tested in the rain liao. verdict: F1 is better. end of FR.

in lieu of the recent wet weather...i had several chance to test out the T1Rs, nw tt i've passed the scrub in period.....here's the lowdown on my personal feel:

Wet conditions
In this aspect, i'd say the Goodyear F1s r better. Not to say tt the T1Rs r shabby, but the F1s felt more assuring in the wet. By saying wet, i mean moderate drizzle w visibility, road surface conditions wet and travelling at 120km/h for a short burst.....of cse w minimal traffic la (lest i got crucified for reckless driving ). tt said, the T1Rs held up admirably in the wet, albeit not as grippy as the F1s. verdict: F1 9, T1Rs 7.5

Dry conditions
For this, i'd say the F1s n the T1Rs share the honour for dry grip. however, the T1Rs r better w lesser rd noise than the F1s. Also, while the sidewalls of the T1Rs r not in the same league as the RE01Rs, it is marginally better than the F1s. This is based on kupping corners @ a near 90 degree gradual bend ( again, i tried tis out with NO vehicles in the dead of the nite). butt feel says the T1Rs felt better. so hopefully this tyre will hold up well in track, PG or SIC. verdict: T1R 8.5 F1 7.5 (due to its soft sidewall).

That said, this kinda concludes my FR on the T1Rs. assessment is based on my butt feel n driving patterns. other users of the T1Rs pls share ur valuable experience w us.

thanks for fr...

this is a comparo btwn 2 tyres i've used b4 based on my butt feel for WET and DRY performances. if points system is hw u determine ur selection then www.tirerack.com is the one for u.

i want to sit in ur car!

are u guys using Eagle F1 (germany) as a basis for comparison or just the thai ones?

I am on my second set of F1s. the first is the German F1s and the 2nd set is Thai. It is very obvious that the German ones are better in every aspect, from wet and dry driving to durablilty.

bro who complained about the skidding of F1s on MSCPs I believe had bought the Thai ones regardless of what they were told. A check on the tyre walls should give the answers.

I personally did a series of drift at Far East Plaza's tiled drive way Jammed brakes after a rain and then anticipated the skids. I knew that place will skid so show off a bit to my passenger .


Thai F1s standard is not as good on wet. my confidence level for it had since diminished a little. but it is definitely bang for buck!

I feel it too.... at MSCP or on the road during wet weather, my car will torque spin and swing one side alot....... feels like my Kumho I used previously....

wonder the RE01 or RE070 or RE050 will do any good.

so far these few has quite nice tyre threads hahah

if too ex, then will still be using F1s.
