which tyre you will recommend to your friend?

[ericmaxman]

If your friend ask for tyre recommendation...which tyre you will recommend them? and why?
1. Michelin PS3
2. Yokohama Advigor Z.P.S
3. Goodyear DuraPlus

Depends on what kind of friend?

general purpose? touge? durability?

 

[vr2turbo]

depends on what car he's driving,normally i will recommend michelin coz everyone saying it's good.

Well, not everyone. Many complaints about the shoulder pattern chipping off for XM1, PS3 and lately even XM2...

I think he likes his friend here. If not he would not come to the forum to ask. The consideration now is 'how much' he likes his friend. If he likes him A LOT, then.....otherwise.....There's a possibility he's actually asking for himself but a bit shy and worried of how others would think of him. An ego thing, you know.

no la my friend ask me so I'm afraid of giving wrong choice so wanna ask you guys here...you think too much :rolleyes:

Ha, now that u put it in this way. It always chips off for my father's past few sets.
Its like the whole tyre is too soft.

Not soft. If soft, it wears or melts, but more like harden so chip off like bits breaking off.
Let me find the topic on it....

the atr k sport is bumpy and i think dangerous in corner if the the road is bumpy & grip like doesn't increase when i travel kl-ipoh-kl. Ad07 not bumpy and the grip becomes more when i travel far

 

[alorvera77]

seriously, i personally agreed that driving is not depends on how good the tyres are but the most important is the driving behaviour.
i had been using re-threaded tyre and still fine and summore it is cheap, and i am still alive.

The AD-07 are extreme tyres and grips even better when heated up....

Well, Yes and No.
Yes to driving behavior to an extent. However tyres do have a great part in it too. Better check the manufacturing date of the original tyre casing used to re-thread. Some re-threaders use them over and over to save cost but at the expenses of the user...

ATR K sports so expensive?

 

[muklisher22]

What? i thought people are not allowed to use re-threaded tyre anymore since is no safety gurantee?

Anyway I would prefer Michelin because everyone know this brand and easy to find. Expert sure understand this brand more than others

Also when we need to do research really can easily get from youtube. just type michelin all come out already

Good thing not cheap. Cheap thing not good. You get what you pay for.

 

[YellowFlash]
