Re: PS2 vs Dunlop Sports Maxx

I must say that these past few weeks of heavy rain and wet roads, I have come to thrust the SportMaxx even at higher speeds, through large puddles etc. Did not feel any aquaplaning at all. Anyway, those on my car are made in Germany. Cheers!

I'm using GR80 on my other car, but wet rain grip not very good, that's for me lah. Was also considering ps2 and was offer conti tyre, any good ?

Re: PS2 vs Dunlop Sports Maxx

I used to drive a Camry with the GR80, very quiet and comfortable but these things floats on water at 70 km/h. Change the ride to the E90 320i in 2005 and replaced the runflats with 17'' GY F1 last year. After 20,000 km, the noise level went up significantly despite regular retations. While the 'performance' is better the GR80, the E90 still floats on water during the wet season at highway speed.

I guess if you want quiet and comfort, GR80, Preceda are your type of tyres but expect too much on Performance. But on the other hand, if you are on Ultra High Performance tyres like PS2, SP and F1, do remember that its still a tyre and not glue. Go easy on the padel in wet weather or you might just float like me.

Do you really consider the F1 to be in the same leaque as the PS2?
Tot that CSC3, P-zeros would be a fairer compare.

of course, agree that due care to be taken when driving in the wet regardless on how good your tyres is coz someone else's might not be

Re: PS2 vs Dunlop Sports Maxx

I was one of many who were influence by the Car and Driver review of Ultra High Performance tires. In that review, RE050, PS2, Sportmaxx and F1 were included. Becos of thie review, I bought the F1. Its good performance and great value, but noise level up significantly after 20,000 km. If you miss the review, see below:

I too was 'con'-vinced by that review and got myself the F1.
Crapest 'performance' tyres ever. Changed it after 5k.Sian!

Not that I'm avocating anything but the PS2 seems to wear out well (40-50k) (if no tracking) compared to F1 (20k) buah tahan liao!
If you factor in the lifespan of the tyre, the PS2 is actual cheaper over the period of use.

However, that's just me.

Re: PS2 vs Dunlop Sports Maxx

Ben1,

Thanks. A bit sian with the F1 now but heartache to replace after 20K. Maybe another 10k then change out and PS2 is one on my target list. Cheers.

Re: PS2 vs Dunlop Sports Maxx

my personal opinion and experience...... forget about Aspect DB mentioned, junk tyres with ultra long braking distant..... GOODYEAR REVSPEC from Japan is a good balance in term of comfort and performance but not many shops are carrying them.

Yes, I agree. I am on these tyres too. Goodyear Revspec's price is also between the performance and comfort tyres. So far, so good.
