Definitely fitting these when my Oem Goodyears wear out. Price not much different from the new Goodyear ATM2 for 185/55/16

Bit the bullet and went to Len Sheng in S1 Wangsa Maju to change my 185 55 16 GY Excellence for TR1.
The tyres are nearing the wear indicator bars so decided to change.
Have done nearly 45k km on the set of Excellence.
Overall a comfortable tyre, a bit noisy and a softer sidewall.
Looking forward to trying out the Tr1 after scrubbing off the release compound.

After a week of driving with TR1s for about 300km.
Tyre noise level is acceptable on normal chip sealed roads, the noise is a lower frequency hum rather than roar.
On fresh paved smooth tarmac, it is virtually silent so the tyre noise is dependent on the quality of the road surface.
The car a City Hybrid, felt like it sat higher on these tyres and steering response is a bit more direct, there is no squat or flex in the sidewall before the turn is made.

Time to swap these for a new set of boots, * indicator down to 1 * and tread almost at the wear indicator bar.
No wonder I’ve been feeling a bit skittish in the wet for the past 2 months. Done just about 36k km in these.
Much better sidewall stiffness than the OEM Goodyear Excellence.
Thinking to buy again or up car to Conti Ultra Contact 6.

Really used it hah  thumbup.gif 
mine still good, thanks to PKP  whistling.gif ... only counting years, we should change when over 3 years is it  hmm.gif

Was hoping they would last a little longer like up to 40k
But didn’t really use much the last 2years except work commute. Before that, only a few road trips. I guess with regular tyre rotation, happy to say the 4 tyres look evenly worn.
