cornering type tyre for daily drive

[popkorn_63]

Helo guys, currently my car wear 155/55/15" Bridgestone and few types before. My daily road is Kuala Kelawang, Genting Press, hulu Langat, Ampang to KL and also return home. I have tried many type of tyres.
*what is the best tyre for this kind of road?:stupid:
*how to take care on 'grip side wall' of tyre? ...bcoz, 3 month brand new sure the side wall 'clear'...but the center still look goods..the bad things is....'bad-drift' will happens on wet and slippery corner..huh..
*speed - drive 80 -120kmj...total 7Xkmj...1H30minute +/-...
*I am using front wheel type car ( really need ae86 ..ahakss...)
*is't good enough with 15" wheel or 17"....
So, fren...I need your ideas on my situation....TQ.

set more camber ? maybe around 2.0 degrees. so that your tyres wear evenly. Cant think of a Tyre at the moment. Sorry !

Typo mistake or is it really 155/55R15. Have not seen this narrow a tyre in 55 series.....

1) If you do more cornering than straight road then follow bro. red mini suggestion of setting your camber to more negative, but I don't think 2 degree, can try 1.5 first.
2) Another will be to get harder sidewall tyres.
3) Put more air pressure
4) Get directional tyres, so when the outside wears off, can flip them inside out and then swap left to right.

You went smaller from 165/60, most would have gone 175/50.
155/55R15 very little tyre choice as mention seldom come across this size.
What model of Kumho are you using? SPT KU31?

 

[dekaiser]

power sliding a FF car? wow...i think what tires you put also will shave the side easily with that kind of driving practice...maybe you need to change driving habit 1st...learn how to preserve the tires so that it can last longer...just my 2 cent... 15" tires not so that expensive to buy...but if you change to bigger size tires for example 17"...then you gonna face poket koyak syndrome if wanna change tires especially those Ultra High Performance Tires...

 

[vr2turbo]

17" depends on what size. Common size like 215/45R17 also have cheap tyres.....:rolleyes:

 

[dekaiser]

with his kinda of traveling route...won't suggest those cheap tires...hehehehe...

Many are using them even on track, but dry lah, not wet.....hahahahaha

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

first...

use 195/50-15 tyre.....any brands thats suits your budget..


second....

go to alignment shop and do -2.0 degree front chamber with -1degree for rear chamber....

guarranteed the tyre will wear evenly on that route

 

[alwhitesat]

any tyre also can lah....for a skillful driver

one tip for you: u need a good road contact tyre, so i suggest u get a tyre which has less groove and bigger pitch, and to reduce any wobbling effect, get a harder sidewall, and put air pressure 34-37psi at cold temp

He using 155/55R15 only, how to fit 195/50R15?....:hmmmm:

 

[^pomen_GTR^]

well.. i didn't know if there any 155/55-15 tyre...the smallest i know is 165 width....

and even if he really using 155/55-15 tyre..it must be a small car (K car category) which no way it could fit 17inch rim as he says his option in first post.....



where is the thread starter ah??? :hmmmm:

 

[vr2turbo]

That is why I ask again whether he typo mistake but he mentioned again currently using 155/55R15 from 165/60R15 so must be K car size.
TS went missing....

 

[popkorn_63]

halamak...bros...just check my tyre..its "195/55/15"...........hahaha..bro GTR..i'll do as you propose...i think i got what you mean bro...technically its correct adjustment...i need to practice Power Slide to reach office before 8.30AM...if i am driving like a 'crab'...static...sure be offce at 9.30am..or i need to drive early as 6 am...wallawey..can't lor...now i am practice with VIVA(wive's car), what i found out, the smaller tyre you goes, there will be closed degree at corner..but too lite to do 'PS'...2 times 'donnut'...So, guys..what is best tyre?...soft,small,hard or typical tyre?...or you guys have a good technic to share as you guys race on 'grassracing'...

 

[vr2turbo]
