confirm PS2. but prepared to pay a premium. GY is next, but cracking issues reported by several bros here.

PS2 sidewall soft - for people who corner aggressively, no steering happy. CSC3 is average, and RE11 is heavy but point and shoot type. I have used all three on the current car.

The rest are either notorious or ill-covered.

PS2 should be face out already. PS3 is coming.

This is a review from BMW Club Malaysia:
Decided to try the Pilot Sport 3 - PS3s - BMWClubMalaysia.com Forums

Hi

I am planning to change my set of tires soon, currently using stock Bridgestone RE050 R17. Planning to switch to RE011, any recommended tire shop??

Thanks.

The usual suspects - Leong Seng, Hurry, Pitstop.

pzeros. i hv used ps2 n pzeros is very close and feels better in xtreme wet. in dry it is quieter. but then its newer technology compared to ps2. maybe wee bit more expensive too.

Anything but T1R, sucks in wet, think it's for drifting, used it before.

Re: Which Tyre ? - time to change

GY F1 ASY 225/40/18 out of stock due to crack issues warranty claim. New stock has not arrived and no official release that new stock would not have the same crack issues.

Toyo T1R wears off very fast, not value for money. IMO

Re: Which Tyre ? - time to change

I see the cars in some ang moh magazines using Hankook V12. Anyone have any experience? I think PS2 no doubt is the best. Used it on previous ride and current ride. Quiet and grippy. Changing tires soon too so this thread is gd :woottt:

Re: Which Tyre ? - time to change

F1 Asym is good in dry but does not provide quite good grip in wet...

Re: Which Tyre ? - time to change

According to feedback Korean tires very soft and wear out very fast.

Re: Which Tyre ? - time to change

Sorry to hijack the thread, just like to ask a noob question, hope can find some help here.

If my original tyres are 225 front, 255 back, will I be able to put in 235 front, 265 back? Do i need to add in spacer or anything?
I'm running on orignial 225M rims with 225/35/19 and 255/30/19, time to change tyres but can't find too much tyre choices with this profile.

The wheel width is more critical in deciding the tyre width, not the offset, hence spacers are irrelevant.

The 225 wheels are 19x8 F 19x9 R, so you can fit 235/265 combo. That is the max you can go.
