My ATR Sport is below 50% now.

Cant choose between PS3 and Asy 2. Price not much difference.
What do you think?

Performance about the same. In the past, UK tyre test put Asy2 a bit better.
PS3 used to be higher in price, recently price drop that is why it is at par with Asy2 now, however Asy2 is Made in Germany and PS3 from Thailand.

PS3 made in thailand? I didnt know that.
A lot of reviews on PS3, but not much on Asy 2.
But a friend of mine says Asy 2 is better.

This is because Asy2 only for selected users from 17" and above. Many PS3 reviews are from 15" users, that is why PS3 have more reviews....:driver:

Some even rate Asy 2 to Michelin PSS category....:smokin:

I would go for Asy 2, heard lots of feedback saying when PS3 reach 40% thread left, some bits from the tyres already chipped off...Kinda hard to believe but this is the feedback on PS3 tyres...

I'm using ATR sports and I'm happy with it...price too hahahaha!

I'm using Assy2 now. 215/45/17. Initially when new the grip is quite poor. Will slide when pushed. But after 300km or so, the grip kicks in. It's quite a grippy tyre I must admit. I have a feeling it's better than the PS3 in the wet but dry grip I suspect the PS3 is better.

Based on use in VR this is the best so far, but have not tried PS3.....:smokin:

Ya expensive to try, but I have friend in Klang that can get cheap. Like my 16" only RM360+ for Michelin PS3 instead of others selling at RM420-RM440. My buddy price though.

Chipping is mostly due to driving style. If you like to lean hard on corners then most tires especially those softer UHP ones will also have chipping. Practically all my tires no matter if normal eco tires (for example my Conti CC1) or UHP ones (My F1-D5) got chipping.

One of my favourite jobs is headlamp restoration. Though it is hardwork and time consuming sanding with precision, the small area of work allows for undivided attention to perfect the process.

Headlamps turn yellow with age due to deterioration by the sun's UV rays. This is especially severe for most JDM and euro cars. This not only spoils the look of the car, but also reduces light output.

This time, the Evolution VIII MR


Note the blurriness and lack of clarity of the headlamp...
