Hamburger Hypersonic January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 No. Different tyres heat up differently and may not reach their optimal temperature in the car park. I always try to get my tyres to warm up to the optimal operating range before I drive faster, whether in the dry or wet. its wet situation we talking about here. Obviously you have not driven a lousy IDN tyre in wet mscp before. It even slide at 5km/h.........so forget about driving faster on road. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jchuacl Clutched January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 I always use dry biased tyres and hence I'm always very careful in the carpark when the floor is wet. I've driven on lousy IDN tyres in Indonesia and there's literally no grip on wet cement (I was reversing up into the house) even though I've driven for more than 1 hour on the roads. But it's ok as most of the time, I can't go beyond 30 km/h in the city. its wet situation we talking about here. Obviously you have not driven a lousy IDN tyre in wet mscp before. It even slide at 5km/h.........so forget about driving faster on road. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostcode Clutched January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 Bros, try WOT and jam breaking on your tires for 5 times... then drive normally up to 70km/h and break gradually... Do this randomly for 1 week. Tire grip potential is now unleashed! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkblue 1st Gear January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 Check air pressure too... 230 KPA should be just nice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jchuacl Clutched January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 There's an easier way, ie heat cycle the tyres.

Imraneo Clutched January 26, 2012 Share January 26, 2012 Hmm.. I'm wondering if adding Nexen tyres to this discussion would be any helpful, since it falls in a similar price range..? Was quoted by Arrow Tyres for 215/45/17 N7000: $125 N9000: $145 Any comments? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luv_presea 1st Gear February 2, 2012 Author Share February 2, 2012 Ok guys. Tried a few more times on the same corner from cte towards tpe inside the tunnel. This time tried 110 and no problems at all. No screeching and feeling quite stable. Another thing I noticed is that the steering wheel after changing tyres felt a lot lighter. But now its getting heavier. Almost same as before I changed tyres. Is it safe to say tyres have completely run in already? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelpie 2nd Gear February 3, 2012 Share February 3, 2012 How about dunlop sport Maxx TT? any bro try this before any commence thought of changing to this. Was quota $225 (225-40-18R) IMHO, dunlop tyres are noiser and softer. I switched sport Maxx 18 to Goodyear F1 (5th gen) within 6 months. The mechanic told me the tyres were already bald. I used my car often on NSHW. Road holding wise, nothing to shout about. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
