[QUOTE="koryong, post: 96263, member: 70"] After 2 weeks and about 1000km since fitting the new [b]G[i]III[/i], [/b]here's my take on them. Just a brief feed-back and largely based on my limited experience & comparing only with what I've used before ie. ST115, RE711, F1 GSD3 etc. [b][color=blue]Rolling resistance :[/color] [/b] Very little, better than ST115 [b][color=blue]Dry grip : [/color][/b] Fantastic ! Love going into fast corners :D although there is more side wall flex than the ST115. Also doesn't feel as "sticky" as the ST115, but still heaps of grip & similiar to RE711. [color=blue][b]Wet grip :[/b][/color] Handles normal rainy days very well - cuts thru normal wet roads easily & retains excellent grip (better than RE711). But with heavy downfall & large puddles, the G[i]III[/i] easily aquaplanes and I had to almost fight with the steering wheel .... scary !! :o Much poorer than ST115 in the wet and needless to say, the GSD3. [color=blue][b]Noise / comfort :[/b][/color] Darn quiet !! Heaps more silent than the RE711 and a little better than the ST115 & GSD3. Also nice & soft over bumps, probably due to the softer side walls. Overall, a very nice tire indeed. Only need to be cautious & not go too fast in the wet. Just my [b][color=red]2 cents [/color][/b].... :) [/QUOTE]
