Actually the RE-01R's grip much better in the wet than other semis... but as with any semi slick.. once the treadwear passes the 50% mark.. aquaplaning is a sure thing. You get better dry grip though.

 

[evoX2]

currently i am using BS potenza RE 010, performance wise not bad. wonder if it still available in malaysia?

 

[shiroitenshi]

Resurrecting the tire thread... haha

Been running the RE001 Adrenalin for quite a while now (a year plus?), and they're due for change. Touching the treadwear mark already. After correcting camber, tire wears evenly now. Worth it to correct the camber when driving long distances. It doesn't affect tire wear as much as toe, but when long-distance travelling, it counts.

Review wise,
Tire doesn't aquaplane easily even with 20% threads left, unlike semis.
Grip gets lousier as thread wears.
(this is pretty normal, except for semi slicks which has best grip in mid-wear limit)
Sidewall is strong (I kerb'ed and escaped with nothing but a slight scratch on the sidewall)
Treadwear is so-so. About the same as my RT-215s previously.

UTCQ rating is 280-AA-A (which is about right)

Have to replace em' now
So went to the nearest shop to get a quote.
But I got a shocker on the pricing.

RM390 for ONE 205/50R15.. WTF?

Anyone know's of a better deal? or it looks like I'm going to be back to Neova's again... with their less-than-great wet grip.

 

[nksc]

wow dats expensive..
how much is the neova same size??:hmmmm:

 

[shiroitenshi]

Got wind that it's still below RM300. I'm trying to get something around 350 and below.. but no dice for now... but that's because I don't have time to shop around yet, so I'm asking if any zth'ers know of any other tyres in that price range.

 

[nksc]

im using adrenalin too but 195/55r15..last time about rm300 per piece..quite mahal kot bcoz x sempat survey dat time..was really need to change.would like to try neova if cheaper but then wet grip issue..

That's about right, but if you're using 15x7JJ, 205 is a better choice.. see above picture I added to my earlier post.

Good tires not cheap.. the only tires that are cheap are the ones that are not SOLD overseas..

didn't pass regulations I guess.

The other choice is the Falken Ziex 912.. which is WWAAAYY cheaper, but I can't get the 205/50R15 size even though it's listed as available on the website.

 

[nksc]

new model tyres like adrenalin got this outside inside kind of things rite..wat is actually the advantage of this??
how about toyo T1R ?? how much for the size u want?

[shiroitenshi]

I forgot what the name is.. rim protector? It's to prevent scratching your rim edges when you accidentally 'kerb' your car (scrape with the white and black stone block at the side of the road.)

T1R is also below RM300 at the moment for 195/55R15

Also cannot find 205/55R15.

 

[vorph]

Anyone tested the GY Assurance oredi? How is it? What price (195/55R15)?
