Agree bro, Silverstone M3 on BLM is just suck.

No grip at all, car like BLM with poor brake can lock this tyre easily on wet even with slightly press brake at low speed (40km/h), screaming at corner and damn noisier tyre, unbearable noisy.

The problem is no matter how i torture and cornering like mad, the thread isn't gone faster, suck tyre...

My tyres still new and I'm still enjoying the improvement. This tyre will allow me to learn and feel my car's true potential.
Why not I let you know when my thread reaches 50% or less

So funny la. I saw your reply with a quoted statement from another user saying silverstone M3's (if this is the one which comes with BLM) grip is impressive
I think you misunderstood his statement, he meant impressively challenging?

If M3 is the standard issue among BLM, I can safely say that this tyre is for my gf type of driving (even that may not be very safe) and/or uncle-aunty driving. If one were to drive fast, I also can safely say that the grip level is abysmal and if in wet, grip is almost close to a coffin-booking extravaganza.

Anyway, I agree with you, to any drivers on M3, don't tailgate me also. Flash at me and yell that you're on M3 tyres and then I'll lay red carpet and let you move. I'll even pray that you'll live 100 years old for saving my life by not tailgating me.

But if a car driven by ala Takumi style then different story already. I'll be amazed if you can corner faster / outbrake me 

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.

Bro, i adi mentioned my priority is 'SILENT and COMFORT', performance i dun think will worst than Silverstone M3 lo...

Even my M3 can ride at 180km/h if u wish...

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.

Based 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.

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
