did anyone know SONAR tyre?

i dont know about the M3 is stock tyre for BLM. im driving Suzuki Liana, blue colour. use this tyre already 2 years, reallx roxx. sry if my statement make u laugh but i dont have any problem that u mentioned as above. i always drive more than 120kmph (not to brag here) and this tyre really make me smile. recommend also to other ppl, seems they also agree with me. furthermore, the price of piece m3 is about RM140. correct me if im wrong here, but im not driving the BLM with stock tyre.

Suzuki Liana? Blue? wow, that car alot of celebrities drove in Top Gear before...

Bro i drive my BLM with this suck tyre with 180km/h once a while also, so what for 120km/h?

The main problem is grip on wet, on dry and straight road of course no problem la.

Last week i out from cornering at wet road @ 3rd gear @ 30km/h, then before out of junction i adi heard the tyre skidding sound with slightly press of brake, that one is on cement road somemore.

Maybe different car also different case la, i dun know, but i definitely won't go to Silverstone anymore.

But advise you becareful with this tyre on wet, my opinion is the tyre suck itself, even on Ferrari also useless.

really, lol but i ain't celebrities, so dont chase me ya

always drive about 160~180 when travel from KL to Melaka, no issue at all. with wet road i can speed about 150 without worry my car will sleep. i love to take cornet at jalan duta (after tol duta got 1 big corner to KL) more than 120kpmh, still no issue. maybe my car is not like proton car, the absorber and aerodynamic body etc etc. thats also need to count.

but try with Waja M5 really tip top. no offense.

edit : not sleep, slip. edit there.

Just wondering if you do hard cornering?
The price of M3 is definitely good, no doubt about it. Sometimes I drive my gf's car BLM with (I was made to understand) M3 tyres, I do above 120km/h on a highway. I doubt I will want to do that kind of speed anywhere else.
You did >120km/h on a highway or mountain runs where you do constant hard braking and cornering? That is a good place to test the grip of M3. If it can tame those roads (borrow from Hankook S1Evo), then in my humble opinion, the grip is impressive. I'm not sure if it is my driving skill because M3 started screeching at 40km/h on a very tight turn and I practically struggled with the tyre.

If highway, no point. even stock standard CC5 can take >180km/h. Even that, the grip level is unacceptable to me especially hard cornering, I ditched it after 6 months of constant nightmare struggling at a dirt cheap price aka Alex Ferguson style.

Again, in my most humble opinion, I think it is far from right to say M3's grip is impressive just because it can take you to >120 km/h.

Added on March 30, 2011, 12:04 amBased on my very limited knowledge on tyres, I have used the Continental Contact Comfort CC5.
To me, the tyre is a good comfort tyre which is silent and grip is although unacceptable to my style of driving, I believe performs satisfactorily on normal point A-B daily driving.

Silverstone M3 is fine if you're just doing normal point A-B daily driving. I'm not sure if it is silent enough for you though.

i dont quite understand with bolded sentence above. i did >120km/h when cornering but no braking. its not suit my style do braking a lot especially when take corner. i just release the fuel pedal then after front tyre successfully enter the corner (need perfect timing though) then i accelerate like usual.

Sorry for the confusion.

You do 120km/h on highway or mountain road?

Anyway, maybe one day we can go to track, you with your Silverstone M3 then we'll test Silverstone M3's grip together
Or we can go for mountain drive. Please don't get me wrong, it's not a challenge. I am curious to see whether that tyre of yours is as good as you claimed or if whether I just suck at driving or maybe there is something here that I don't know and Mr. Michael can explain

150 on wet highway no problem bro, no need to worry.

You just need to worry is 150km/h on wet highway and suddenly come to a puddle of water or sudden twist of steering, or suddenly brake. I can ensure you can say bye bye early, no matter ur is Suzuki or Proton.

What i want to stress about this tyre grip is brake while cornering, brake on wet road.

Well, maybe that tyre really suit ur car, but again, dun tailgate my little BLM with ur M3 equipped Liana either dry or wet.

Added on March 30, 2011, 1:57 pmJust compare my stock M3 to my friends stock GoodYear Ducaro, both also BLM, found that GoodYear is silent than M3...M3 noise is unbearable, honestly.

Although both tyres mentioned above equally suck on wet.

Well, I remain impressed that someone can actually say that a certain tyre's grip is impressive just because it can travel at 150 km/h on wet roads or 180 km/h on dry condition. If that is the case, I wouldn't have ditched my stock CC5 already.

If Silverstone Synergy M3 is impressive, then I don't have to keep drooling over the Potenzas / S1evo. If it is that impressive, my taiko would have recommended the Synergy M3.

Anyway, I am just wondering, if M3 is impressive in wet, then Michelin PS3 is what?

planning to change my iswara 1.3M aeroback tyres soon...
any brand can suggest me? for highway use and town use....

Before this, I use Yokohama ADrive R1, and I felt the grip/traction is very good. Now after changing to PS3, I know what 'real' grip/traction felt like.

i see... so PS3 is better one right? how much it cost?

RM360/pc for 205/50/16.

wa... expensive... is 4 tyres around 1.5k ady... ><

Maybe you want to try Silverstone SYnergy M3, some user here say its grip is impressive but I finds it terribly lacking. You go use that then englighten us la because that tyre is cheap

Guys for 205/50/16 wats the best tyre around? around 200-250 can get anything decent?

wudnt mind if any michelin around 350-40 because i have discount voucher

Yokohama Adrive R1.

silverstone synergy M5 perhaps?

Guys any good tire shop to recommend around Salak Selatan/ Sri Petaling area? Thanks a lot!

just to add my opinion here. Ive been using silverstone M5 on myvi for almost a year now. Good overall performance in dry road but not on wet road, even 90km/h will skid your tyre, so need to avoid water loop during rainy days.
I think my ford tekstar with Falken Ziex disperse water better than this M5
