Well, it will always be in the UHP category how you change the model, where R1-R is extreme so is totally different....For Bridgestone you may need RE-11.....

No any news that RE12 will be launch, and u wont get it legal from Japan(RE11 or RE12, or RE55S). Only parallel import, but no warranty from Bridgestone Malaysia for sure ... apa berlaku sendiri taggung.

Who said I won't corner it kawkaw?
Just not so frequent only. It's still my daily drive mahhh.

Also, didn't know that you can't get RE11 legally here. That's no fun. Means I'll have to go for other brands if I go extreme. A bit off topic here, but I believe that's the same case for Dunlop Direzza's? Never even heard of anyone using it here.

Will go touge lahhh. But not every week? Waiting for you guys only

Not sure of Dunlop representation here in Malaysia now. Since they sold to Sime Darby the plant in Selangor, name changed to DMIB Bhd., Dunlop brand can be distributed by them for a certain amount of years and at the same time, they were developing Sime and Simex tyres.
However they did not do well and later joint venture with Continental and name changed to Continental Sime Tyres.
But later they sold out to Continental and now it is fully called Continental tyres, so Dunlop brand no longer represented, so probably parallel importers bring in.

Got others like bro. KenDiriwan who touge regularly.....

Parallel importers? Dunlop seems common for such a situation then.
Will touge soon too. I think.

So how is the RE-002 feel? Much better then your Kumho's right?.....

Im actually getting scared to push it real hard because I feel the inertia when I corner
I think I can push it harder though.

Progressively push it. If u go touge with us, u will somehow push harder than usual, cuz those ppl like
Ck Izso, Cvkit and stupidcar damn fast and hard for me to follow

Had to push harder than I usually do when cornering. Tyre screeching 1st time at ulu yam.
But of course we are just there to have fun, dont push until is a matter of do or die...

Just push progressively then u get to understand the tyre limit better. Easier to drive once u know your tyre limit.

When you guys wanna go? I probably wanna go again before I change my suspension.

After the tyres run in, the grip will be better. If test, please look for wide area to do it, so even if skid got place to recover....

You should have got touge on your Kumho, then again after the RE-002 fitted, then again after the suspension change as this will let you have the different feel on your car handling....

My first set were Kumho too, but that time on 2.0L single cam auto, and theu felt great. After transplant VR, totally different feel, the tyres could not hold....

Not sure yet, hard to get everyone free at the same time usually. (especially me) haha!
I tested XM2 at Genting Sempah and Genting...anyway, I know is not a suitable tyre for such beating in the 1st place. Waiting to change my tyres few months down the road. Now still got about 30% thread.

Ya, Ulu Yam is not really suitable to test skid limit...small and tight road.
