mar 22 2007, 11:55 AM) Since he stated 145 per piece so I assume it's not a 13-incher. not really, for a couple of months now XM1s are 10 to 15 bucks more expensive than what they used to be........ 14 incher is around 135 per piece so could it be 195/50/R15 instead?  QUOTE(zeist @ Mar 22 2007, 03:26 PM) Why so less people using Toyo tires? hard to find, wierd compound. if got proxes that are made in 165/55/R14 then i might try.  |
