just a reminder for BS S03 it has good grip but tend to produce even worse road noise when it's worn out.....
like 70% thread left it start giving you that annoying road noise.....

I find there pretty good. i find there pretty good in the wet. and in the dry. but there only 300kms old. so who knows how they get after 5000km
currently running RT215s on street and they are good... good on dry...alright on wet... the downside is that i dont get any feedback from the tyres at all!!! which is a big downside (personally)...

1. Firestone Firehawk GTA
2. Goodyear Eagles LS

I got some new tyres on the w/end. I bought Fulda Excelero's (sp) for $200 each fitted and balanced. First impression was the steering was so much lighter but this is likely to be because of a new tyre with actual tread. They are also really really quiet, esp on the highway. The OEM Dunlops were quite noisy on concrete highways but these are no noiser from tar to concrete. Ride quaility is possibly better but could also be the fact they are new.
No performance and grip:
The jury is still out on this. Bob Jane put this slippery silicon shit on the tyres and makes it really slippery sometimes. I think most of it has worn off as the grip is improving. From a standing start VSA kicks in more often and I get more wheel spin than stock OEM Dunlops at the moment. I haven't taken the car too hard on cornering yet as don't wanna slip out if I find some more silicone on a side wall.
It's raining today and wet performance is about the same as OEM at this stage.
I'll give another update once I've washed the car properly and wiped the silicone stuff off.
As far as the Bob Jane Xenon z1 tyres, they are rebadged Kumo's tyres so draw your own conclusion from that.
Just a follow up after a few more days of driving. I'm beginning to hate these tyres. Wheel spin and squeal is horrible (and that's in an auto). Cornering is very loud & no where near as much grip. They must have some serious sidewall flex as you can hear the tyre as if it's flat, but it isn't. I'm gonna check my tyre pressures at the server tomorrow just in case but they don't look low.
On a positive note, if you're after a very quiet tyre and don't put your car to the limit (esp cornering) then they are fine. I just wish Goodyear still imported the tyre I wanted in my ar's size (F1 GS-D3 or something like that).
hey guys
im up for new tyres soon and just wondering what sort of tyres i should get
i wanna spend around the $150 mark for each tyre and i want it to grip in both dry and wet conditions, not wear out too quickly(cant afford to be changing every 10-20 000kms), the car will be used most likely for everyday driving, and the occational mountain run, or track day
i dont really know much about tyres, but im guessing that u dont want tyre flex?
i got em1 rims that have 195/55/15 dunlop tyres on them, what do uz recomend for what i wanna do
yokohama c-drives!!!!!!!!
can get em for 600 with wheel alignment too
All those with tyres on their cars (which means everybody), Go to http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?p=806178 and post up your brand, model, size, and on the sidewall, look for the 3T's.
