  I suggest you go to AutoBacs in Bukit Batok. They got the range of tyres with the pricing and description on the tyres stated for your viewing.
  
  Go through and take note of the price, compare outside on your prefer brand and let me know where is cheaper. OK?

  Hi..Hey this AD07 Neova is a semi-slick rubber isn't it? If it is , be careful though in the wet as slicks are messy in wet conditions.
  well de abv mentioned tyres are good ones..of coz if u can stretch ur dollars..Bridgestone S eries. michelins..
  be safe..

  Yup, you should know mah... stock tires on our car no longer in production, instead taken over by the neova.

  recommended - Bridgestone Potenza S-02.
  
  best wet and dry grip tires i've ever used. but got 2 major probs.
  
  1) tire compund quite soft, so it wears out relatively quickly if u play to much around corners.
  
  2) Old model liao. now S-03 out to replace it so, dunno whether can still buy anot. anyways, the feedback i get was that the s-02 still grips better then its new descendant (S-03).
  
  so in the end, dun think i've helped out anyway.

  Hmmmm
  What type of tyre do you want?
  Comfort? Quiet? Performance?
  
  If quiet, get Yokohama A500 Aspec DB
  or Bridgestone GR50
  
  For a little of both, get Bridgestone GIII or Falken ST115(only for first 15k)
  
  For Performance, get Bridgestone S-03 or Yokohama Advan neova AD-07.
  
  Having switch from ST115 to S-03 then finally now my latest set of Advan Neova AD07... Comments are that... I prefer my S-03...
  The Advan Neova are more noisy although grip is better...
  But wet seems not as good as the S-03 leh...

  SO2 is indeed a good tire... but
  it is out of production.. taken over by S03.. which is not as good.. said by some...
  advice is .. nv take old stocks althou they are new.. but rubber will degrade as time goes....
  
  so i will still go for S03..... cos dry and wet plus comfort balance... and price not as bad as neova ad07
  ad07 is purely high perf A++ tires... even stated in mag...
  in wet still okie.. not as bad... but not advise to play on wet ground... not as noisy cos i sat in one before...
  but dry grip... speechlessly good...

  I'm currently using Bridgestone ponteza or something like that. Is it advisable to change my tyres to something else?
