But most people commented Michelin tyres not suitable drive in M'sia road due to the design problem, especially at raining day, the water flow not fast enough. No doubt its smoothness and quiet, but get botak also fast... then u have to change another set liao... haha.. biggrin.gif

Haha...those talk are from yesteryears...PP2 can cut water like a knife...hehe although not as surgical as the GYF1...but its up there with the best.
Dun let the grand daddy old scool thread patterns fool you..Michelin have done their home work...but PP2 for me are a bit on the rough side although can be said soso quite tires.

how about Dunlop D01 ....... anyone have any experience with it.

last time Dunlop was very good tyre ... but not sure now

Yup...rubbish tires...you can't even go a bit faster on the round about...in fact you have to slow down a lot.

Dunlop does make good tires...but I've yet to see one is a very long time except the old SP9000 and Sportmaxx (not supported in M'sia).
Ever since Dunlop using Sumitomo rubber, the Malaysia range of Dunlop tires are worthless.
Another lousy tire is the Barum...borrow my friends Waja, floored the accelerator and all hell broke loose.

My Waja friend than toke a ride in my stock Vios (with uprated tires and suspension) just to show him what really good tires are about and his jaws dropped.
Very - very late braking, snapping the rears and the car just corners like it was on rails.

Try V12 Evo if got size. 100% better than Dunlop D01.

A lot of accidents and lost lives could be avoided if ppl pay attention to their driving and also tires used...so no point in skimping on tires. Get a good one. If using 15inch and below, most top range tires are still affordable.

maybe if stock BMW come with 17" if we downgrade to 15" got more power laugh.gif

WRC car i think only 15" or 16" what they want to the best time and to win the race, not win the chick and become rempit (edisi kereta)

90% of the time ppl. use huge rims just for cosmetic changes.

I kinda agree, WRC cars use those sizes, last month (or was it two months back), Toyota brought in a TRD prepared Vios for the Sepang track using 14inch hmm.gif
