0:00But what are you talking
0:02[laughter]
0:08flag?
0:09>> Because I know we have such a much
0:11better braking performance. So you
0:13finally can be fast going to
0:15>> because I'm your passenger.
0:17>> Yes, [laughter] she's learning.
0:19>> Yeah, she she does. She does.
0:20>> Yeah, since I drove the photo car, of
0:22course.
0:23>> Anyway, hello everyone. Welcome to a
0:25very exciting video. We have traded the
0:27nervous crane to a very iconic
0:29historical place namely Meepen where
0:33there has been an announcement filmed of
0:35Max Stapen participating 24 hours of
0:37Nervokine could have done the Nervokine
0:40but they chose this particular place. So
0:42anyway more on a serious note today we
0:44are at the European launch of Huer Track
0:47Attack Pro Semi Slick. Very exciting
0:50moment. My number one US audience of
0:53course requires no introduction to this
0:55particular tire brand, but it is a big
0:57thing in Europe. And today we will be
1:01trying out the tire, comparing it also
1:04to the competitors, which I really
1:07appreciate and like because of course uh
1:09you want to see whether it is better or
1:12worse than its main competitors.
1:14According to Hooser, the main
1:16competitors are Nankang CRS, uh,
1:18Yokohama AO52 and believe it or not,
1:22actually Trofeo RS and Cup 2 R tires.
1:26Now, we will have a number of exercises
1:29and vehicles today to compare such as
1:31slalom, the actual track driving, street
1:33driving, etc. So, right now we have the
1:37Honda Civic Type R FL5. So we have of
1:41course the hooers track pro and then
1:44competitor and in this case we have
1:47Nankang CRS
1:50tire over there we have G series BMWs
1:53that we will be comparing against COP 2
1:56R. Let me get out of the wind and sit
1:58here. Now Huier is actually a race tire
2:03manufacturer in the first place. So they
2:05don't really do any road tires except
2:08from the fact that they have road
2:10approval. So this is cool. They have
2:12race tire compound. And as of today,
2:16lots of tires are actually good and
2:19great in their own way. But the major
2:23feature or USP that I am in particular
2:25interested in is actually the feather
2:28light construction. their tire depending
2:30on the size can be between five up to 30
2:34plus percent lighter than a competitor.
2:37Now that's insane. On average like you
2:39are 1 kilo lighter. To put it into
2:42perspective, Porsche drivers spend tens
2:46of thousands of euros to get magnesium
2:48wheels to or even carbon ceramic brakes
2:52to reduce the rotational mass because
2:54people who drive the track, they know
2:56that this is the best way to improve
2:59your handling, braking, cornering, you
3:01name it. So, if you can cut 1 kilo per
3:06corner of your rotational mass, I think
3:10even if the tire is maybe not that
3:13sticky, you're still going to win
3:15significantly in lap time performance,
3:18but I'm sure the compound is good. In
3:20the end, it's going to be more
3:22interesting for me later through the
3:24season. And hopefully I'm going to get a
3:25tire for one of my cars and run it
3:28through number of track days, see how it
3:31performs in heat cycles, see how it
3:33performs in longevity. [sighs] It would
3:36be unfair to do wet performance because
3:38it's semi slick. But anyway, without any
3:40further ado, let's um yeah, let's start
3:43with our first comparison, which is the
3:45I believe autocross with the type in
3:48[snorts] FO5 and
3:50>> showing his natural
3:51>> also that person over there.
3:56>> All right, so our first outing, we are
3:59now in the F5 that's equipped with uh
4:03CRS tires. Of course, everything is
4:06cold. Okay, let's go.
4:09>> Cold tires. CRS. Let's try.
4:31>> What the is he doing? [laughter]
4:33>> Okay.
4:33>> Did I hit the cone or something?
4:34>> I think not. I'm not sure. Maybe you
4:36did.
4:37>> One, two, three, start.
4:55>> Please don't crush into the other.
4:57>> Total 1 kilome 3 minutes.
5:00>> 1831. Yeah. Okay. Not too bad. So
5:03roughly 1831 with the CRS's. For the
5:07sake of honesty of this review,
5:10we have to see that uh our car is
5:14actually on empty fuel tank
5:17>> and the other one was full tank of F5
5:20probably like 45 50 L on the back a bit
5:23missing. So
5:26all right and the other thing but I
5:29trust them that it's good because we
5:30asked them about the tire pressures.
