Received a good deal for the Sport Maxx 050+ at $110/- each, only for 245/45/17 profile though. For F1A5 with this same profile, it will cost around 160? Basically my requirements - wet grip, noise and comfort. Appreciate any feedback. I was on Dunlop Sport Maxx, replaced with GY Efficientgrip Performance 2. Meets your 3 requirements perfectly (like mine). Wet grip is very good. See my review on the other Efficientgrip thread. Was 140 per piece for R17/225. Not sure if they have R17 245. And I think the Dunlop wears faster compared to GY AS3 in my experience. Edited June 30, 2020 by Volvobrick ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never tried Sport Maxx 050+ before, but here are some of my thoughts. - Using Asymmetric design to give a better performance in griping and water drainage. - Very sporty thread pattern - Made in Japan. (I think this is a very good selling point) *for me at least. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lately prices from Hankook and New branded tires makes it more reasonable to buy those Korean ones than jap 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 050+s seem better in the dry also. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micb 5th Gear July 8, 2020 Share July 8, 2020 Thanks all for the replies ! I have since fitted the sport maxx 050+ given the low price, but stock is not so new. This is the clearance price according to the tyre shop. As this is the GY F1 thread, I shall not mention too much. Having used the F1A3 and P7, I must say this is not too bad, from price to performance ratio. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashbang Turbocharged July 11, 2020 Share July 11, 2020 Non performance cars may end up with "lousy" tyres. BMW 7 series although expensive is not a performance car. It's more likely you get a performance tyre if you bought a performance car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is not fast, what is fast. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
