Bought my j5 2 months back. Mileage around 2000km. Is this type of wear normal? Seems like bad composition design to me.
more like a bad alignment/under inflation to me or u like cornering fastDunlop SP Sport J5, new tyre in the market

QUOTE(RE57 @ Dec 6 2016, 09:10 AM) previous tyre: dunlop sp sport 300 (mileage ~100,000k, f/c ~20km/l) wow 100k km.. most of the time highway travel?condition of tyre just reached the wear indicator, not even botak. changed recently to :dunlop sp sport J5 (hope to hit another 100k with this tyre, but f/c ~19km/l) much quieter compared to sport 300 overall i still feel good choice. at least Buatan malaysia mah. i do observe short trip and multi storey carpark shorten tires life a lot |

QUOTE(ktek @ Feb 13 2017, 11:29 AM) brake and hard corner only will not know. sendiri syok only. me find easier to test brake.. jam brake to a certain extend on some quiet wet roads from a certain speed usually around 70kph.. see how much effort i can put into the brake until the brake lock up.. it does not take much to make my iriz oem m5 wheel locked.. but for ps3, so far i have not find a right time to do thatuse speedo meter + common road u pass. there is a junction i always masuk @ 80kph with plenty random tyre. the car understeer out. i purposely see how bad it go. so far not yet hit tiang or motor ah pek / pedestrian who not follow the red light same pattern every day for pass 10yr becos i work there in and out. so we have rainy day and sunny day. brake is not easy becos the pad condition will affect. now car has abs will affect how i test. so i dunno. anyway how do u test? but for cornering part really dont know how to test safely on public road. |
