im using yokohama a drive shoudl be 195/55/r15.. whats the ideal tyre pressure coz im driving old car.. no sticker to tell me the tyre pressure..

what car 1st??..i think around 220kpa-front, 200kpa-rear

was 16". there is one in my garage now. looks like a golden megatron
my previous 205/55/r15 is bloody expensive for a 15" too i might ditch the plan on 225/55/r16 rear due to the
rotating problem. gonna use the same size for all.

what car? 210f /190r should be standard on 195/55/r15. or slightly higher on lighter car. like
225f / 205r

its a ford laser..

GY F1 Assy is over budget now...
erm...falken 912 or yoko a drive r1
my size is 205/45/17

Falken 912 for more comfort but lose a bit on traction... A Drive R1 is directional tires will give you more gripping but a bit noisy...

went to sepang trackday on 22nd nov, my toyota is with 20v engine. using hankook v12 in front. it's very good. whacked all the corners to the max my car can take, and the tires never fails me. after 5 non-stop rounds, it show some sign of oversteering, but still acceptable, only need to relax on the steering to allow earlier straightening. dat day was too much red flags, so impossible to carry on 10laps non-stop. upon checking the tire each time in the pit, the tire never suffers from peeling off and still looks very solid.
camber setting front -2.3", rear -2.0" .

other frens running federal 595-rsr, was highly impressive with this tire also. really worth the average rm300 for 15"

saw a stock satria neo manual running potenza re001, also clocking very good timing.

Whats the timing bro?

averaging 2'55 to 3 on v12.

Thats good bro

thanks. ya i'm surprised too at the tire performance. at first i reluctant to join becoz those V12 still consider street tires, quite sayang to whack the shit outta it. previous street tayar used, those got peeled off. techno 55 (long time ago), then maxxis ma-z1, then parada spec2, all three can't take the extreme push.
occasionally use leftovers from MME slick tires, that time only can fully enjoy the track surface rather than slicing the rubber off.

maxxis tyre sux... yoko parada spec2 isn't for spirited driving as well.
i'd rather use r888 for dry track.

hi guys, i need yours advice on selecting tyres for wira, its on myvi rims, i wish to get 185/60/14 tyres, currently on 175/65/14 tyres. i have eyed on falken-dont know which model(recommendation?), hankook- please recomend me, and bridgestone AR10, also interested to get michelin tyres my concern is mainly grip and handling. thanks in advanced.

ur budget per tyre??..

would be around rm160, i have installed michelin Primacy lc on my standard size waja, i can say it alright for normal usage, pretty silent in the first 5k kilometers.

installed v12 yesterday at teck ming. Alot of improvement over my previous tyre.

what is your previous tire?

Stock tyres silverstone ns500 was tempted to try ns700. only rm149 per tyres.

agree. but at times if can't afford r888, so have to make do with street tires like maxxis or parada. those also can improve your track skill as you'll able to tell if the tire is giving away. only when i'm prepared with ad07 or semi's then dat time will have proper track enjoyment....

currently using 595evo after been using some time i wan to change some wheel setting.

I notice the tire outer wear off higher then my inside tire...

current setting is camber 1.5 maybe later will try camber 1.8~2.0 to reduce the outer wear uneven ...

will i reduce the braking performance in strait line due to the higher camber setting?
