Just avoid Michelin, I accidentally hit the curb the other time and had to replace the entire tyre. Was using Michelin and it was just a light bump against the curb. The tear was huge!

Mind telling more details?
Michelin what?

I would expect it from Silverstone, but what spec & how old?

Bridgestone

Run-flats lor. Those have very rigid sidewalls

Yeah, avoid michelin. Last time use michelin and it come out with 'bonjol'. Tire flats after run 180km/h on KESAS.

All michelin tyres? cam mana 'bonjol" & went flat?

Bro, u mean Bridgestone My-o1?

even silverstone m5 i run 190kmh no bonjol2 lo.. maybe that michelin was old.. TS maybe u wanna try kenda brand.. my dad use it for his perdana v6 too and feels like the tires are harder than normal

it depends on models i guess
if not why mercedes amg, porsche all use michelin PS2/3

It was only 1.5 months old!!!

Hmm! A small stone chip enough to puncture the damn bridgestone on my vehicle.
Within seconds, complete lost of air pressure.
Tubeless steel belted radial KONONNYA!

How about Yokohama A drive??

Damn...possible manufacturing flaw as the tyre was introduced just over a year ago.

Maybe because of the soft compound used in the tyre ?

a.drive was an entry level tires. if you're looking for a harder sidewall, re001 or ad08 in ep class, else, s.drive or toyo t1r in uhp class is decent enough.
other than that, goodyear asymmetric for overall performance is worth looking at too.
make sure to pump 'em at correct pressure.

and yes, michellin lc series are of low rolling resistance tires, thus slightly softer and lower tread wear rate.
currently on my 2nd set of michellin ps3, which is so far, the best value for money in uhp tires class.

wow.. 1.5mths only. I'm using PP2 btw, 210kmh no problem at NSHW for long period.

semi slick?

tat is ur prob for being careless man~
nobody ask go so near n accidentally hit d wall~
tat primacy lc jus for totally comfort use~
if u wan harder side walls will b pp2 bfgoodrich cuz they came wit rim protector~
