Replaced all 4 tires recently to GT Radial Champiro HPY.
Love the asymmetric tread patterns, which looks convincing to me.
The tire is indeed harder if compared to my previous N6000, but it doesn't
bother me much. Performance wise, have not try the extreme way yet as its still new.
Tried on wet road surface running at 100km/h, indeed its very stable
especially going through patches of water, hardly feel anything.
Can't wait for another heavier rain to released its full potential.

Overall very satisfied user :top: in terms of its value for money and performance.
Shall update u guys again soon after 1000 km.
Careful there, don't get over confident.

So far, on my VR still handling well. Heard from a friend it may deteriorate after 50% wear, but then most tyres will also.....:rolleyes:

Haha ya haven't change yet to nex 8k.
To what I gather N8000 have very big grooves so aquaplane resistance is very good, however due to big grooves so less rubber the dry traction is weaker....:hmmmm:

Yup, I used to do that and I don't have to pay too much at once by buying two by two. When I don't feel good with the two tyres, then will try another brand/model. But then this have been ongoing for a very long time already.....:biggrin:

PS3 sidewall much softer, HPY more stiff.
Noise, not sure, have not used PS3 but know the sidewall is soft...:driver:

Some test review from UK Tyres Review...

10th: GT Radial Champiro HPY
Overall: The Chinese GT Radial is the cheapest tyre on test, saving you around £100 over a premium rival. As usual, the savings come at an expense - wet handling, though at around 10% off the best tyre on test this is closer than budget tyres have been in the past. In the dry the GT Radial was a little better, just a second off on the dry handling circuit with a sharp, sporty turn in, but still needed nearly three meters further to stop the car under dry braking.

Their model are Chinese Made but still holds it's own, being placed in 10th and being a budget tyre tested against other premium tyres like Conti CSC5, Michelin PS3, GY Asy2, Yoko V105, Dunlop Sport Maxx, Hankook S1 Evo2, Potenza S001 and Pirelli P Zero.

Don't you just love tuners? They take a relatively fast car, replace some parts, do some tuning work and turn it into some fire breathing monster that can easily take on some of the more established barons of speed. This is one fine example by Emotion Wheels. The German tuner usually only works with wheels and this is its second time branching out into the world of total...
