Have tried it abit hard in the wet?
Haven't yet. Last time A-Drive when it is wet, 1st gear change to 2nd gear on full throttle around 5000rpm plus, front wheel will spin and lose grip for a while. Viking don't know yet.

Can say almost. But that was also like more than 3 months ago. Just now tried the same thing on wet tarmac. Got grip this time. Tried once only.

Tyre and rubber still new, soft and grip, plus plenty thread pattern. 3 months ago old tyres also not much left, maybe additional 5%, rubber harden and almost bald, and on wet sure bad loh!
All my UHP and Max performance tyres will have big different in the wet after 50% worn...

Hmm, usually this kind of tyre can last for how long? No need to be precise, just roughly the duration and distance traveled is how much?

Is UHP Ultra High Performance? Just wondering... If like that 50% worn, feel like not that long lasting if buy those tyres...

Found this at my tyre. :biggrin:

Normal users who drive more on the slow side will not find much difference when their tyres wear up to 50%, probably lower at 30% or more.
UHP tyre users who touge and drive fast will feel the difference in performance once they reach 50% wear and especially in the wet.
I have seen sports car and turbo cars changing their tyres at 50%. If it fits my car I would have bought them....:biggrin:

Conti is from which country? Malaysian?

50% change? Rich people indeed. But buying 2nd hand tyre is good?:hmmmm:
