not from Thailand la... Korean Tire made in Korea... Directional thread what do you expect... but still ok ok for my lo...
compare to PP2 it is still noisier... but S Drive much more noisier than V12 if not mistaken...

well bro how can u compare a entry level tire to UHP... the softness of A drive is like Primacy LC... for comfort...
PP2 if you say comfort... then i duno y ppl who drives honda complaint about... FYI got a few reviews from ppl who use PP2 in their CT or Civic... 1 word "harsh" ride...

are you sure ar... the test done by Opel S drive falls behind Hankook V12 evo and Michelin PE2 (PP2 thread but different tire compound) RE001 not to mention but it is darn expensive, but not as expensive as AD08... T1R thread life also very short...

Bro Gouki, ya it is not that good in wet cornering but dry it still do what ever it takes... and also it is Asymmetric tires not directional and it is more quiet compare to a lot of UHP tires...
i know tat nothing comes with all but for me at least V12 noise is still bearable but it have good amount of grip... i did not dare to try others UHP tires which a AW forumer told me to forget about others as i look for UHP with quiet drive... PP2 give me quiet until about 40% left... Hankook V12 used about 6 months already still bearable... now Federal 595 Evo and also Toyo T1R i'm quite interested but not sure about their noise level, but i expect T1R to be quite quiet also coz it has soft compound also...

@michael9413@
yeah! agree with you. pp2 was good in fast cornering but losing out on wet grip and thread life
my opinion could be biased; caused by the suspension setup and tyre presure in my car the last time around.
feel comfy' with pp2 back then; while am still on comfort suspension. ever since i shifted to 'stone hard' tein adjustable on my lousy car,
the slight different in tyre can be feel straight away

btw, among the directional thread i've d try, v12's noise level was the most tolerable.


am tempted to try federal. oly, any federal tyre on 205/55/r15?

if stock civic come in 17" is not PP2 but older version calll PP a.k.a pilot preceda~

What's a good tire & rim shop in sunway?


Hup Shun isn't good right. How bout Teck Ming. or L.S


Or any other place that is in the Klang Valley with several which is awesome and your favourite place.

Been using AD07 and lovin it, now ard 60% left so im wondering what shud i get next? For 195/55/15 whats the current price for AD08 and RE001? Thx

michael9413,
just want to ask u got alot of tire info ... where u from maybe 1 day yam cha...

haha got info... no la... talk a lot with gang... i'm from USJ... have a gang who like tire and grooming... we are having TT every month...

Bro CheeAnn... i know, all PP series tire will not have soft side wall... PP or PP2 same cos i used both b4

pp is much harder compound of rubber in compare wit pp2 as i've use then n also lots of feed back from customers~

yea but u can skip both if you wan comfort... am i correct???
some feedbacks is when u put it with Honda CT and Civic the ppl behind will have buttock massage... the ride is harsh...

wah...why ah??....speedtrap??...slippery road??...the way to genting right?? after the RM5 toll..?

at karak alot accident is caused by purpose.
example : puting poil on road so ur car can skid n hit something , 15min time you'l see a tow-car come offer u help

Also genting-batang kali road. Be very-very careful. ALways on the lookout for anything strange on the road.

so bro when is the coming next yam cha? maybe i can join....

well as i said becareful lo... there sometimes suddenly got jam one... u know what happen in front lo...

last time me & my friend got go batang kali to test tire too but 1st 1~2 run was check the road condition ... the road was very smooth but some time got falling branch or falling land ... becarefull

I've Hankook shoes... it's actually OK only... but in wet, quite bad.. even in dry.. it's acceptable.. quite squishy
I've moved on to Falken Ziex... it's cheaper and better in everything compared to Hankooks... which surprised me really

yea u r correct and also sometimes ppl take over ur lane during corner... careful and pls remind urself dafety 1st and ur beloved ones...

@loong2020@
batang kali -genting and certain strecth at karak highway...esp. near the river is kinda like haunted
btw, be extra careful when driving at midnight too. once, i saw a big signboard in the middle of the road.
luckily i managed to avoid it. could be purposely put there by those unresponsible tow truck driver.

@michael9413@
aren't the ride is a bit harsh on 35 - 36 psi? are you on stock suspension, btw?
have you try the federal tyre? considering that the price of 16" ad08 is still sky high,
am kinda tempted to give it a go.

well have not try Federal... but Hankook V12 has soft compound and also soft side wall still ok lo...
almost like PP2 with 34 PSI but still more comfort...
my Vios all stock...

if you want harder side wall tires you can consider S Drive also but it is a lil noisy la... RE001??? 15" for AD08 already RM400 16" around RM500 kua... at that price i duno whether i wanna try or not... next might be Federal..

noted. thanks.
currently on s.drive 205/55/r15 rear. as expected from directional thread....it's not just a lil noisy but damn noisy tlr and re001 wasn't in my mind. wanna try other brand. looking around for avid hs4 but to not avail.
since i prefer directional thread at the rear. next up could be federal.
