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.

Maciam. Easy skip je when rain

195/50/16 me using toyo tr1 potong air damn hnghh

Oh interesting..price?
dry grip gooding?
Lets compare to michelin ps3 or previous toyo t1r.

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.

Re003 syok oo
At ampang lookout
Cornering with confidence
Car with sway bar had to gip way to me

Yeah people are saying semi slick tires are terrible at wet, but superb at dry.
How terrible is teribble i wonder...wanna try semi slick tires. I need more grip for my tires

fucking dangerous, don't do it

i changed from p zero rosso to "normal" is this. got la other reasons, but really not suitable for our weather

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

Hahaha pretty sure the rear bumper of the S15 is removed right?

It's dark grey colour is I'm not mistaken.

I memang aggresive driving a bit one my pattern haha. No la century not main reason. Now when high speed i dont feel confident at all. In short, i need more grip to fully enjoy my ride.

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

The one i saw was blue with the bumpers still intact. I am sure it was S14 and not S15. From puchong heading to sunway.

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.

ok nice tyre, buy this must upgrade life insurance as well.

do you own honda accord last time?

It was just a family car that I drove at times. Why?

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

I think i overbought my life insurance already...but whatever la. Since im working and also running a business, its ok i guess

Eh, re003 semi slick ke? Ok saja dalam hujan.

Cari saiz 205/45/16 ok kot tak kena fender.

205 the guy said will kena my rear fender after he see my car.

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

Wet grip how? 30k ok la. Can last 2 years d for me

re004 now lo…still pakai old stock 003 meh

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

last time i use NS2R semi slick, no problem in rain and excel in dry
but too noisy liao

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.

1) not semi slick
2) not semi slick
3) only TW 100 is semi slick, tread wear 200 isn't semi slick.

the noise boleh tahan bro

Its wither 15 or 17.


16 susah dpt size sket. Lesson learnt from my own experience. 🤣🤣

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

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.

Shop say its semi slick one. Me noob in tires

Linglong got 195/50/R16

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4905165

Jangan nyampok otai otai sembang with your noob post laa.. You read and learn...

I using falken azenis. Good.

klu nak guna tayar tu make sure letak tin bir kosong dlm kereta.
that way klu eksiden pipul wont blame the tire.

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.

Kuatkan radio

Ok boss. I only know how to make money, not spend them

You go at it while you can before most of the job you do will be replace by AI and available online soon.

You two get a room. My treat.

Make love not war hehehe

TR1 is quite crappy IMO.

daily guna EP150 sudah

Feels grippier than my last advan fleva both wet n dry

TR1 compared to the oem Goodyear Excellence, stiffer sidewall (better steering precision) higher rolling resistance (lower fuel economy), tyre drone (noisier than oem).
Only done 10k, so we will wait and see about treadwear.

Good luck to you.

For a daily car, not recommended to get semi slick due to our erratic weather as well as lousy drainage on most of our roads.

Just get UHP tires such as PS4, RE003, F1Asym is quite sufficient.

Using semi slick comes with many drawbacks such as noise, lousy FC, bumpy/harsh rides and the need to drive slow as heck during heavy rainfall.

I use tr1 don't u cibai. Better than mc5. Langgar lubang xda hal. Mc5 langgar skit dah kena tkar satu baru.

PS3 is not direct descendent for PS2.
Probably from Preceda 2

PS2 worthy successor is PSS during the PS3 era.
PS2 also got 2 type, difference is inside the tire.
But that needs another history lesson.

Problem with the PS2 was it don't last long.
The threads are thinner to offer best grip but in a short life.
Probably Michelin thinks for performance tires like it, once no grip, no point dragging its life.

Friend's Nissan skyline had semi slicks on. One damp road with several patches of water = 6 months recovery time in hospital.

Is the accelera 651 sport (pic in my 1st post) a uhp or semi slick tire?

Quoted from the official website;-

The Race Tire

The 651 Sport is Accelera’s street legal race compound tire with a semi-slick tread. With two main ribs, a water film breaker, and three directional grooves, the 651 Sport is engineered for precise handling and quick steering response, both on and off the track. The 651 Sport comes in both 100 treadwear and 200 treadwear, making it perfect for drift and track applications. It’s versatility also makes the 651 Sport a good choice for limited daily driving needs.


Somewhat same as using AD08 as daily use, dry condition very syok. You cannot expect much from these tires in wet condition. My suggestion if u really wanna try semi-slick out is JUST DO IT... Heck, i used AD07 and AD08 on my daily ride before but just go REAL SLOW on wet or raining days... really slow <50km/h on straight and even slower on corners when wet.

Furthermore the thread wear on semi-slick is around 180-200, so it'll finish fast and change back to all season UHP tires then. As long as you know the limitations and disciplined with your right foot.

Very good. Hujan pakai grab.

Since when is RE003 semi slick? It’s not even performance tyre. Normal je grip not bad

I’m running RE003 and no complaints. Try going for 205/45/16

ya is very true for ps2.

after hydroplane on highway, I will never change cheapo Tyre anymore. Safety first.

