I did wheel spin by accident too. Haha. But i blame shitty footwork and silverstone tires. At slope, scared roll down, so i fed too much gas and caused slight wheelspin. So far no more such encounter. Hehe

Well, the car is connected to the ground through 4 tires. If the tires not gripping the ground, all sorts of active safety not going to help you. when things go wrong, you can only trust airbag and hpf. The repair cost could easily be even more expensive.

I dun mind spending more on tires regardless they wear out fast or not because i don't throw corners and i don't drive a lot. All my tires except goodyear duraplus is changed because reach 4 yrs lifespan before i ran out of threadmarks (including michelin xm2).

During my days with silverstone, my car skidded on plenty occasion. When driving under rain, when braking and etc. Doesn't even have to be heavy rain, as long as the floor is wet, and you are not braking gradually, the tires will lockup.

Had enough of these and i told myself, highest priority investment in car, will always be a good set of tires. Other things, i can live with. Malaysia is constantly raining so wet grip in tires is important, something that silverstone is severely lacking in. It's not the high speed corner performance that i seek, but ability to brake in any condition (dry or wet) in case of emergencies.

Is yours premium variant? I think premium is goodyear. Others still silverstone

wow.. that's great for you.. i got my car last month and it was still silverstone..

at least now proton no longer give silverstone to their customer and that's a good thing.

Myvi is using this tire as stock as well

With great power comes great responsibility. Haha.
Are you up for it?
