Asy 2 is RM460 and HPY is RM320 last time for 215/45R17. Asy2 is better but more expensive also.
For bro. dayline 225/40R18 will cost much more....
SX2 better in traction, more expensive, more bumpy but this is his priorities...
"Mainly looking for comfort sport, put very low mileage on weekend awd wagon"
SX2 is overkill.....hahhahaha
So after 4 years of use, finally saying Goodbye to my GT Radial Champiro HPY. The rubber compound have harden, fine cracks have appeared on the thread pattern, grooves, traction have dropped greatly, shoulder pattern have bruising.
Shoulder pattern bruising/cracking
Grooves also have cracks
When the tyres were compress to remove from the rims, the sidewall cracked also
Conclusion:
As mentioned in the first part of this thread, the GT Radial have serve me very well. Traction and handling were good. Price cheaper than other branded UHP tyres. Is only the rubber compound did not last against our hot humid weather. The fine cracks and shoulder pattern bruising started after 3 years used. I have been holding on for another year until the 4th year before changing them out because they have become very bad already.
Of course if can finish the tyres before 3 years, worth using. I have recommended to a friend using 225/45R17 in his PUG308T, and he did mention value for money. He finished them is 2 years and on his second set already....

Hmm how many km of usage? Treads still quite thick actually.
My F1-D5 last time had a lot less cracks but a lot less tread left (shoulder almost bald and middle approaching the marker) and lots of chipping until some can see the nylons/belts inside. I used them for about 50k km in around 3.5yrs.

Cannot remember the mileage since I travel less the last 2 years. But for those who wants durability, no point keeping tyres pass 4 years as the compound will harden and traction will be less......
I suspect with that amount of tread left, you have only used them for about 30+k km.
Yes exactly! That's why I keep saying no point looking for durability but go for performance tires unless you are a taxi driver!

But you will be surprised still have many going for durability.
Like I mentioned before my ex lady colleague who drives a few km to work daily. After 5 years still have like 80 to 90 pattern. Outstation use husband's car. Then when she sold her car, use car dealer came pick up her car, drive on federal highway, one tyre burst.......lol

See 99.9% of people are not like you and me, they think tire is just all the same black rubber donut to roll on dirt and shit on the road, so why spent much money on them? Since have to pay some money, then become very cheapskate and want to get the longest usage out of them to avoid paying again. People rather spend on bling2 stupid rims but settle for shitty tires coz they look cool! :stupid:
