well your choice...

you lowered ur ride that is a limitation already so choose a size which will not hit ur fender...
that tire thread looks good but will be noisy... if you don mind u can try...
So you suggest that i go for Hankook V12 instead for quieter ride?

i just trashed a set(x4) of thunderer mach 3(deep directional tread) to the max.
to be honest, i did not expect it to perform in such a way that it was just a rung below the gsd3 in wet(match the gsd3 in traction but lose out in grip).
alos, behave well after 10 minutes of constant driving at average of 190km/h speed which is expected for a zr rating tire except the rubber could be a little soft in high temperature.
only drawback was it's slightly softer sidewall but this can be countered by pumping in a higher psi. so, far it withstand the punishment
quite well.
easily a better buy than the china made kumho ku-36( i sold mine to a friend after using to 2.3k km mileage while
the thunderer is now transferred to my 2nd ride and it's already covered more than 5.8k km mileage) or the more expensive but lousy 522.

i think you mistaken my comment

. i mentioned semi-slick sux in wet and i wasn't referring to thunderer tire at all which is not a semi-slick tire.
so far, this cheap thunderer tire is quite promising. in fact i just transferred the tire to my 2nd ride for further trashing.
was purposely driving at 70km/h during heavy rain in mex highway(after the salak selatan toll to jalan tun razak) the other day and tire did not disappoint.
conclusion ; recommended for those on tight budget but beware of the noise level. ex-gsd3 user should know well

.
Really that good for a new brand? Wow, sadly i had decided to go for Federal 595 SS, will be making my purchase for the tire and new set of rims. However, ill take in consideration the next time.
How bad is the noise level? Is Gsd3 as bad as sime Astar tire?
Sime Astar performance and noise level really
