not too familiar with the sx1 so it may be semi slicks anyways lol

and if you're buying from honest/reputable seller, 2nd tires may not be that bad... i got my 1 piece used cc5 tire from nestum also

what the manufacturing date of your used tire though? if it's more than 3-4 years i wouldn't bother as well unless it's really dirt cheap.

wa ganas i also dun corner that fast

more than 5 years

i will listen a.... i intend to keep my 16" forever for daily ride

even track usage, 17" (225/45/17 or 215/50/17, MUST have that optimal sidewall thickness, not too thick not too thin) max. 18" is pointless not to mention insane tire price lol

where got good? problem banyak, proton reject my case, in the end, no soul fake car.

savvy

Aiyo I super slow poke

eh what happened? maybe got time to work on the grounding cables?

since i dont have drl, i tend to have it on during my midnight runs so people can spot me and give way (and still that doesn't quite work )

other than that, i really find no reason for them fog lamps lol... went up genting so many times also never really encounter fog lol

nice compilation bro

Bosch oem? the bottle look like those bosch metal bottles (which i still have 1 DOT 5.1 bottle lol)

bendix should be ok, heard many good words about it

engine oil?

oohhh, the 07's.

but hor if you really believe those tire rating, my cc5 is pretty highly rated also
it's on H rating... but i sure as hell don't feel the road anymore past 180kph

Toyo R888 semi slicks.

good luck with them on regular roads especially during down pour
although i've heard MANY enthusiasts claiming it's OK in wet conditions so eh maybe i no skill la

well, the ideal conditions are of anyone's guess. and for the record i did them on straight road/stock car condition with pretty much stock tire pressure.
unless Proton messed up on what's ideal for the tire, then that's another story entirely.
and controlled conditions would refer to what? on a dyno ramp? imho public roads (especially in Malaysia) aren't controlled conditions at all.

Point being, ratings are there as a guideline, not a definitive indication of how the tires can do.
in fact not too long ago i've had a debate on TWI on the tire forums which ended in mostly an agree to disagree fashion (many notable points i must say).

although yes the tires obviously didn't fail/explode and i'm still alive today posting this very post.

davidke20 no you don't have to prove anything; in fact my post was merely to poke fun of how tire ratings can be very misleading (even from Yokohama or any other major brands)
Driving safely is more important after all, right? (yes i know, not convincing coming from me and all)

i mean, 360 TWI is supposed to be damn long lasting right? Well this is my CC5 after 11k km

granted, many users did report that their cc5 are very capable of 30-50k ++ km's.
in fact i had just met a customer at nestum 's place that replaced his set of cc5 after over 50k-60k km of primarily long distance highway usage.

and while it may seem unconvincing of myself to say that i don't particularly worship Yokohama (or any brand in particular), i happen to get most of my tires being Yokohama considering who i deal with for the most part. I get good pricing and most of the time in comparison of similar models of the tires nestum carries are not as attractive maybe because of pricing difference as he carries Yokohama more and maybe he get better dealer pricing with higher sales volume (the shop sign boards is a give away, no?)

Had i deal with other tire shops, i probably would be using other brands and you'd probably call me out for worshiping other brands and quite honestly i just find that very annoying. (which i get that vibe all the time in a particular thread unfortunately)

hell, i wanted to give a shot to BS RE-11A but to my dismay even Singapore distro do not carry them and the ones floating in SG market are all grey import (yes i've called Singapore Bridgestone directly)

What about Dunlop/BF goodrich? I know Dunlop's being carried by a particular motorsport shop in Sunway (need i say more? lol)
And BF goodrich is kinda non existent here.
(if you guys have lobang though do let me know)

Then there's Hankook RS-3
I've heard GREAT reviews from it and most feedback that it's even gripper on dry than the Yokohama AD08R

however, it's generally more expensive than the AD08R, and it last only half as much mileage/track days in comparison. (technically double the cost if you need 2 sets of tires for the same mileage/amount of track days)
even some of my inspira friends mentioned roughly "Korean tire more expensive than Japanese tire? wan meh?!" (i know, country/branding stereotyping isn't good, but hey it's not like i'm not being given the same treatment as we speak right?)

so where do i turn to in the end by process of elimination? There you have it.

Motorsport in Malaysia is still in a very sad state ever since i've begin to get involved in it, and until today i still don't see the light at the end of the tunnel

That's why I've given up on trying to "explain facts" (for the most part) since it'll just be viewed the wrong way anyways.
Attention whore perhaps, but when it goes to fanboism/worshiping on a particular brand just because i chosen it then it just get awfully annoying.

In the early days when i was beginning to be interested in cars somewhere back in 2009 i thought this would be a whole lot different than the pc hardware communities (intel vs amd, nvidia vs ati so on so forth)
It didn't took me long to realize that the problem was humans themselves, and when the root cause is the same no matter which community i go, the problem follows.


worshiper after i explained, worshiper even if i don't explain. lol

and like i said from this post, humans? who's taking said kopi o? that's why lo lol
and yes happened numerous times at elite too... wasn't hard for my iswara that's pretty much stock with a stock ish s flow muffler to pass lol.

Achilles ok a, i used the 123 semi slick after all...
too unnerving on wet thus sold it later on
