I'm pretty sure my previous AD07, when still new(full thread) can take corners in wet better than any economy street tires, such as ZE912. Now on Yoko S-Drive take corner in wet at 60km/h rear already slide out. I don't know how anyone can take corner 140km/h in rain, with economy tires.
If R1R or R888 or RE11 or AD07 or AD08 or Hankook RS2/3 with full thread I'll be confident to take corners in wet at 80-90km/h. These are performance tires.
Can't compare with T1R, ZE912,.. must be realistic lah
I try almost all tire Semi Slick tire, in very heavy rain I don't think semi slick can perform better than the wet tire...
That ZE912, I just realize it is still performance tire too... check the below website:
Tires - ZIEX ZE-912 - Falken Tire
I personally tested with ZE912:
1. Grid in Wet surface - 7/10 (can see the different when you across the takung water place, the steering not wild)
2. Grid in dry surface - 5/10 (can feel it perform so so only, but over than 180 kmj-1 I can't feel any grid already)
3. Silent performance not so good - 4/10
4. Special Feature: Steering abit feel slightly light.
R888 is a dry Performance tire! Tested result is:
1. Grid in wet surface - 3/10 (It not grid, can see you steering steering left and right all the way)
2. Grid in dry surface - 8/10 (Very well in road and track performance! Speed over 180 kmj-1, I still can feel the GRID)
3. Silent performance - 3/10 (very noise, can hear the sound came in all the way)
4. Special Feature: Good in drag race and track race...
5. Bad point: The thread gone very fast
AD07 & AD08 is a dry Performance tire! Tested result is:
1. Grid in wet surface - 5/10 (On wet surface, it only perform so so performance only)
2. Grid in dry surface - 8/10 (Very well in road and track performance! Speed over 180 kmj-1, I still can feel the GRID)
3. Silent performance - 4/10 (noisy, can hear the sound came in all the way)
4. Special Feature: Good in track race
5. Bad point: After thread left below 40% the grid will dramatically drop. The thread not standing long too.
RE01R is a dry Performance tire! Tested result is:
1. Grid in wet surface - 5/10 (On wet surface, it only perform so so performance only)
2. Grid in dry surface - 7.5/10 (Very well in road and track performance! Speed over 180 kmj-1, I still can feel the GRID)
3. Silent performance - 5/10 (The sound is ok)
4. Special Feature: Good in track race, the thread can standing longer than AD07 and R888
5. Bad point: The tire need a slightly hot to get the better grid.
RS2 is all season performance tire! Tested result is:
1. Grid in wet surface - 6/10 (On wet surface, it only perform so so performance only)
2. Grid in dry surface - 5/10 (Very well in road and track performance! Speed over 180 kmj-1, I can't feel the GRID)
3. Silent performance - 7/10 (Good in comfort and silent performance too)
4. Special Feature: The tire thread can stay longer and perform good in low speed
5. Bad point: Some said it perform very close to AD07, but after i test I'm not happy with it. I manage to use Stock 4AFE engine to spin this tire without stop... So you call it good? :stupid:... After you used for about 20 % thread, I can't feel it give any grid already. it's just an expensive but useless tire... Sorry for i condamm this tire... Because i not happy with the performance at all.
