About the tire:
Threadwear 300, tire thread pattern like yokohama ad08r, stiff sidewall, no humming sound like semi slick tires.

Weird, is that treadwear on the sidewall or website?
on my sidewall "treadwear" 180 hmm.gif

for me, so far this tire, compared to my previous evo2v12.
is just a tad better i guess in lateral grip.

Of all things in the car. I will not skim on 3 things

Tyres
Brake pads
Lubricants
Buy tyres also want to save money.

Recently i tested this Sumaxx max drifting tires for 1.5 weeks.

About the tire:
Threadwear 300, tire thread pattern like yokohama ad08r, stiff sidewall, no humming sound like semi slick tires.
Bought rm200 per piece for 195/50/16 inch.

Very grippy in dry. Road feedback very good, handling corner tight tight. Grip i would say its definitely better than michelin ps3. Wet grip at 110km/h still confident to change lane.

Dry grip much much better than my previous tire. Using rovelo sport A1, 160km/h i already have the uncomfortable pit in my stomach and i will drive very far away from the front car. With this sumaxx tires, drive till 220km/h also still confident. 240km/h then only bola hilang.

Conclusion:
Cheap and cheerful tire for car enthusiast. Very much recommended for spirited driver. But need to be more careful in wet road since the tire pattern is quite aggresive.
Ps: drive fast but carefully ya.

Designed for drifting only rather than grip?

I see the availability of size is pretty limited from their site.
Only 1 model for 18 inch rim.

Question, if PS3 is good enough for dry but much better than this on wet, is this really worth it?

well, judging from the spec, should be nice budget tyre for dry grip.
looks like no silica compund and AD08R type of thread makes it less wet grip which translate to layman term not suitable for family car.
anyway good sharing ts. bookmarked and will recommend for others.
