reef_d@ not really familiar with bangi but if you come from kl nse via sungai besi toll plaza entering bangi toll plaza and passed the 2 roundabout to bandar baru bangi market, the tyres shop is on the right side. else, try thisGKWong@ D01's compound is just too hard the tread will last for years. i guess it was more suitable for rough asphalt and gravel road in east malaysia. for that price, can't complaint much. perhaps, wait till the tyres fully run-in and see how its perform. btw, are you driving a hatchback?

I am driving Wira sedan  So far i using it still not fully run-in, still very quiet run from the tyres. After another few 100km milege i will test it more aggresive Based on the review from the article below they said it performed very well at cameron highland route. http://www.autoworld.com.my/v2/news/nb_det...D=RT.ATC.CAR.FS

GKWong@ fyi, during a 'touge' trip with friends, the d01(rear) survived an average speed of 160km/h down from cameron to simpang pulai. but it was partly help by the good suspension setup. the gps which was sticking to gecko pad sway and drop while the car still planted to the road  . anyway d01's sux' in wet.

Make me pening la~  It's like asking whether Tomato or Chilli will taste better on your burger  There's no "best" as both would have it's pros and cons.

Edwin89@ both had it's own pros and cons. with directional tread usually perform better in downpour due to the tread's pattern and depth. but this will be very much depend on compound material.cons; it tend to be noisy and in some case, get the better of alignment. overall, asymmetric tread pattern offer a quieter ride and very minimal wind noise generated by the tires.
