If like that memang need to narrow down criteria.

Grip (dry+wet) , dont care treadwear and noise.

not sure if the hankook v12 would fall in your rm200 price range, but if it does can consider that too.

additionally, if you top up a bit you may consider nankang ns2r, although be warned that the road noise might be a huge turn off laugh.gif

maybe can help this mei mei la

I've already tried FZ201, R888, RSR, currently using NS2R. , while this ride that I'm going to change is for use during raining only, most of the time is parking one. This ride tried V12 Evo and ZE912, both not really good.

How about Dunlop FM901 and Maxxis MA-Z1 Victra?

no idea on the dunlop/maxxis, though if you think the v12 evo isn't good, i'm afraid it may be a bit hard to get tires that could be up to your standards. especially when you've tried the likes of fz201/r888/rsr/ns2r.

to be honest, you're probably better off going back to the extreme tires, just not the semi slicks that may be bad in rain - eg: rsr/ns2r

more like, it's a bit hard to recommend uhp/high performance tires with rm200/piece budget
*
Those semi slick tires are put in my ride and those V12 and 912 were in my bro Gen2, now going to change it. So basically different driver laugh.gif
So... Have to find tires for his ride, and here totally no FM901, Z1 Victra and Toyo DRB user?

toyo drb probably got some users around... though i'd reckon people would be on the T1R more

btw, you could probably consider nitto neogen or the nt555 as well smile.gif
i've heard good feedback from the neogens

Nitto.....
Can't get in Penang at all -.-
Achilles tires also don have liao yo!! cry.gif

Honestly you're asking the impossible with that budget. RM200 budget ultimate grip closest I can think of is NS2R, but that turns to crap below 50% threads so it's only short-term grip. PS3 is at RM280~ ish so that's out of the question. V12 can't satisfy you. Honestly I ran out of tires to suggest sweat.gif
*
It seems really hard to find best bang per buck tires.
So I just ordered my Proxes R1R and I take out my ride NS-2R and put into my bro ride, winrar!!!

Full slicks. kompom sedap

Cannot, we tested Silverstone FTZ full slick before, on street langsung cannot pakai, need too much warm up. No idea, hehe...
Anyway, thanks for all the suggestion biggrin.gif

Well, if you ask this question 3 years back, the Achilles 123 can be had for just RM170 laugh.gif

Now the price is around RM280 liao rclxub.gif

True, out of sudden rubber price increase like rocket, when I first used my R1R it was RM290 rclxub.gif
Anyway, some poison brows.gif

many months ago i called Singapore for that, nope only RE11.
RE11A is imported by parallel importers.

now got RE-71R replacing the RE11A, so... tongue.gif

How much the price for RE11 that time and what was the size u were asking actually?

Didn't ask for price since I was only looking into RE11A, which RE11A also generally fared poorer than AD08R however I'm still interested in it because it is different being asymmetric compared to the usual directional extreme category tires.

So if RE11A is supposed to be an improvement /revision over the older RE11, obviously my interest in it is at rock bottom laugh.gif

But anyways,  locally officially no bring in any of the extreme category (RE11/RE11A/RE71R).
Singapore only the older RE11, so if got, it'll definitely be parallel import.
*
Based on those reviews that I've read. RE11A can perform same or better than AD08R, but all reviews are not the same as they have different climate and car being tested. No matter what, those reviews stated that both RE11A or AD08R is more than enough for street.

very abang adik stuff

when you're at an extreme end of things, i guess it'll boil down to preference(subjective)/pricing?

personally, i am siding on extreme tires being directional so you can rotate/flip them if needed tongue.gif
not to mention tires that can be acquired easily like the ad08r lol
*
Hey thanks for the link, it seems like 4 of them are not much difference, depend on availability or the price or the bunga pattern only, they are perform almost identical.
Maybe I'll go for RE11A, gonna find them or ask my fren taht can import for me biggrin.gif

You're welcome.

well i am still interested on the RE11A since they are asymmetrical and theoretically, it could offer better feedback/response during cornering due to different/separated tread pattern (and possibly even compound) designs.

but the thing is, Bridgestone eventually went back to directional on their RE71R, probably upon realization they just couldn't develop further/compete better with asymmetrical designs?

purely assumption/discussion purpose on my end here so your feedback after usage would be very valuable.
have you used ad08r before on the same ride/rim etc? if so even better if you can provide us a comparison! biggrin.gif
*
My AD08R and R1R were both in 195/55/15 last time, this is for another ride.
I've no idea why it goes back to directional but it should be alright as no matter how, it is still a powerful Potenza flex.gif
Have you tried RE-11 before?

unfortunately nope, only extreme i personally tried was ad08r sad.gif
very limited experience i know, hence why i'm exploring beyond laugh.gif

Anyway, what size you're in? So far I've tried R1R, R888, 595RSR, FZ201, Champiro SX1, SX2 and also AD08R, and the worst NS2R from Nankang. laugh.gif
