Tasted Extreme already then go down one step to Max will find it less grippy. I still love them in the VR, now on HPY
Yeah. In fact the only thing that's stopping me from swapping out these tyres is the warranty. This Assy2 is the only tyre I know that has warranty against bulges and stuff.

what unpleasant experience of you with your previous T1R?
T1-R is only good for aquaplaning resistance. Wet grip is bad, in the dry so, so only and having soft sidewall is good for comfort but not performance as in fast corners.

sifu v2rturbo, how many kms have you run the HPY? in what way it is inferior to the Assy2, apart from the bland sidewall design? :proud:
Did not record the mileage, because I rotate the front tyres to the rear after it got damaged by alignment being out after my gear box repair. By the time I got it checked about 20% was shaved off...:bawling:

HPY is behind Asy2 is performance and handling. I would say probably 20% behind. However it still holds my VR pretty well in dry and wet. Unlike T1-R where I got wheel spin in the wet.
The cons are HPY have harder sidewall so is more bumpy. You can however use a lower air pressure. Harder sidewall, so it is good for corners....:biggrin: Probably slightly more noisy the Asy2, but much cheaper...:driver:

Bulge and manufacturer defect are covered by all tyres, only need to prove it.
GY warranty covers puncture, cuts, bruises and impact also which is d*mn good, but after reading further on the T&C, you better be aware of it.
Treadwear 6.7mm and above cover by free replacement of new tyre
5.5mm to 6.6mm, replacement by credit of the balance of tread pattern
Below 5.5mm no more warranty
Warranty period is 6 months only

TERMS & CONDITIONS
The Goodyear Worry Free Assurance (WFA) is only valid in Malaysia

Present the Goodyear WFA card, original receipt of tire purchase, and damaged tire to dealer where the tire was originally purchased when making a claim

Damages other than those specified under the Goodyear WFA will not be covered

Labor charges such as removal, fixing and balancing of tire shall be borne by the purchaser

The Goodyear WFA programme will be invalid after 6 months from the date of purchase or when remaining tread depth is less than 5.5mm

Goodyear (Malaysia) reserves the right to change the terms & conditions herein at any time at its absolute notice without prior notice

WFA as per T&C mentioned. Other normal warranty still valid but claim is measure by thread depth balance and this do not cover the impact, curbing or any thing other the manufacturing defect.

T1R are shitty tyres, once hit the curb the sidewall was immediately torn, just bought the tyre a week before the incident happened.

scrapped a lot of curb with my Federal 595 but still going strong.
ha! ha! looks like you like to hit curbs, did you teach bro. Izso?:biggrin:

EU label, the manufacturers test by themselves under self certification, so MY label won't work and with Sirim around just got no chance......:bawling:
