QUOTE(6UE5T @ Feb 6 2020, 02:53 PM) We'll see how expensive it will be and whether I will still be itchy after knowing the price! Lol F1SS similar priced as PZ4... The funny thing is that the F1SS and F1A5 pricing very close in singapore QUOTE(rocketeer_ace @ Feb 7 2020, 09:40 AM) Hate you bro.... Now you got my attention on the F1SS  But after watching the view below.... Having mixed feeling about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpZss_Y_JHcBecause how well a tire performed in the dry doesn't really concern me as I hardly push my car to the max (city driving... how hard can you push anyway?) so it doesn't makes much difference anyway. But when it comes to wet condition... that is where its matters.... the ability to control the car and stop the car in wet condition makes a huge difference between being in a accident and not being in one... Anyhow... if you do get it.... please share your input/experience about it Any idea when will it be available in Malaysia's market? Goodyear will do well....bridgestone RE series usually edge more towards dry performance....

Similar priced with PZ4 then similar to PS4S also then, which makes sense. If very close pricing between F1A5 and F1SS, I'd try the F1SS. Let see my appetite once comes the time.

As opposed to AD08R where it become unpredictable in the wet after half worn How fast were you driving and is there any standing water? Because the groove on these tire are not sufficient to channel water out.... Its a simple science... in the dry... the more rubber surface/contact you have on the road... you have better grip... when it comes to in the wet.... its the opposite, the more rubber surface you have... the higher the chance you'll have aquaplane..... because there's no way to channel the water out

Another tire that might interest you is the Continental Extreme Contact Sport, just as good if not better than PS4. Price range similar to PS4. I am using it on my Mark X.

RE004 start to sell here already? Where to get the cheapest one?
003 is risky tyre but once you understand it, you won't die from accident as long as you have >40% thread.

It is categorized in the same class as CSC6 and PS4S, performance wise just slightly below only for dry but wet is excellent if not better. I actually like this more than PS4 coz no chipping issue.

Wet is excellent? Odd... My friend used this tire previously before switching to PS4 on his scirocco told me that on the dry its on par with the PS4 but on the wet, PS4 is much better. Anyhow, different tires behave differently on different cars....

Anyhow, different tires behave differently on different cars.... For me the ECS is excellent in both dry and wet for a street tire. I don't recall ever aquaplaning or sliding on it in the wet and my Mark X has no VSC/TRC. Even now with middle treads only left 20-30% and side treads almost all bald, I still dare to drive it relatively fast in the wet. In comparison tests, this tire is matched against PS4S, not PS4 anymore. QUOTE(wkc5657 @ Feb 13 2020, 02:03 PM) Some tire shop in Sunway, forgot the name. I think you should be able to get or order it from any Continental shop.

It would make sense since MarkX is quite a heavy car compared to my friend's scirocco because weight would make the tire more 'planted' to the ground/road.

My X120 is about 1.55 ton curb weight, how about the Rocco?
