Wah RE001 strong supporter...

i never use before but have challenge/ sprint drive with another car that fitted RE001 from japan...
that time i was using chop shop tire yokohama DNA, both our car is same just running different tire and the RE001 have fitted alot of bars .. mine none ...

we push and push also got challenge a RX8 to the peak of genting... we are bumper to bumper from bottom of the hill to peak of the hill ... as u say RE001 so good but still unable to pull away... from chop shop tire... RE001 just so so ...

RE070 is good but only 2 size 18" & 20"
for 18" price is about RM1600 from honda Msia.

I think at this stage only few able to challenge RE070 ..like AD08, R1r, RS-3,Kumho KU-36

Got my PS3's today....feel a lot of difference with my old BF Goodrichs....first, with tonight's heavy rain, the car never flinched a little cruising at 160kmph, so wet performance is definitely great.....

The tyre also got a thumbs up for my wife who commented that it is more silent and comfortable than the previous set.

Will give further reviews after a touge in C. Highlands with these set of tyres

i was told new sets of tyre should be stressed out like that, at least let it run smoothly for around 500km or so, then only start using its full potential performance of the tyre
btw, you said the PS3 was good on comfort, do try the performance and get back to us alright? biggrin.gif

Post #234

Pilot Sport series quality control is very very strict and the difference in quality, if any, between an Asean manufactured one compared to non Asean manufactured one is very negligible. Not to worry if the purchased PS3 is Asean manufactured or EU or Japan manufactured smile_thumbup.gif

Latest update on my PS3...even senior citizen whom I've given lifts the last few weeks commented that my ride has become sooo much more softer and comfortable...in their limited knowledge on car modification, they asked me "...what did I do to my absorbers/suspension system?" I just grinned and said, "...pasang absorber lembut sikit supaya dapat tahan lubang-lubang kat jalanraya kita" Bear in mind, this difference in softness and comfort is noticeable even compared to my outgoing GY Eagle F1 Asy, which was already a very comfortable tyre smile_blush.gif

Most important update...lately, I was able to drive the PS3 in torrential rain both in country roads and the highways...all I can say is this...up to now I subjectively found the PS2 being very closely superior in the wet compared to the GY Eagle F1 GSD3 (to me the king of wet traction and wet handling). But now I stand to be corrected....subjectively to me, THE PS3 JUST TOPPLED THE GY Eagle F1 GSD3 from this position and is now my new benchmark of the king of wet traction and wet handling smile_thumbup.gif smile_thumbup.gif smile_thumbup.gif

Couple that with its already superior dry handling and high speed stability and pricing, I can safely say Michelin has struck the near perfect formula in performance tyre production smile_clown.gif

Now to see how long during its treadwear will PS3 retain these strengths? Will it still deliver these superior features up to 60% worn vs 70% vs 80% worn vs 90% worn? To me, if it can last up to 80% to 90% worn, it is indeed GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY smile_approve.gif But that is yet to be proven smile_blush.gif

nah 100km is more than enough... it grips well u can do corners about 10~2km/h compare to others UHP tires like Michelin PP2 and Hankook V12 evo...

welcome to the club, PS3 can be consider as UHP but it was listed as a extreme tire at most of the website as PS2 was in extreme category also... once u used a tire like this grade you will hardly find another tire like that next time... that was my problem after swap to Michelin PP2 on end of 2006, until now i never turn back to lower range of tire, UHP tire was fitted to my Vios since then...

Most probably on the 10th of april...got a wedding up there to attend in the afternoon and driving back the next day

I fitted it on my civic and now i feel that the PP2's on my optra is totally inferior in silence and comfort....darn, these PP2s have another 30,000kms left in them at least...im pretty sure I'm totally sold to PS3's now. I originally wanted RE001's for the civic but nobody seems to have them in stock. One dealer in perak even quoted RM270 each for one and must be pre-ordered.

RE001 is a bit over price la... RM270 i can get Federal 505 Evo which is good also, bro Vios fitted with it... at 1st Toyo T1R and this was in my mind then i was freaking happy that PS3 is on the way also... so i jump into PS3 without thinking twice after i ask about the price as it is cheaper than RE001, T1R and also 595 Evo...

Parada good???? haha i think u prefer comfort with performance... Parada is nothing compare to RSR and R1R la... but u must buy tires by priority, grip in dry and wet??? then comfort or handling??? and do you hate noisy tires... then u only u filter the tire that you want...
if you are using Parada then i think you are on 195/50 R15...

R16 is very expensive, been told that it is around RM400... a lil over but 17" is just a few tenth of ringgit from it which is consider reasonable for max performance tire...

thanks micheal.
btw, 400 bucks is reasonable. my odd size 15" also cost almost the same.
from the review, seems like it has a good traction in wet and dry. gonna get the 17" for my other ride soon.
was 235/45/r17. typo error blush.gif

haha... call up and ask them... better be quick the promo period might finish soon then the price will be around 5% more expensive than now...
read the review that i paste in from AW forum... that guy used GY GSD3, Michelin PS2 b4... he is very happy indeed with the PS3 performance and rank it as good as the GY GSD3 (wet performance king) in wet, and he did mention it might out perform GY GSD3 also...

yea cos it is max category and ppl's review it as good as or a lil better than GY GSD3 which is the trademark for wet performance...
