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.

Doubt no brand tyre can have better dry grip than Michelin ps3
*
I doubted it too at first.

My first try on no brand tire was the rovelo sport A1. Supposingly better than toyo T1R. Nope, its badddd.
This is my second try on no brand tire and I was really impressed with the grip for the price point.

Tires I had tried so far.

Toyota corolla AE101 with 4AGE blacktop engine, 6 speed manual 165 hp - Dunlop D05, Michelin PS3, Toyo T1R.
Nissan Sentra B13 with SR20VE 20V, 6 speed manual 225 hp - Rovelo sport A1, Sumaxx Max drifting (current).

To be fair, most probably the michelin PS3 has better wet grip than the sumaxx.

You quote pun no use la... You cant compare treadwear between brands..

Its like u ask mamak to put 2 spoon of gula.. One mamak can use sudu kecik, another will use sudu besar.. No two mamak will use the same size sudu to make comparison.

Ya I know about this. Just write down the spec je, kot kot got people want to know.

T1R and TR1 are both shit.

Almost got the TR1 hahaha.
Yeah T1R is just acceptable. Still ok la if you support it with adjustable suspension. Bunyi a lot but it won't actually buang if control properly.

+1. Tyres are the only contact between the car and the road. No point stinge on tyres, always go for the best. U will nvr know when u need ur tyre the most, so always have the best.

Rather get a low budget phone and spend the rest of the money on a better tyres if i cant afford it.
*
One of my rovelo tire got 4 lubang in my 2+ years usage. No leak whatsoever. Repair once enough. Big nail,screw all ok.
Previously my toyo T1R, kena 2 lubang, then always leaking. Haiyo no use la.
China tires also reliable la.
You living what age d? Nowadays china car so high tech also reliable already.

I tried PS3, PS4, Fleva V701, Primacy 4.

PS4 > All

All your tires are having almost same thread pattern. Nothing too aggressive with big ribs. So not surpring ps4 took the lead.

What tyre can rival PS4?  hmm.gif
(That is around the price range)
*
I think for overall performance. Meaning low noise, good wear rate, good grip dry n wet, etc best should be michelin ps4 d. Only bad is price factor, quite expensive.

If you are like me, dont care noise, dont care so much wear rate, only wan super dry grip, acceptable wet and cheap. Then can try this sumaxx. Basically all i care about is grip and price.

oh
hmm price for me is still okla, not very expensive
but my size is 215/45/17
can get 350/donut
*
In comparison, i think in dry grip my sumaxx should be same or better than your ps4. I cant be sure but im comparing with ps3, and the sumaxx feels much grippier in dry grip than ps3.

For your size, sumaxx can get for rm210. Yours rm350 per tire.

How bout rain / wet performance
*
Ok so far. Don't dare test limit because of the thread pattern. But I tested at 110km/h when raining I change lane just a tad aggressive, don't feel like will lose grip or what. Still confident.

For pickup truck I used Goodride once.
Cheap.. 235 per piece.
But economy wise it just botak too fast. Way too fast. Couple years already botak.

99% (traded in with whiskers) bridgestone HT from stock hilux rim or Yokohama AT lasted much longer. Especially AT tyre since its thicker tread than HT. It still has 70% remaining even after couple years.

China tires hit and miss la.
My rovelo sport A1 sucks too. especially in wet
