vr2turbo, recent batch of PS3 anymore chipping issue?

Not too sure, because happens later in use, not when new....

In 15" which tire performs better than PS3 in wet sans aquaplaning?

Overall I think still PS3 the best in 15" category. If just on aquaplaning, the C-Drive 2 also quite good because got big deep grooves but traction not too good as mid category and also going to discon also.....lol

1 year means 2015 manufactured tyres?

yet to try the Fleva on the road, but that's what we use in the Malaysian Touring Car class (MTC) at the Malaysia Championship Series in Sepang. It was quite a huge change for all MTC class drivers having to transition from Hankook Z221 semi slicks early last year. MTC never ran anything other the semi slicks for years so almost every driver was cursing at the grip deficit. But as the dust settles, most drivers now concur that the Fleva is pretty impressive for a road tyre with decent grip, although the tyre hardly transfer rubber like how we are used to seeing, but as an endurance tyre, the Fleva lasts almost forever.

From Z221 semi to Fleva is a few steps down, for track sure a lot of difference...

I think the chipping still happens, many in other forums also still mention about this.

How many km already? Usually it happens when about half or less of the tire treads but depends on driving style and condition also.

You have to bear in mind for street tires, aquaplane resistance and wet performance matters more than outright dry performance, as we wouldn't know where's that standing puddle of water on public roads. On a track, it is consistent.

Hehe maybe wait till they have some wet races then. Though my guess is it should be decent, no worse than F1D5 in the wet. Anyway don't drive fast in the wet la.
