Not sure if this is a normal, but i noticed that the front tire as compared to the back tire pic below it, the 3rd thread blocks onwards there is substantial reduction in groove depth, even coming to a point where its almost leveled off to become a solid ribbon block. Wouldnt that affect performance severely as the water are now unable to be channeled sideways?


Asymmetric should be able to last you at least 35-45k km depending on the vehicle fitted. Please have your alignment check. TQ

The picture I quoted was posted by vr2turbo. It seems that the alignment is fine, im just interested in the amount of wear after 10k, where u can see that the most of the groove have worn out leaving only the 4 main 'longkang' to displace water off the centre.

Is Asy2 harder than other UHP tyres, my sport maxx GT is due replacement soon? I met an e60 owner, he complained that it's hard and he felt uncomfortable with asy2. Btw he is an ah pek lol.

That is because I did not rotate the tyres. The tyres have been up front on my heavy VR which is turbo charged, and driven at high revs most of the time..... smile_wink.gif

Depends on what series he is using. Mine on 45 series have pretty good ride, but now on adjustable suspension the ride slightly bumpy loh.... smile_tongue.gif

Time for my NA Sonata III to have new shoes, so what better way to transfer my existing GY Asy2 over, so that I can proceed to test another set of tyres.

Front tyres - 50% balance


Rear Tyres - 80 plus % balance


Mileage done slightly more then 11k km with no rotation. Total mileage with rotation, I guess should be around 30k km on my turbo VR4.

This GY Asy 2 is one of the best wet and dry tyres, I would say wet handling is really good. Really enjoyed driving on these tyres. Even with D2 adjustable suspension fitted, and using 34/33psi front/rear air pressure they still have acceptable comfort.
Grip wise is superb.
However the front with 50% thread wear balance starts to aquaplane a bit in heavy rain. Well, what to expect with half the grooves gone.... smile_wink.gif
But handling in wet and dry still very good...... smile_thumbup.gif