Ts still got money to spend.
Laundry is good business.
ikankering

I doubt ikan kering is doing anythg he says. Change too much already plus he doest have any specific details or knowledge. Troll too much liao

Actually cheaper tire do not directly mean higher chance of aqua-planning.

The width and type of tire, depth of water pool, speed and others affect more on ur chances of aquaplaning.

Imo, a kancil with achilles/linglong 155 width tire can go through water much faster than cars with michelins 245 width tires. A slimmer tires cut through water, fatter tires need huge water channel to cut the tire contact into patches to cut through the water. Bigger contact patch = higher chances of aquaplaning

But that said, a reputable tire brand definitely handle better with shorter braking distance and it get to operating temperature faster than those cheap tires compound that last forever

I had tried using premium as well as cheaper brands such as rovelo, achilles, nankang... to be honest, it work well as long as u dun push it to the extreme like u would push on a re003, ps4, fleva etc etc.

Don't do it please. Even my friend's dad who uses semi slicks on his Porsche would get the driver to come pick him up wherever he is when it rains. It's really suicide to run semi slicks when the roads are wet even after it has stopped raining.

Some of the best all weather tires are GY F1 Asy2 and F1D5

baguslah contribute more aksiden

Achilles is really rubbish, used it before. Should take a look at Kumho PS31...for the price it's not too bad both in dry and rain.

when near accident u are always on the edge. That small edge is life or death.

So I rather spend more on Tyre since this is the most critical part of the car.

All the tyres mentioned are not semi-slick

16 inch? Lol. That size tyre like limited edition.

I dunno mang. The shop tire guy told me one. So these tires can use as daily?

Ya lor. But i got no choice...

semi slick bukan mcm r888r ke? below 180tw.

I didn't try 701... Next wanna try ad08r but they're not too suitable for my use (higher treadwear). Might go with 701 for a run next. I think my tyres will last me another 10k or so only.

Definitely noisier because of the thread design.

I've clocked more than 30k on them. I honestly forgot to record down the mileage properly because halfway through I swapped engines (including cluster). So I lost track of the mileage. But I'm sure more than 30k.

Engine swap: 123k miles. Now 143k miles. I have done, I believe, 2 oil change before engine swap, so that's about 14k miles.

Rotated the wheels in January. Mileage berapa that time I need to check back my log. But it was about 137k or so back then.

I also using. Don't quite like it. Went up genting, first corner after polis post terus understeer. Knn.

I say can use. Never meant it is good... haha

too noisy rite?
after 1.5 year i changed to cheaper tire coz want to sell the car, suddenly feel handling like shit, but very comfort no noise

U win some, u lose some

There are various driving behaviours, for those chill driver and never pushes to the limit. These cheaper options are good enough for them.

If u are the kind that barrel down the road at 110-120kmh regardless of the road conditions, definitely choose better tires la. Simple as that.

My friends operates tires shops and many ppl uses those cheap tires on their expensive cars. Like i said, it really depends on the person behind the wheel.

Do u believe that rovelo made better tires than silverstone or falken? Bridgestone with the batch issues where swelling happen. Michelins with the peeling issues after 1yr. Well, qc issues still happen even for the premium tires brand

I use almost 20k now. Naik genting no prob, Gua Musang no prob, Grik road no prob. During raining i didn't even notice the spedo is about 120km/h.

RE003 is not "semi slick" only the outside shoulder looks aggressive only. I m using it now, coming from PS4, I would say the dry performance of RE003 is better than PS4 and on top of that the sidewall of RE003 is harder than PS4, giving the sensation where the tyre don't flex as much as PS4 under hard cornering. But when it comes to wet, cannot compare with PS4, PS4 much much better in wet condition especially if there is water puddle. RE003 just can't give me the confidence on wet road.

RE001-003 = always is inclined towards dry road conditions

PS3/4 = more towards overall. (Comfort, grip, wet and dry)

P ZERO win all

It was quite wet also la. Right after rain...

PRICY. Last time my cooper s use pzero. One tyre is 1k lmao.

Haha...I think few years ago it was quite popular. I bought it coz many ppl were using it then realized it was really shit...almost on par with the shitty Falken zeXX can't remember the exact model already.

I'd rather use Kumho PS31 for budget range. Still using these donuts too lol.

Soo....between these two which better for me?
Toyo TR1 treadwear 280
Accelera 651 sport treadwear 200.

For me can use till 25-30k km is enough already.

I am currently using this Accelera 651 sport size 195/50/15 on my Wira. This is my second set.

I daily my wira with these tyres and I gotta tell you that this tyre is actually pretty good in the rain. The 200 treadwear version is not a semi slick, but an extreme high performance tyre. This tyre is better in the wet compared to RE003 and has very good aquaplaning resistance, of course not as good as Michelin PS4. The lifespan however is short at 6 months with aggressive driving at Genting and LDP, but would last a relaxed driver 1.2 years or more. Tyre noise is irrelevant to me as my exhaust is louder

Wow it only lasted 6 months for u?
Have you tried toyo tr1?
Reason why i might skip accelera 651 is because no shop in penang keeps any stock for this tire..

the old t1r was shit in the dry and worse in the wet.

You comparing tr1 to wat tire? So shitting ah?

compared to my currrent v12 ventus evo
