If the hpy is on par with other offering then it is giving top brand a run for their money.
Its really cheap for a 17 inchers.
Nope, the BAX2 are rated as HP tyres only.
Model HPX and HPY are rated UHP.
HPX is directional and W speed rated, while the HPY is Asymmetric and Y rated.

Have a friend running the HPY also in a PUG 308T and he loves them. To him performance is equal to his previous Conti CSC3.
He changed because 3 of the CSC3 have bulging problem....

Changed from a set of Bridgestone Potenza 001.
The price is reasonable and i am happy wit hthe performance.
Dry grip:
Good overall. Not as grippy as the Potenzas, but the potenzas were really hard. So this is a good balance of grip and comfort. Feels like an honest tyre, and not some tyre you know you paid extra for the brand.
Comfort:
Outstanding! This is one of the most comfortable UHP Y rated tyre out there. VERY quiet too. I think it will fit premium luxury cars in search of UHP Y rated tyres very well.
Handling:
Slightly less steering feel than the Potenzas, and i feel it takes a longer time to warm up before giving its best. It feels a little soft when cold, but once its warmed up, the feel and grip is good. But overall I feel this is more of a touring tyre than an outright performance tyre. So if you are going for extreme handling, forget this tyre.
Wet performance:
Its been good so far. Grooves are deep and wide. But need more testing. The coming rainy season would be a good time. With safety in mind ofcourse.
Overall i think this is an honest tyre. It doesnt pretend to be anything other than what it is - a budget Y rated tyre that gives more and performs better than what you paid for. Still, if you can afford, go for the Michellin PS3. If you cant, these these HPYs are perfectly acceptable and give pretty good bang for buck.

Unmounted, I tested by hand pressing the sidewall of the GY Asy2, Nexen N8000 and GT Radial HPY.
The sidewall of the Asy2 was soft, real soft for a max performance tyre.
The Nexen N8000 sidewall was somewhere in between, sort of medium feel, can still press but can feel the that it is stiff.
The GT Radial HPY sidewall is real stiff. Can hardly press into them. So, is this a real UHP tyre....
Have 3 large and 1 smaller straight line grooves. Asymmetric in pattern as in most UHP nowadays. Well made and easy to balance.
Fitted last Friday, and only done about 100 plus km on them, and my reference will of course be against my previous GY Asy 2, which seems to be unfair as those are top rated Premium Max performance tyres against a sort of money for value tyres.
The air pressure used was 33/32psi front/rear. The ride was however pretty stiff, even compared to the Asy2 with 34/33psi air pressure. Ran on it for 2 days, then this morning reduce it to 30/29psi. The ride seems pretty good now.
As for it's performance, only manage 2 to 3 hard corners so far, and they seems to handle pretty well. No screeching or any lost traction....No wet test yet, as not raining at my area....
Testing continues......
finally u use indonesia tyre.......
