Yeah i know Bro fabianyee. But what i am asking is this is Ori tyre. So its still new on my wheels. Is it a good tyre or just a OK ?

oic.... but since it's on ur car, u shud be able to tell how it's like... like the braking limit, dry traction and wet braking traction... if it's easy to 'invoke' the ABS or DSC, then it means it can't handle ur driving style.....

Will let you know Sir. So far been Friendly to me..

Has anyone heard off / tried the Yoko AVS DB ... from the AVS family but the tire shop guy in SIN was saying that they are comfort oriented performance tires .... My ES100s are due to go soon and I am looking at a few alternatives. The Dragons are on the shopping list too ...

Cheers,

Great Tyres for conering but you got to bear with the noise.

Pirelli Dragons... not bad for its price range...

Mine can withstand 25 laps at the Sepang track without any serious loss of grip....

Here's what it looked like after 25 laps...

I had a close look at Lee's tyres after my Dragons also showed excessive scrubbing compared to the Bridgestones and Michelins I saw. I think the Dragon's wear rate could be high but after 12 laps on track, the tyres continued to perform OK in usual road conditions. On track, it was very good...

Last time I checked, BF Goodrich G-Force is not available in 235/45/17 in Malaysia, but you can ask any Michelin dealers to check for you. I think biggest is 225/45/17.

But nothing beat slicks on track man - Marco, when you go into karting you will know! Bad tyres = upto 2 sec per lap (bad driving another 2 sec!)

Before increasing the pressure, check on the sidewall what;s the max pressure recommended. Some tyres say 40psi, some say 50psi. Better don't exceed otherwise.............
