Stock Toyo Tyres On NSHW, BOLEH?
Mikal:
I find that Toyo tires are OK on dry road...but on wet road it may slip when braking....so be careful
Six months ago i was on the PIE (near Eng Neo turnout) doing 90~100km/hr on the right lane with the Toyo and it was raining moderately - but the road was very wet....The car in front (at about eight car length) braked suddenly so I immediately brake too with full confidence as usual...but the Toyo tires slipped the road grip for about 2~3car length before recovering its grip fully. It was really quite a shock to me as the Toyo tires had done only 25k km...So I told myself that I better get a "better" normal tires (like Micheline Energy, GR80 or Hankook V2, etc..) before the end-of-year raining season.
Finally I changed to Hankook V2 blackbird 195/60/R15 at last weekend MM..so far I am pleased with it :thumbsup: ...I havn't try it on the NSHW though...maybe around Aug/Sept..that is, if I can get the annual leave approved..
My advise is....on wet road Toyo braking performance is marginal....if you are the bread winner, or have family or kids....don't risk it when road is wet...either change better wet braking tires..or slow down and give ample "car-length" in front...

You even can do servicing there lor... heard from mechanic Sat morning will have a lot of S'pore Nissan went to servicing lor...
Guarantee the price is much more cheaper compare to here lor after convert back to SD.
One thig good u can chat with the mechanic during servicing and understand more about your car. :yehyeh:
Additional point u can bring yr own parts so they only charge u labour only..Ex; Oil filter, engine oil, brake pad etc. :thumbsup:
