QUOTE(Jasonlee1603 @ May 20 2015, 10:25 PM) Have to agree with you on that. Used to drive myvi which has stock Silverstone Powerblitz 1800 tyre on it. Real rubbish tyre. Skidded on straight damp road, and the best part is I'm not travelling fast at all (around 50km/h) Wow i had good experience with powerblizt really, in heavy rain 100kmh, the right side hit water puddle while overtaking at that speed no skid ma. In fact change to it again before yhe shop recommended me oem myvi tires.

QUOTE(Jasonlee1603 @ May 21 2015, 08:48 PM) Wow. I've never tried travelling at that speed with the Silverstone tyre. Never trusted their tyre at all till I changed to C Drive 2 last time. I'm not sure about you though but I've skidded a little with that tyre for no apparent reason. Never going back to that brand anymore (at least for me). Yea the only reason that I switched to other brand/model is because you know la gatal mau try itu ini but powerblizt I really like it in sense price vs performance even Toyo Neo 3 is lagging behind in term of wet stability. But I do agree that road condition and other abnormalities experienced by each of us are different so I might've skidded too if I;m in the same situation as yours.

QUOTE(xxboxx @ May 22 2015, 01:29 PM) Powerblitz wet performance is better than Neo 3?? I must be living in some alternate dimension then. It's personal experience and i have at least did 40,000 km (changed to the same tires after the old one used in two years) with that powerblizt, it gave me confidence to go as fast as 100kmh in wet provided visibility is acceptable like 50 meters. Yea i have no video or official data but with neo3 100kmh im not that confidence. Had to reduce to 90kmh max. It could probably be another factor like SC pomen said my front stabilizer has worn off and suspension already clock more than two years and the car now has been driven for more than 205,000 km already so it might contribute to instability regardless of what tires used. I used powerblizt during the first and second change so it felt good probably because the car was still new. There you go

QUOTE(Jasonlee1603 @ May 22 2015, 11:04 PM) As for me I really don't favor Silverstone tyres at all due to bad experience. So far the best tyre I've used is Michelin XM2. Really long lasting and quiet for the first few K's of km. However as the tyre hits the 35k KM mark, the tyre starts performing badly. The side tread starts to peel and it gets so much more noisier, to the extent that I'm willing to trade in those for the J5 although it still has about 50% tread left. 35k is good for i think because most of the tires i used dont last more than 25k. The worst was goodyear nct5. I wonder how this J5 will perform. The price is really attractive and hopefully it can withstand a few abuse.
