Wreckwrx 1st Gear November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 (edited) I'm currently PS3.... 225/40/R18........ I have to admit it's the first time that I'm using 18" rims and first time on such low profile...... previously I was switching between 215/45/R17 and 225/45/17 but never on 40 before..... Noise level is significantly higher than the Bridgestones that I was using..... but I find the grip better than my old RE050 when in the wet...... As for dry grip, I somewhat felt that the RE050 is better in the dry...... however given the wet season right now, I'm very glad to be on the PS3....

Kenmical Clutched November 23, 2011 Share November 23, 2011 It's an average performer (performance tyre) in dry and wet. Not the UHP AD08 nor RE11 of the world. Noise level is acceptable and generally softer. More conti feel overall. Have been on AD07 and subsequently on AD08 previously. Decided to take it easy and opt for this because I tried the PS2 previously on my last ride. Found it acceptable although dry handling is nowhere near the both ADs.

I was using AD07 previously but I had issues with the wet grip...... however I must say it's probably the best dry grip of all the tyres I have tried...... How's the AD08? Have they improve in the wet? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's the AD08? Have they improve in the wet? AD08 wet is almost similar to AD07. Just a tad better if you dare. It is better not becos of its ability to disperse water but rather due to a much stiffer side wall. However the dry grip is insane if you dare to breach your mental limit. Did many high speed cornering at 140 - 160kmh without the sudden thought that I am dying. However the tyres only lasted 13month before it became slicks. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help1 1st Gear December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 hahaha...very puzzle....how can a performance tyre be not noisy? It has to be noisy due to the design of the threads and the characteristics of a performance tyres Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torquemeister 1st Gear December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 hahaha...very puzzle....how can a performance tyre be not noisy? It has to be noisy due to the design of the threads and the characteristics of a performance tyres to a point but my reference is Pirelli P Zeros which were much quieter - also high performance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beregond Supersonic December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 hahaha...very puzzle....how can a performance tyre be not noisy? It has to be noisy due to the design of the threads and the characteristics of a performance tyres there are performance tyres that are not so noisy as in compare to other model of performance tyres. like u take a goodyear aysm 2, u compare to say yokohama sdrive ? the different is noise level is very big. but if u compare it to a high end comfort tyres, like GR90 of course the gr90 gonna be even more quiet. and pls dun assume all brand comfort tyres is quiet. there are cheap brand comfort tyres, with those fine thread design which u assume it should be low noise. but due to poor quality of rubber and design , will make the tyres have uneven wear after useage, which will produce VERY HIGH NOISE.

SimplyTWL 1st Gear December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 UHP tyres are tends to be very noisy but because the contact area of the tyre and the road surface is larger hence providing more grip resulting in better performance.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help1 1st Gear December 2, 2011 Share December 2, 2011 well be it comfort or performance tyre, there is bound to have some noise regardless of quality and design, is only at what mileage it will get very noisy otherwise new tyre also have some noise but it just not that obvious to passenger/driver Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
