Anyone drive around daily with semi slick tires? How was it?
Example potenze re003
Hankook v720
Accelera 651 sport.

Today boring boring go hunt for tires. Ingat want to change to potenza re003. Mana tahu my tire size dont have pulak..195/50/16.

I cant go up to 205 because it will rub my fenders (now already roll fender, so now cun cun only).
I cant go down to size 15 where there are a lot more tire sizes because my brake caliper too big..minimum need 16 inch rims with positive offset..

Only tires ngam my car is the accelera 651 sport. But this brand macam not so famous.

Dilemma betul aiii...

Add on another tire which suits me. Sumaxx max drifting Z1. Threadwear 180, copypaste AD08R design.

So long d haven't choose buy my tires. But tomorrow i will be going out to buy a set.
Showdown between accelera 651, sumaxx Z1 and toyo tr1.

Sumaxx max drifting Z1.

I was following a S14 drift car with 17" wheels on LDP few years ago. It definitely had some semi slick. And it was raining quite heavy. He was on lane one and the car was floating left and right at 60km/h. To be fair the car is RWD had all the interior removed and no idea how much tread is left or the brand of tires it was on. It was aqua planning at that speed. Still i would not bank on driving fast with semi slicks no m atter how sticky they are in the dry.
brapa?

I wouldnt sacrifice safety just for a bit more dry-grip due to our weather. If I was so unlucky that I need to change my tires (Eagle F1 RFT) soon, I will not for anything less than PS4 or PS4s. I understand that this tires are not available on smaller rim sizes.

Why do you need too much dry grip anyway, do you spirit drive all the time? If it is for century... no one cares too much lah

Rm210 at setia alam, can find the shop on mudah listing

Dry grip ok but quite noisy. Never tried previous t1r so not sure, heard they were shit. But ps3 should be still better la too bad ps3/ps4 dont have this size

Long time ago when i was hanging out with toyota ppl in ZTH, the SEG guys was raving about Advan AD05. Even then they were saying wet is not really its strongest suit.

When I was using SEG with 6 speed blacktop, the michelin ps3 was bestest for me already. Too bad it was discontinued..
Guess best next choice without sacrificing wet grip is the new toyo tr1
