Kelisa ride/handling problems

[stupidcar]

But anyway cannot do much in 165/55R14 size, unless can find PP2 like Bro. SF or use BS RE-030. Others are entry level tyres only. Even NCT5 consider not bad when new, Your NCT5 are already after 50% so the performance is pretty bad now. Even NCT5 do not have in this size. The lower Duraplus and Ducaro only have.....:rolleyes:

No la, I mean he asked if Hankook its okay or not. We need the actual model ma.

Yes, Hankook also have many models, but what I am trying to say in Kelisa tyre size of 165/55R14 very little choices as bro. SF have found also. No performance tyres in this size for Hankook

Ya is a sad sad world for K-Car owners like us. Tyre manufacturers no look up to us small cars
PP2 adi discontinued. Even if can find, can only pray that it is not that old. I think if 3 years old still can buy if it can last about 2 years.

Threadwear is 240 if not wrong, but then seems the thread left still a lot in my kelisa coming close to 2 years. Sometimes only whack corners but not hardcore kind of whack

15" also that time the size we mentioned also not much variety right bro?
165/50/15?
Archilles K sports have for this 15" and 14" but then wet time die la.

Ya, but I do tend to forget, I need to repeat the process or listen to it more than once at times. Slow learner That's why i think next round DIT i better note down whatever things im learning.

But K Sports that one is just sports pattern, not really semi slick.
In the wet should be okay gua.

LOL! This one just stated by vr2turbo once before. How can a tyre have semi slick pattern and not a semi slick?

30-40 is quite slow and since your tyres are new, it can't be. What is the year of the tyre? If corner + sudden hard breaking on wet, is possible to skid. Cuz rear tyres will lock, then when is wet, is even worse. Really no puddle of water when you recalled? Maybe only little oil spilled by trucks or buses?

I skidded before on my silverstone tyres during a corner. About 70% thread left. Drizzling only, ground is wet. During the corner, I stomp the brake hard and I skidded. Lol. Saved by the curb.

I couldn't recall whether there was water or oil spill as i didn't went to the area to check... lol checking my car's crash impact was the only the thing running in my mind during that time :(

I didn't brake hard or downshift too, just released my throttle and attempted to slowly take the corner. I learned my lesson on how hard braking can lead to skidding in my last crash... lolll :rolleyes:

If car handles well in the dry, then it is either tyre problem or something on the road at that corner. Oil and water is one of the most slippery surface. The Kerinchi link from KL have got many victims already. Buses usually spill diesel in that corner and when it rains many cars have skidded and hit the wall. I have actually seen a SUV skid in this same spot.
Coming back to you what model of Hankook tyre are you using?
Ventus, Optimo or Kinergy range?

The model is Optimo Meo2 bro. I'm not too sure whether its an all weather tyre but they certainly perform better in the dry than my previous silverstones...

Bro, don't judge things by brands. Goodyear NCT5 is shit but Goodyear Eagle F1 asy damn magnificent. Right? Give us the model, VR2 sifu can advise.

I have a hunch its you bought bad spec tyres.

Yeah bro, I thought so too. I was on a budget that time, couldn't really for good tyres. Plus 14 inch tyre choices are rather scarce..

sudah notified my tyre model btw...

Then seriously I think is oil spilled la bro. The main point is that, is your kelisa now okay or not after repaired and etcs? Do u still skid during similar corners at other areas when is wet? If no, then the higher possibility is that you were unlucky to hit an oil patch.

So far I have yet to get the chance to corner my car in the wet. No heavy rain since the day of my crash. -.-
My car is okay now I guess, cornering in the dry seems to have no issues though...

Semi Slick is defined by threadwear and compound ma.
