  Wah, what kind of survey is this? You work for the tyre association of Singapore arh?
  
  1) What make and model car do you drive?
  
  I drive a big black boxy stationwagon, looks like a hearse. But got air scoop on the bonnet for that sporty look. Why, I drive a SPORTS HEARSE!
  
  2) Rate the following in order of importance when choosing a tyre (least 1 - most 5)
  a. Price
  b. Brand
  c. Performance
  d. Comfort / Noise
  
  All equally important leh, except b (as long as its a reputable brand).
  No Kumhos please.
  
  3) When buying a tyre, do you
  a. Rely on shops for recommendation?
  b. ask friends?
  c. Read up about it?
  
  a. Rely on shops for recommendation. I know this tyre shop guy for more than 20 years liow....so I let him have all my tyre business.
  
  4) How would you rate the following tyre brands in terms of performance? (e.g. sporty, high speed stability, cornering) BEST = 1; WORST = 5
  a. Michelin
  b. Bridgestone
  c. Pirelli
  d. Yokohama
  e. Good Year
  
  Sorry, haven't got the faintest clue. Once I get in and drive, I forget everything liow. Anyway, my sports hearse can't corner fast, so nevermind lor....
  
  5) How would you rate the following tyre brands in terms of comfort and quietness? BEST = 1; WORST = 5
  a. Michelin
  b. Bridgestone
  c. Pirelli
  d. Yokohama
  e. Good Year
  
  Hello.....I think depends on which model also right? Not just the brand. Every brand also got noisy sports tyres which wear out in 6 months.....or silent normal tyres which wear out in 2 years.
  
  6) How would you rate the following tyre brands in terms of prestige? BEST = 1; WORST = 5
  a. Michelin
  b. Bridgestone
  c. Pirelli
  d. Yokohama
  e. Good Year
  
  No idea. I think depends on the model of the tyre, not just the brand. And I think people generally look at the car's brand for prestige, not the tyre brand.
  
  I mean, we always hear people saying "He drives an STi, he drives a Jag..". Very seldom do we hear people saying "He drives a car with Michelins".
  
  7) Match the car brand to the tyre brand (e.g. A = 2)
  A - Ferrari
  B - Subaru
  C - Nissan
  D - Renault
  E - Mercedes
  
  1 - Michelin
  2 - Bridgestone
  3 - Pirelli
  4 - Yokohama
  5 - Good Year
  
  I only know Hyundai and Kia matches with Kumho.
  And some Subarus come with those stupid Geolanders too.
  
  Thanks guys!!!
  
  You're welcome, baby!

  hey man, u can't compare wat's happening in F1 to road tires u know?
  
  the S0-2's were pretty good street tires if u ask me. S0-3 went a notch up on wet performance but a notch down in the dry.
  
  me? i swear by semi-slicks...... if only it didn't rain in sg ever so often
