best tires that you ever used?

[Supra_Fanatics]

Any tyre will sure have some cons whether more or less only....
Yup, Asy2 are quiet. Since I have loud exhaust, I took a friend along, drive at certain speed, free the gear, wind down the window and listen. My friend who does not like noisy tyres commented very quiet....
Bad FC maybe gripping too well.....

That's why maybe if i dun use PP2 better FC?

Re: best tires that you ever used?

My answer:
1- Bridgestone Potenza RE-11; then followed by:
2- Dunlop Direzza Z1 starspec
3- Nitto Neogen
4- Kumho KU36

Oh yeah, all tyres were bought from kedaipotong, pricewise no problem.

How is NeoGen in the wet?

How is NeoGen in the wet?

It is one of the best cold weather tyre. Being asymmetric, it performs better than the directional t1r, v12rs and fm901 surprisingly.

Best tyre ever used?

Dunlop SP Sport Maxx. which is very hard to get here. Very stiff sidewall and performs really well in wet and dry but a little bit noisy once treadware drops to 40-30%

Yokohama Advan Neova AD08. Super sticky in both condition but noisy and very low treadware but still last longer than my R1R. R1R can only last me 10 months and the compound seems softer.

Budget all rounder tires : Kumho Ecsta KU31. Value for money and grip is not bad at all for the price.

falken 912 - easily got sound n masuk longkang once bfo......bahaya:afraid:
federal rsr595 - sidewall n surface crack, not even use 1 year, but....cornering damm grip....
hankook v12 - cheap n good grip tyre compare to ad08r.....

i vote for ps3 n re002 n hankook v12.......if......i want to drive moderately......they r good in wet n dry......

Hmm.. I used and tried on quite a few.. here I group it up.


Track, AutoCross, Gymkhana

- Falken 615K (Current set, used in Sepang and Touge, Currently stored and waiting for ZTH TTA Sepang in Dec)
Used on EvoX
Super sticking power
Good in wet (But not good when there's thick water on highway)
SUPER NOISY
SUPER EXPENSIVE... RM 1600 per piece 245/40/18

- Advan Neova AD05 (Used in Gymkhana and Autocross on Nissan Sunny 130Y... KEKEKE)
Used in Honda Civic B16A
Good grip in DRY
Drifting around in WET

- Hankook Ventus V12 (Used in Sepang for Track Day and Time Attack... Once in RAIN and Very Wet Track condition )
Most economical Track tires I used so far.
Lancer GLS, Civic B16A
Good for Daily Drive too..
A bit noisy but not as bad as Semi Slicks

Daily Drive

- Yokohama Advan A10
Safe, Quite a bit Soft.

- Yokohama Parada (forgot the model, like sotong)
Good grip, Good water parting
Used 2 sets on Civic B16A alone..
Good Value and Good Performance.

- Neuton NT8000
Testing this set now.
So far, it outperformed it's Price. Dirt Cheap.

How did you find the Hankook's sidewall?

 

[johnsonlam]

How did you find the Hankook's sidewall?

SOFT.
Even from the design itself, you can see that is it not so Chunky.

Hankook RS3 would be a better choice for harder sidewalls.

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Damn! RM1600 a piece...can almost buy me self a 4 pieces of Taiwan 17" Rims with Tyres

Not cheap to maintain cars like EVO X eh...

Safety and Performance... Tires are the only 4 things connecting all the power to the tarmac :D
