give us feedback when u install it... heard that it should be a lil more quiet than T1R but the grip is not as good as T1R...
i thought of this and also T1R as i wanna try Toyo 1st time but i give this a skip as wanna try out new PS3


Tireshop said the DRB dry grip is better than T1R, but for the wet T1R is much better....

Anyway, for a UHP, T1R wet or dry grip was never enough to start with.

Not sure whether it is enough for the NA cars, but for my turbo, I can't agree more with bro. azbro comment..... smile_wink.gif

215/40/17. the owner want to change the rim size. i don't know to check how much thread left but could you imagine he used the tire for just 2 months.

usually, when i see someone drive slow (like bitch) at right lane, i will come in high speed and make emergency brake until the scratch sound come out. the purpose is to make the bitch cuak. but with toyo drb, i cannot do that anymore because the grip is too good. previously i used bridgestone MY-01.

2 months is still new unless the owner is a very aggressive driver.

BS MY-01 are entry level tyres. Even though is Directional design, not made with soft compound and no BS AQ Donut certification.
Jumping from MY-01 to Toyo DRB is like 2 steps up in performance...... smile_thumbup.gif

yea bro VR is right MY-01 is useless tire la... jump to DRB is a huge jump, and DRB grip is not that really good also...
DRB performance is lower than T1R also and T1R is lower than Hankook V12 and Michelin PP2 also... at the end i skip this because of this... try V12 it is better Value than DRB also... 17" should be around RM300++ only good UHP tire to drive around

Opel Corsa test shown is like that lo smile.gif V12 is just behind GY F1 Asy, but there is no BS RE050 or Mich PS3 and others... they testing base on value of the tire if not mistaken about EU150 max or something like that
