As I was talking to 字典仔 earlier, I really need to replace my tires too. My low thread PS PS2's are dying in this weather :S Which one did you say I should get again? I should switch from 255/40/18 to 245/40/18? or even lower?

And should I get PS sport a/s from the states..?

Lik Gor, by just telling how many years it's not that accurate bor...it depends on the road u drive (city stop and go wears out the tires faster), the car u drive (maybe jetta is heavy enough for ZE512?), and the annual mileage? not to mention where u live will make a big diff...

i live in bby, around metro; lots of uphill and downhill, feedbacks are from winding roads over winter time; even from friends who lives in coquitlam / north van with lots of highway high speed driving, how often will u hydroplane at the speed of 50 to 80, compares to 100 to 150?

or maybe i should say i drive too fast most of the time, so i can experience the diff in tires; u might think u drive slow but at the emergency moment, it will be the factor for less damage (if any)...

as far as i know, all falken tires starts to get noisy after 7000 to 10000km (depends on how u drive), and will get slippery on wet / snow...

if u first got those tires at winter time, when it's brand new; of course it would be reasonable for the first year lolz...

sko: it was BS RE960, just go for 245/40R18, u are only running 18 x 8.5; tire won't be so fatty making the wheels look like sticking out in the "front" (i think?!)

Lik Gor: she has no more factory wheels for snow tires, i have told her not to sell it

and her tires should be pretty bad by now, about 50 to 60% last winter...

lol~ silly lik gor, i mentioned "low thread" ps ps2~   

and yes, i was so shocked this morning, the road was all covered in slush.

darn it, i miss my oem ones now.
actually, i'm still thinking if I switch rims. i want to either go back to oem setup and save $$$, or switch to black on black.

okok, i'll go for 245 instead~

I love the slush!  It is no where like ice/snow, and I was able to push very hard w/o a sign of slide on my Dunlop M3 snow tires.  which I highly recommended.

sko: i dun think black on black would look nice, the setup u have now looks great, except the front are a little bit wide...

lik gor: so did u first replaced it when winter comes? typical 13 to 15k a year, so if u replaced them in "late" 04, when u first got it of course okay la...but after over 40k, i would estimate u probably have less than 50%, should make sure if they are still okay for this winter (even tho u might still feel okay)...

i never like RSA, i agree it to be one of the worst tires, but most cars come with it, what can you say? just like a lot of cars comes with RE92 and XGT V4...stupidest tires a manufacturer would have ever chosen for their cars, but that's life...

just like my Kumho ASX, bought them sept 04, had about 30k on them; they are less than 50% already (i drive too hard)

all season? i bet the best option is to go 215/45R17...way more choice than 205/50...but have to double check the overall diameter, may have to go 225/45 to keep it close...

stock rim is 17x7? or nar ...

i donno the stock rim is 17x7 or nar.. but, actually, don't I need to follow the original size? how to calculate if i change the size?
