kasi UP, was the treadware as bad as others saying.. 15k km 50% tread already?

it's weird that the price (cheapest 15' UHP) still consistent even though the review for this tyre is insanely good other than the wear and tear

got quote 185rm for 195/55R50, RE004 240rm while PS3 270rm for that size.

well got cheaper quote for it, 159rm.. insane.. 220 cheapest i get for re004.

Just bought it for 159rm (195/55R15) "Front 2 tyre replacement"

so far it feel Boaty/rubbery. hardly feel the road surface. (Maybe, just maybe because it's really2 new tyre).

will drive it for 1 or 2 weeks to get it up to 500km and see if it still feel the same.

no comment on wet grip however dry grip is good.

haha, i should put new 1 at rear, i know. However, my rear is currently using PS3 and the thread is around 60% left, i don't wanna use it as front tyre. Personal Preference.

the case is that my previous front tyre is PS31 which is getting bad in term of wet grip, so i'm replacing it first. Will buy better tyre ( another set of PS3 or RE004) next time for rear.

i prefer to handle Oversteer my FWD ecobox than Understeer.

My setup is like that.. huehue..


PS : my car has been modded so it got pretty good torque for my ecobox, can easily spin PS31 non-stop(ESC can't do jack sht) IF i WOT 1st gear at slippery/wet road
PSPS : if oversteer too much, i can always pump the front tyre higher and lower the rear tyre pressure
PSPSPS : if it get really bad, welpt, can just swap ps3 to the front

Vitra I Pro

oppps, reversed.. my bad, Fixed*

This tire is weird, it's like driving CC6 comfort with RE003 grip and PS3 wet grip

The grip is good after trying around +-350km.

The Downside is, you can barely feel the road ( i don't know if it's me only or everyone else feels the same).

soo weird...

installation and balancing.. for the valve, i'm using the steel thngy, so i didn't change it, no issue till now. The shop is Oscar Tyre, Kota Kemuning, Klang, Selangor.

my front tyre before this is PS31 and before that is PS3, both of this give better road feeling thn Vitra I Pro.

Welpt PS31 give better road feeling than PS3 even though it's not UHP.

IF this tyre can last 30k km, i will probably buy it again but will go for smaller profile from 55 to 50.

your tyre size?

so far i've done 500km++, do few high speed corner ( it's really good )

so far it's quiet, comfortable and grippy.. soo noice for cheap tyre, i guess what make it cheap is that it doesn't last long

barely any ads/info for any car event nowadays, most event that i saw is SIC/MIMC/Kuala Selangor and Dato Sagor.

smallest for my size since it's still big, not like those on 17' tyre and above.

as for this vitra i pro, i take 55 just wanted to test it.

for now, yes. I didn't manage to find any shop that is cheaper.

ok, already use this Tyres for more 2k km, maybe more, not sure.

Yesterday, kinda going through at least 150km B road, this Tyres is really good for the price however as usual, heat is the main issue. Once you push and push and push it, it will be giving up little by little.

it's good enough for me.

it's more like, you are getting a bit understeer, just slow down a bit and it will continue grip the road.

next tier will straight go to Semi Slick for this size.

well, i drive quite fast going down Karak after Tunnel ( after Genting Sempah ), i did few heavy braking due to, changing lane + going fast, it handle well(No issue). I continue pushing it till my 550 brake pad faded away . huehue.



This tyre is cheap mainly due to low Tread Life.

depends on your driving style, i guess.. If fully highway, drive 80~100kmh cruising, no hard acceleration, no hard braking and cornering, maybe will take longer time to run in? welpt.
I don't even know if UHP got running in period or just a myth.
