  Continental

  ContiSportContact 3 aka CSC 3

  225/45/18

  Toyota Mark X

  S$500/pc

  hard compund = long lasting. noise level acceptable for performance tyre. how fuel efficient it is i can't tell. performs VERY WELL in wet. slices thru water like hot knife thru butter. good road holding ability and takes a lot of effort b4 it starts squealing like a pig. only complaint is the price. =(

  for me i wont waste my R888(if i had them) on PG....I'd rather fully utilise them on sepang....if i'm going to PG i'll just swap in some mid range tyre will do since the tyre wear is horrible and uneven...unlike sepang...

  Brand: Pirelli

  Front - 275/30 ZR19

  Rear - 345/25 ZR20

  Car: a red one

  Cost: too much & have to be special import

   

  Great handling in wet or dry conditions, and excellent for tracking. The only downside being that they tend to wear-out quite quickly, mainly due to the wheel camber which induces uneven tyre wear.

  a lot of headaches .. and patience. It is actually only the rears that I can't source here .. and the last time a puncture happened I had to pick up 2 tyres myself whilst on a business trip overseas and check them in as luggage ... and I'm still surprised that I wasn't stopped at Changi & asked to pay GST.

  well ... firstly 20's on the front just don't look right .. and novitec recommend a 19'/20' combination.
