Anyone drive around daily with semi slick tires? How was it?

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.

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

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
*
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.

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

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

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.

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

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..
