heh! heh! must read in depth to their reply. Some say good is for their dry use. Wet normally they slow down so for them fits their use so it is value for money.owh ok but most members here says ok(not good)
in regrads of it outruns more expensive tyre so can i safely when it in equal hands n setup atr will be in the downside?
about aquaplan resistant + wet traction...care to elaborate further?
what i understand is eventho the aquaplaning is about the same each tyre has different wet traction...
i am monitoring closely about this atr at the moment cos thinking to change my rubber to cheaper + good tyre..
looking for 195/55/15 or 205/45/16
Aquaplaning resistance is the ability to cut through water. Of course here we cannot be too sure how good or how bad as we are not sure how much water, how heavy the rain and so on, but just compile as many feedback as possible.
Wet traction is the ability to stop in the wet. In a way they go hand in hand. Once there is aquaplaning, there is no traction at all already as the tyre is floating on the water, but let's say there is no aquaplaning so how fast can the car stop in the wet and that is wet traction which will rely more on rubber compound.
Tyre will more large grooves will be better in aquaplane resistance, and especially in V pattern. GY GSD3 is one of them, Dunlop SP9000. For Asy pattern, then Nexen N8000, GY Asy2.
However more grooves means less rubber in contact with the road and that also means less traction in the dry. That is why slick tyres track better in the dry as in F1 and for wet they use V groove pattern. For daily use an intermediate will be good, but then again depends on your priority. For me I am a wet kaki so wet traction is more important...
Too bad you are on 15 and 16, if not can try ATR2. You can consider GT Radial Champiro HPX also...
I am currently using the HPY but they come in 17" above...
