Interesting. The GT Radial Bax 2 had been criticized by a lot of owners being the stock tyres for the Proton Preve Turbo. And the tyre actually has one of the best dry and wet cornering performance behind the Michelin PS3, either ahead or same performance than most listed tyres. Goodyear Assurance Triplemax was rated lower than the Champiro Bax 2, and surprisingly Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 has worse wet cornering than the Bax 2. The much touted Potenza Adrenalin RE002 is rated at 6.5% in wet cornering whereas the Champiro Bax 2 is rated at 8.0%.

Sometimes, I wonder if people are telling the truth on the actual performance of the tyres when they change the old tyres to some new tyres. The notion or experience shared on this forum is most stock tyres are bad, and the new tyres will always be better. Although many people have given poor remarks on the stock tyres of the Proton Preve Turbo (GT Radial Champiro Bax 2), I find the tyres to be good in dry and wet handling, as well as dry braking. I find the rating of the tyre on the website to be rather accurate.

Yes, the wet cornering of the Champiro Bax 2 is 8.0. I didn't mention on the wet braking of the Bax 2.

Yes, I drive the Proton Preve Turbo. I didn't notice the Bax 2 is mentioned to be quieter than the Bluearth tyres. As far as I know the tyres are not very quiet. The Yokohama Bluearth AE50 which is supposed to be quite similar to the AE01 is quiet. Maybe the loud noise I hear from the Proton Preve Turbo is from the engine and not from the Bax 2 tyres. haha..

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 is only better than the GT Radial Champiro Bax 2 in dry braking. Everything else, especially wet braking and wet performance, the RE002 is worse than the Champiro Bax 2.
