I am using Bridgestone Potenza RE001 for 1 yrs pluss 205/50R16(RM330 per tyre) make in Japan tried both in Wet and dry(highway and city) and high speed cornering and the result were no sign of sidewall flexing during hard cornering, in wet even at speed 110/km/h to 120km/h on highway at heavy downpour, only facing min aquaplanning , steering feedback from the tyre are sensitive and precise :love:

well, here is my opinion...
Im using Maxxis Victra MA-Z1 best in dry and wet condition...Grip u can get in during cornering is 75km/h in a sharp corner(thats with addition of UR front+back+anti-roll bar+fenders bar)...
price also not bad...
im using 195/55/R15 and it cost RM175 per tyre...

i have used RE01R before, and i think its a bit overrated. and the wet grip is far from excellent. yeah it keeps the car from going 360 every time it hit water puddles but i would still use michelin. far more superior in terms of overall, daily conditions (rain, puddles, dry roads, comfort etc). RE01R would win hands down if u use it for trackdays but in daily conditions, rest assured that michelin will take care of u...:burnout:

i heard falken tire are not that good... i got a friend has 17inch falken tire cost like 400Rm peice. he said still sucks then other price around rm3XX ??

for 15inch. ad07 la but no more producing and ad08 is the next 1 but i heard is not good as yokohama ad07?

but toyo t1r are not that good. the price are high but the quality can compare to other tire like those Rm2xx range. alot of people recommended toyo brand is R888 ?

someone intro me for the HANKOOK rm2xx range. quite really damn good the thread like ad07 they said. no yet really look into it but will pay visit to the tire shop sooner :P

base on the replies,its really tough to decide :hmmmm:
RE01R-its quite overrated because of its grip on wet condition is not that excellent...
AD07-really not grip in wet base on my experience...spin 360 before :frown:
T1R-base on review,the soft tyre sidewall is the major problem causing a car to sway during cornering...
R1R-no one have sharing info for these tyre,base on review it is excellent...dunno about thread wear...any ideas anyone :hmmmm:
Falken-tyre noise is a major problem

so,is it right to choose R1R? :beer:

Good day all,

My car got out about 3 weeks ago, made some changes on it.

Well, now my boost reading is zero(0) when idling, when throttle a little, it goes down....then if boost it goes up a little...

what is going on???

Also would like to know if there's any difference on NA and Turbo throttle body.

The boost meter is in working condition as i tested with few other units of meter, and it's showing the same sign.

Even if i hose it straight from the throttle body hose, still...
