Thanks for the feedback bro....

This morning I decided to give it (champiro HPY) a try.... Changed 4 tyres @ rm 275 per piece....manufactured (2511)
Thread wear 300 while traction rated AA and temp. A...
Initial feeling is ok.. Noise is very minimum... I would rated it 8/10...
As for performance (grip)... I rather comment it after scrubbed in period...hehe
Already tried it beyond 200kmh at lekas hiway and 140kmh on rainy condition (still stable)...
This tyre has 3 big and 1 small drainage groove... I would say good aquaplaning resistance (8/10)...
Will try to give feedback here after my tyres fully scrubbed in...hehe

To me, I think they are not bad. That was why I wanted to test these tyres.
GT Radial have made a name for themselves already. HPY again is their top range model and is the top Y speed rated

Some reviews...

It is the wet handling that is more important, as most tyres performs pretty well in the dry...... smile_tongue.gif

yup bro...agreed....

in terms of aquaplaning resistance , this tyre really performs..managed to cruise 130-140 kmh in soaking heavy rain when travelled to penang last week...no problem. smile_thumbup.gif

its wet handling (cornering and braking) which i cannot quite fully test it...in terms of normal driving in wet, no problem at all..

p/s: this tyre need at least 1k mileage to be scrubbed in before i can feel the difference in grip (dry grip at least)...

Yup, test quite a few tyres. Even entry level performs quite well in the dry...... smile_tongue.gif
