Hi guys,
Just checking how many years do you drive around before changing into another set of new tyres? (taking into consideration that you do rotation of your tyres at least every year.)
Thanks.

Thanks for all your reply.
Can I also check, presently I'm riding on Falken ZE-912 (215/45ZR17), what is the lowest aspect ratio (side wall height) for cerato (HB)?
Anyone riding on 40 or 35 for 17"rim? If yes, how is the feel?
Thanks.

Definitely not comfortable if low profile tyres. But most who r on 17" stay on 45. Less than tat, speedo wil be too much out.

Just changed my tyres today to F1 GSD3 215/45/17. Felt the tyre walls are softer compared to BFG GFS and more body roll.. Anyone any comments on this?

Based on experience, GSD3 is more to comfort.. The only thing I like about that tyre is that it cuts thru puddles like nobody's business..

Can corner much better.. And I dont think it's because of wheel alignment that causes this..
