tried the re003 before, was very grippy but got 2 main disadvantages

1) fuel consumption is higher compared to other uhp tyres

2) threadwear noob, can barely last 30k km

Anyone drive around daily with semi slick tires? How was it?
Example potenze re003
Hankook v720
Accelera 651 sport.
[attachmentid=10515004]

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...

wet grip was ok oni, n i didnt drive fast during rain last time when i was using dis tyre cos i knew its wet grip not so good n i takut mati lol, so i din really test the wet grip

overall a pretty good tyre for dry grip but not really worth the price, quite exp if compare the threadwear, i would prefer ps3/ps4 over this, my old ps3 lasted almost twice longer than re003 n its slightly more exp, n for me ps3/ps4 is good enough for me ledi

if u wan the best dry grip performance then this tyre is for u

You gain some, you lose some.

On totally dry road, you can corner 50% faster than usual.

On wet road (even slightly), you will corner 50% slower than usual.

this tayar not bad in wet (can't compare to ps3 wet performance, but adequate if you're a decent driver), enough for me to use 2years for daily + weekend genting laugh.gif

Ofcourse

Good grip = soft tyre = soft rubber compound = fast wear

I use 003 before back in may 2013.. But didn't know it was consider semi slick.. I got 1 ghost town big corner on the way back to my home, always my spot to test tyre grip and this tyre really grippy when dry, but so so when wet, Quite noisy and wear out too quickly for my taste.

Then change to PS3. Using it and PS4 version ever since

You want to talk about tires?

Those models you meaning are not semi slick tires.

Car Tires are categorized into HP, UHP, Max, Extreme.
Of course got 4X4 and SUV is another story.

Slick, Semi Slicks are mostly specialised tires used for the track and unsuitable for road use. Those road legal tires that are extreme will also not market itself as Semi Slick.

If you really wanna try afforfable tires that are so call 'semi slick' Road legal tires, try Hankook RS-3 / RS-4.
What will happen is you will find out the tires stick to the road like Glue. Like using a Cloth Dust Remover Roller.
Your Fuel Consumption will be worst as the rolling resistance is high. Unless you have high power car to drive these, it will now be a burden.
Regarding wet handling, of course you need to driver slower, still can driveable in the went, but in heavy rain, probably less than 60kmh. The thing about extreme tires is the rubber compound, as it sticks like glue, so it does play apart in the rain. But if puddles, than you will out of control. If you insist to driver normally in the rain, than you will easily crash. No matter your car have all those electronics aid. I normally encounter puddles usually after rain that will catch you out.

To keep story short

You basically will sacrifice car power, comfort, fuel economy and wet grip just for some trills of cornering.

Some safer Extreme tires I can recommend that does perform average in the wets and drivable are the Advan AD08R.

But talking about cornering trill on the public road, becareful that towtruck driver also loves those places.
And your car suspension and Engine also needs some upgrading.

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

Not recommend to use semi slick for daily drive. U better go for wet Tyre in Malaysia.

have u tried Michelin pss?

Michelin ps4 is good for my car but the side wall kinda weak.

been using ps2 , ps3 and ps4, I think ps2 is more traction than the rest.
