You can increase 1 or 2 more psi to give it a try, but v12evo2 inherently has soft side walls, no additional sidewall reinforcement. Maybe that's why price so damn good.

Go for falken fk510 on your next change which is a very slight premium (for now) japan made tyres against the v12evo2 but with reinforced sidewalls.

always start with the baseline set by manufacturer recommendation, after all, they spent many millions on every aspect of the car engineering, so assume they know best when coming out with this set of tyre pressure numbers.

After that you try +/- the pressure to your taste. Personally, i pump close to the maximum recommended pressure range (full load). Got a very little bit of extra fuel economy on higher pressures.

Usually when upsize, the recommended air pressure drops abit, but again, the car owner/driver needs to eperiment.

Just my preference for that, but i'm clear that once past the maximum recommended pressure, the car is really thrashy. When go to the lower end of the recommended range, my wife says the car a bit "loose". She lagi hebat....

No indicator, either ;
1) ask around tyre forums, some sifus will tell you whether reinforced or not.
2) totally unscietific, but go tekan the tyre

odd, had better refinement on my car with v12evo2 than the factory fitted toyo t1. I initially don't expect any refinement improvement because it is symmetrical pattern, but it performed better refinement wise compared to the asymmetrical patterned toyo t1.

left half and right half pattern mirror image, this one called directional pattern? I thought this called symmetrical thread pattern?

who told you that?

Mine not exactly chipping, but can see added wear on the points you circled. Maybe because you corner very kuat Or maybe because your area road surface not fantastic?

From your pictures, my gut feeling is about right that this tyres max life is about 50000km. Seems like you're going for tyre shopping around chinese new year next year

now you tell me about their extreme contact series?

continental too invested in marketing/branding one up manship that it is starting to get confusing....