5:31They said they just said to manufacturer
5:34specifications.
5:36Uh but yeah, we didn't we didn't check
5:39them. So, can we check it here?
5:41Actually, even
5:42>> I don't know.
5:43>> I I don't know this car.
5:45>> Yeah.
5:46>> So, first try.
5:47>> Yeah.
5:56H
6:08It does feel more uh reactive
6:12>> on the on the sidewall. So that I'm
6:14going to give it to them. So 100%.
6:17>> Okay. Let's let
6:19>> Yeah, you can time it.
6:20>> One, two, three, go.
6:23>> Okay. No wheel spin.
6:25>> Yes.
6:40Yeah, we're faster.
6:42>> 17.5. Yeah. One thing to mention, I
6:46downshifted to first gear, which I
6:48wasn't doing before.
6:49>> Yeah.
6:50>> And we of course also didn't
6:52>> No, don't do that in this flip.
6:54>> Try to stay in the second. And we didn't
6:56have wheel spin. So, I mean, off the
6:58starting line, acceleration was good.
7:01>> So, let's uh try again.
7:03>> 3 2 1 go.
7:12>> Stay in second.
7:13>> Ah, I missed it.
7:16>> I'll try it again because I
7:18>> You distracted me. I was supposed to do
7:20it. I'm like, what? What were you
7:21talking?
7:23[laughter]
7:24Oops.
7:25>> 1954.
7:30[laughter]
7:31And you stole it.
7:37>> Oops. [laughter and gasps]
7:38>> Is it broken?
7:39>> No.
7:40>> All right, let me try again. And
7:42[laughter] shut the up.
7:45>> But it makes more fun if you don't
7:47[laughter] do it.
7:50>> All right. Ready?
7:51>> Okay. Three, two, one, go.
8:13>> Yeah. Seven. It was 18. I stopped a
8:16little bit before.
8:17>> Okay. Well, we're like half a second
8:21fasterish. All right, first impressions.
8:23Track Attack Pro felt definitely more
8:27agile. Probably because of the weight,
8:29but as mentioned also, we need to have
8:32honest comparison. First of all, this
8:34car had empty tank. The other one we
8:37have here massive wheel spacers and here
8:40not and a full tank. And again, we we
8:44also don't know the tire pressures for a
8:46completely honest comparison, but
8:49felt good. For the sake of honest
8:51comparison, let's try the other track.
8:53Is this free?
8:54>> Yes.
8:55>> Yeah. I'll try that one cuz it doesn't
8:56have spacers.
8:57>> Yes, exactly.
8:58>> I don't feel a big difference.
8:59>> No.
9:00>> No, I don't think so.
9:01>> But I don't I don't feel it.
9:03>> Okay.
9:04>> It has a lot of
9:05>> Okay, we give it a go.
9:07>> Okay. So, now we're in the white car.
9:09Track Attack Pros one/ird of the tank
9:12and no wheel spacers.
9:14>> Okay. Three, two, one, start.
9:36>> 17.7.
9:37>> So actually same. Yeah,
9:39>> but it was your first try with that car.
9:41So you
9:41>> do I feel difference between spacers and
9:43no spacers?
9:45I would say not really.
9:47>> To be honest, we have definitely to say
9:49it's not worse than the Nankan.
9:52I think it's definitely a thing I could
9:54say.
9:54>> I I think it's better like at least on
9:57this particular yen with all the factors
9:59combined.
10:01>> Um I'm happy. I whether it's better I
10:04think lap times prove it. It's
10:06definitely not worse. It felt for me
10:08easier to control. Uh that's the main
10:10thing. Grip levels might be identical,
10:12but the agility and reaction was
10:15definitely better. So, and I don't think
10:18that
10:2030 kilos of fuel would make that big of
10:23a difference. Um so, yeah, I would want
10:26to know what the weight difference is of
10:28the CRS versus uh Track Attack Pro, but
10:31uh yeah, it's there. All righty. On to
10:33the next comparison. is one is called
10:37break and avoid. So we have G82 M4. We
10:43have one the competitor. We have the cup
10:46to R star. So homologated tire for BMW
10:51specifically. We can double check the
10:53sizes but yeah 275 3519
10:56and then on the rear we have 285 3020.
11:03Um, as per previous test, we have half a
11:07tank on it. And then on this car, just
11:11to do a little comparison, we have
11:15slightly less fuel, but that difference
11:20it's very negligible
11:23like Yeah. 275 351 19 and then I guess
11:28285
11:29in the 20 where we have yeah there we
11:33go. So all identical sizes.
11:37This also seems to be well it's been
11:41used by the previous group. So that's
11:43good equal comparison and as well as for
11:46the cup to R. Yeah. Plenty of tread life
11:51on it. So yeah. What are your
11:53expectations?
11:54>> Uh
11:55>> no drifting.
11:56>> No drifting. No high expectations. So
11:58we're comparing a tire to the cup to
11:59ours. The expectation needs to be high.
12:01It's it's honestly
12:02>> they're pulling themselves.
12:04>> I Yeah, I I got to say I got to give it
12:06to Huier. Like it's it takes proper
12:08balls to put yourself to against what is
12:11considered as the ultimate tire.
12:14However, now we have the Trofeo RS that
12:16a lot of people are switching especially
12:18on Porsches from Cup2RS. But yeah, if
12:20you can be better than Cup2R
12:23while being more affordable,
12:26>> if you can be on the level of Cup 2.
12:28>> Yeah. And being more affordable. and
12:30being more affordable. Yes, if they
12:32don't die after eight laps.
12:34>> Oh, also that perfect. Yeah, and that's
12:36something that we don't get to see today
12:38unless they allow us to do some
12:39burnouts. Actually, someone did some
12:40rolling burnouts, but yeah. Anyway, I
12:43guess we'll do the same thing a couple
12:44of runs and see where we stand where we
12:47are. One thing that Andre noticed is
12:50that the Cup 2 equipped is actually the
12:54better spec, so to say. proper
12:55competition wheels, the 666 or something
12:58they call them, I think, and carbon
13:00buckets. So, definitely less weight on
13:03this one, even though this one currently
13:05might have more fuel. And this you have
13:07a bit Yeah, different wheel and also
13:12heavier buckets. So, technically the Cup
13:152R equipped car might be even actually
13:18better. It definitely has the M
13:20performance stickers. So that counts for
13:23I would say 20 more horsepower. So yeah,
13:25if track attack equipped car is going to
13:27be better performing is definitely all
13:29the tires. All right. So the exercise is
13:31we eat accelerate to up to between 80 to
13:34100 km/h. Then once we're at the cones,
13:37we go on the brake and turn into the
13:38left and come to complete stop. The main
13:41purpose of this exercise so to say or to
13:44comparison is to see how the tire
13:47performs in ABS, hard braking and
13:50avoidance or trail braing for that
13:53matter. So let's go. Uh,
13:55>> of course everything is turned off.
13:57>> Yeah, we have everything turned off. You
13:59can prove it. But yeah, DC is off
14:02>> and it's zero uh DCSC off. So
14:04>> yeah, brake is on uh
14:07the brake is on sport. Everything else
14:08is no brake is on comfort. Everything is
14:10sport plus. I prefer brake on comfort
14:12because of better brake modulation. But
14:14anyway, uh
14:23well
14:26I think cup to a bit warming up still
14:28first.
14:28>> Yeah, maybe
14:30>> we'll try again. But I also need to
14:32>> but my seat moved in yours also. No,
14:35>> my seat moved in front.
14:38What?
14:38>> Uh, your seat moved because of the
14:41emergency braking for the optimal
14:43braking pos for the impact. Okay.
14:46>> So, if you're going to complain about my
14:49driving position, BMW thinks I'm safe
14:51enough. [laughter] Unlike you, beginner
14:54driver.
15:05[laughter] And again, my seat moved in
15:07the front.
15:07>> Yeah,
15:08>> I don't know if it was I guess it was
15:10better. I mean, the the tires are warmer
15:12for sure.
15:13>> Definitely better.
15:13>> Tires are warmer. Plus, I know better
15:15what I'm doing.
15:18>> But let's see what it does.
15:22The big thing of course also
15:24it's not a light car. So to be able to
15:29maneuver under heavy braking
15:34that's a big thing. So
15:41[laughter]
15:42the
15:45>> What's that land? Uh, no.
15:49>> I had it like on launch control because
15:51I put the foot on the brake and it
15:53upshifted directly to second gear and
15:55then it [clears throat] accelerated and
15:57then it lost traction in the third
15:59actually.
16:00>> Yes.
16:00>> So,
16:01>> Oh, when it put it in the third or was
16:03it? Yeah. When it Okay.
16:13Oh, that was a long
16:15>> Yeah, it was full in ABS. So, I tried to
16:17see how it would perform while being
16:20full on the brakes and ABS. So, it's not
16:25bad. It's what you would expect from
16:27emergency braking, I guess. But yeah,
16:29now the main
16:30>> question will be with the trigger attack
16:34pro. Oh, okay. We are now in the car
16:37with Track Attack Pro.
16:40Earlier in the introduction, I showed
16:42you that the car should not have the
16:43bucket seats, the carbon bucket seats,
16:45but there are two cars with track pro.
16:48So, this one has it. It's the one that
16:50was actually getting new tires [music]
16:51while we were filming the intro.
16:53[snorts] Uh, we can show you the outside
16:55footage later as well, but the main
16:57thing is that I'm going to adjust our
17:00position. Yeah. So we go brake and
17:03comfort. Everything is sport plus
17:06manual gearbox. All right. So we going
17:09to try to do the normal one first and
17:11later I will do the launch control to
17:13see what the car will do. So off we go.
17:15>> Okay. Let's go.
17:24>> H.
17:27>> Okay. It was the first try. Let's see
17:29again. The noise was interesting.
17:32>> Yeah.
17:33>> But they said that someone previously
17:35had actually possibly
17:38um what you call it dented the wheel of
17:40this particular car. So maybe it's a bit
17:43out of the alignment, but acceleration
17:46felt good. The steering felt also
17:50lighter. Again, probably or most likely
17:52due to the lighter weight of the tires.
17:55And performance was still good from what
17:58I could tell.
18:01The braking feel longer.
18:02>> Longer? Yeah, because they're probably
18:04colder.
18:05>> Maybe it was also Yeah. And maybe it was
18:06also a bit faster.
18:08>> I was definitely faster because the car
18:10didn't lose traction. It kept on going.
18:12>> Why would you do stupid stuff like that?
18:14>> What the?
18:16>> We tried the launch control.
18:27>> No sidewave action. Yeah, you could feel
18:29>> it didn't lose it. It wanted but it
18:32didn't.
18:32>> Yeah, you could really feel that it
18:34wanted to lose it.
18:36>> I liked it. Yeah. Okay. The grip is
18:39definitely uh the agility feels better
18:43and the grip because the car doesn't
18:45lose traction feels also better. All
18:47right. We try now again without the
18:49launch control.
19:00Did we hit the cone?
19:01>> He's running, I think. Yes.
19:03>> No.
19:04>> Yeah. Yeah. The last one. Yeah. I also
19:06thought that you was hitting that one.
19:08>> Okay.
19:08>> Yeah. But it was okay. Not that far away
19:11>> cuz I was just like enjoying maximum
19:13acceleration because that was like way
19:15beyond the speeds I was doing with the
19:17other car. So, let's try to tone it
19:20down.
19:20>> Last one.
19:33>> Good. I like it.
19:36>> So, I'm looking forward to test them
19:37now.
19:38>> Yeah, you do now. Okay. Track Attack
19:40Pro. Different car. Same vibes. So now
19:45you can see
19:46>> how the seat goes in front when Misha's
19:48braking.
19:57>> It definitely distracted you. [laughter]
20:00>> But
20:02I mean I was I was significantly faster
20:05now cuz we had launch control. It didn't
20:08lose much traction
20:11uh on the turn in sorry on the
20:14acceleration with gear shifting
20:17and no it's it's good. Okay, now we'll
20:20do without launch control just to try it
20:24out. But in general, like really the
20:27braking, the hard braking and then
20:29regaining of the turn and whether it's
20:32under still under ABS or not, I'm
20:35impressed. Like there is uh usually like
20:38it should go just straight. It should
20:40under steer straight into the wall. So I
20:43think if anything, it's a very
20:45impressive tire.
20:53So, the breaking point was with 95 now.
20:56>> Yeah. Yeah.
20:58>> And I didn't go full on the brakes
21:00because I wanted more to avoid anyway.
21:08[music]
21:13>> That was stupid launch control. was.
21:15>> Yeah,
21:17>> that was too uh too much lounge control.
21:19>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway,
21:24[music]
21:34I think you can really see how the
21:36G-forces are in that car with my my
21:39GeForce measuring [laughter] system.
21:42>> Yeah. All right. Happy.
21:44>> Nice.
21:45>> Yeah.
21:46>> But now I think it's lunch time or
21:48>> would be nice.
21:48>> That was fun. But now we proceed to the
21:52most fun part of any kind of press event
21:56and that's food cuz the way to buy
21:59journalists independent opinion is
22:02through the stomach. So let's see uh
22:05what who's here has come up with it. And
22:07we're going to have proper American
22:08brisket. Oh, it's actually more German
22:10probably.
22:11Nice. Well, I'm up with that.
22:16Oh, all right. Well, we have something
22:18American. There we go. How many cameras
22:20do we need?
22:22>> 300.
22:23>> I'm very hungry.
22:25>> I'm very hungry.
22:26>> Yes.
22:28>> How the burger stand?
22:30>> Good. Did you use the Mississippi sauce?
22:32>> Yeah,
22:32>> I did. Looking forward to try it. And of
22:35course, as a proper Dutch guy,
22:37mayonnaise.
22:41Fast forward and I got to say this is
22:43definitely one of the better burgers
22:44that I have tasted. And having said
22:46that,
22:49>> this may influence my opinion of the
22:51tire from here on to a better way. No,
22:55jokes aside, uh it's an actual
22:57journalistic event. No one is being
22:59paid. Actually, we had to pay our own
23:01travel costs here. So it's
23:04honest opinion and you know my longl
23:06lasting relationship with Nankang and
23:09also how I do genuinely appreciate
23:11Capuart tires. So here we are but I'm
23:15sure both of them are working on
23:18something here as an answer but then
23:21maybe is going to bring out the track
23:23attack race.
23:26Going to be interesting to get that
23:28homologated in Europe.
23:30Track day only.
23:34>> Yep. Batties are next level. After a
23:37fantastic lunch, it's time to actually
23:40hit the racetrack and we'll be following
23:43our beloved instructor. Yeah. We
23:45actually go way back like 10 15 years
23:47ago.
23:48>> Yeah. We've done like you boosted Boris
23:50times.
23:50>> Oh yeah. Remember? And awesome.
23:52>> Wow. Long time ago.
23:55>> Yeah. So, he has unfair advantage. He's
23:57going to be in a E36 M3 on Huier um
24:02autocross tires. We have a C43
24:06AMG electric power. We definitely like
24:09all of that. Um a G series and then
24:12finally Lotus Amir. All of them are on
24:15track attack which is great but also we
24:19cannot compare. And also since I don't
24:22know the track, I don't know if it's
24:24going to be great. fantastic my blowing
24:26or whatsoever. What is interesting in
24:28this particular case is uh we just had
24:31lunch as you knew as you know and
24:33[snorts] the tires are very low
24:37actually. So, we'll be interesting how
24:38long it's going how it is going to
24:40perform in a deflated state. How long
24:42it's going to take time to actually get
24:45up to pressure and yeah, how it's going
24:47to handle among quite heavy car, sporty
24:51car, and the lightest of them all, but
24:54probably the slowest shifting of them
24:56all. Not as slow as Vika, but uh yeah,
24:58that's something else. All right.
24:59[snorts] Uh let's up in do a couple of
25:02laps, see what's all about. Can see the
25:04tire pressure. One and a half bar.
25:06That's what it is usually.
25:30Green flag. Green flag.
25:45That's another course like I knew it.
25:50I need bucket seats.
25:52>> Oh, and warm tires or a bit of tire
25:57pressure would be good.
26:08Why? [laughter]
26:09>> What are you doing?
26:10>> Nothing.
26:46Okay.
26:50Come on.
27:17Heat. Heat.
27:35out.
27:39>> I'm going in. Yeah.
27:44>> Why?
27:45>> Where's the
27:47>> I don't know. It's Mercedes. Maybe that
27:50>> it has 5 billion buttons, touch screens
27:53and everything. It's I'm actually even
27:55on like fan leaked.
27:58Okay. So, but how is the pressures?
27:59Okay. Well,
28:00>> one nine.
28:01>> Yeah.
28:01>> And two.
28:02>> Honestly, it wasn't too bad like for a
28:04>> Can you please turn it?
28:05>> Yeah, I cannot. I don't know how this
28:07works. There we go.
28:09>> Oh, good. Thank you.
28:12>> All right. You get in your time. All
28:14right. So, first impression. It's good
28:17to make this uh boatable vehicle handle.
28:23Okay, it's quite an achievement. So,
28:25having the tire done quite all right
28:27again. We have nothing to
28:30Oh, okay. It's just a reflection. I
28:31thought the brakes were smoking. We have
28:33nothing to compare it against.
28:38>> So, that already feels better.
28:40>> Yeah.
28:51It actually rotates.
28:56Oh yeah, on that car they really work.
29:01>> Yeah, the weight transfer is so good.
29:08>> MDM mode.
29:09>> Yeah.
29:09>> Okay.
29:10>> I think so.
29:11>> Yeah. Yeah, it's MDM. Yeah, cuz we're
29:13not allowed to switch off DC. We were
29:14allowed to do MDM,
29:16so we cannot do full skids. But
29:19honestly,
29:23the feedback through the front axle is
29:25good. I of course drive a lot of these
29:28cars, so I think this is probably the
29:31best benchmark.
29:33Really like the again the front axle
29:36feel.
29:57Heat. Heat.
30:03Heat
30:22up here.
30:52Okay, two laps of mine are done.
30:56I'm I'm happy. I'm really happy. I like
30:59I I cannot do like uh like this uh
31:03overexited influencer thing like, "Oh my
31:05god, it's the best ever." It's like,
31:08"No, it's it's good. I really like the
31:10rotation, the feedback, the transition,
31:12like the the weight load, uh or like how
31:15it handles the weight,
31:18uh the braking, the turning. It's really
31:21really nice. It's definitely one of the
31:23better tires that I have driven, but uh
31:26for honest comparison, it would be good
31:29to have a onetoone comparison, but I'm
31:31sure we'll get to do it later in the
31:33year with one of my own cars, but this
31:35like impressed. So, one thing I need to
31:38say, you need proper bucket seats in
31:40this one.
31:41>> Yeah.
31:42>> So, that was a bit uh painful for my
31:44back. Maybe also good to show how good
31:46the tire is that it throws around the
31:49passenger,
31:50but
31:51>> not only the passenger. [laughter]
31:53>> Yeah. Yeah.
31:55>> Also, my my leg is hurting because I was
31:57holding myself [laughter] here.
31:59>> Yeah. All right. onto the Amira.
32:26He
32:32This is so good.
32:34>> Yes,
32:42>> that one also feels the best as a
32:44passenger. Yeah,
32:54I feel so comfortable like being up
32:56close to them because I know we have
32:58such a much better braking performance.
33:13Oh,
33:39heat, heat.
33:58Heat. Heat.
34:24That was the most fun. That was epic.
34:29That was insane.
34:33Cuz proper sports car. And for people
34:36who watch my previous video on the Amira
34:38who absolutely hated it, this one is
34:41good. So, I guess the this is the AMG
34:43version, I assume. So, I need to double
34:46check. But the shifting was okay.
34:49Uh the torque was there, everything was
34:51nice, but more importantly, the handling
34:55and the braking.
34:57Wow. Of course, the other cars should if
35:00you want to track them, you would have
35:02different suspension, different
35:03kinematics, different everything. But
35:06this
35:10not bad come
35:15driving was amazing. Exactly our cup of
35:18tea. Really, really love the tire
35:21performance. Not going to overexaggerate
35:22that. Of course, I'm very much more
35:25looking forward to actually compare it
35:27to my car, other tires on the no ring,
35:30etc., etc. And right now, we are going
35:33to have some road driving. I believe
35:35there's going to be drestricted autoban.
35:38I personally don't care about it in a
35:40sense also I don't like to driving fast
35:42on public roads even on autoban.
35:46Um, but it's interesting to see or more
35:49importantly to hear how the tire
35:52performs or whether it is making noise
35:54on the road because if you're putting it
35:57on a daily track car and you have too
36:00much noise and VH might be a deal
36:03breakaker for some people. So, let's see
36:05how it goes. And uh yeah, we are by the
36:09way in Porsche Spider, not Spider RS,
36:13but the lack of insulation, although
36:17it's actually pretty well insulated,
36:19should give us quite a good
36:21understanding of the tire noise limits
36:24and comfort levels as well. What do you
36:27think of the rolling resistance?
36:29Cuz some semislicks, they like really
36:31drag the car, slow it down because
36:33there's too much grip and therefore your
36:35fuel consumption goes up.
36:38>> The problem for me is that I never drove
36:41that kind of car. So I don't know how
36:42the rolling thing is from a car by
36:46itself because some cars just Yeah. stop
36:49when you stop giving gas, giving petrol,
36:52giving ah accelerate. Giving giving
36:55accelerate.
36:56>> Yeah. You give them you give them food
36:58and then they go you feed the beast and
37:00then it goes.
37:02>> But the tires are not that loud. So
37:03that's a good thing because some Zaks
37:06they are so loud when you just drive.
37:08>> Air1s is probably like the loudest tire
37:10on the planet.
37:11>> Yes,
37:12they are proper loud. Yeah.
37:14>> Yeah.
37:16>> Well, I can tell you that there's more
37:18wind noise than tire noise.
37:24Done a little swapperoo. So now we're in
37:26the Audi RS3.
37:28>> So the next intersection, next turning
37:30left immediately.
37:32>> You need to go left. Next one.
37:34>> Okay.
37:35>> No, the next one. Not here. Anyway, we
37:38added Ricky as BOP.
37:42And
37:44we continue our street driving.
37:48Another feature that we are um I
37:51wouldn't say testing but get to
37:52experience is the tire/ suspension
37:55behavior on uh still not as bad as UK
37:59roads but
38:01>> like challenging roads essentially nor
38:03life basically and I would say it's
38:06actually quite comfortable
38:10not bad not bad at all jump what
38:14>> so carousel will be also comfortable
38:17Yeah, you can try to do the ABS full
38:20braking into the carousel and go through
38:22the carousel while you're doing trail
38:24braking. All right, now we have come to
38:26the last part of the day, some Hooser
38:28101. But I want to show you my favorite
38:31part of the tire. We have here scales
38:3412.64
38:375 and we have here cup2R 295 3020 and we
38:42have 295 3020 hooer tire. [snorts] So
38:4512.645.
38:48Let's put it off. We'll put the hooer
38:51on.
38:54Look at that. Over a kilo like kilo and
38:57a half less. That's more than 10% but
39:01like kilo itself per corner that's going
39:04to change a lot and you definitely feel
39:07that.
39:07>> First going back to the company uh what
39:10are your top three markets? I know
39:12between Europe, um, Canada and Mexico,
39:17they're they're probably about equal.
39:19>> Mhm. Uh, what was the development brief
39:22of the tire? What did you want to
39:24achieve by making it?
39:26>> We wanted to bring a a race product to
39:30the the street market. Instead of
39:32trailing your car to the track, you just
39:34you you drive your car from the garage,
39:36you drive it to the track, you have fun,
39:38and you drive back home. Um you
39:40obviously you can't do that without the
39:42fully street legality. We had some
39:44products that were great if you could
39:45get to the track and you had an extra
39:46set of wheels and you could you know
39:48change your tires then that's great but
39:50we were missing out on you know so that
39:52the intent was to bring that level of
39:54performance but then put it into a
39:56street bowl product that would compete
39:58against the top existing um competitors
40:00in that market. You
40:01>> know today we had quite some good
40:03comparison with your competitors. So I
40:05think everyone had a good understanding
40:07of where this tire sits. The track
40:10attack rings for the R. I mean we may
40:12not get it here in Europe, but what
40:15would be the comparison of that versus
40:17other competitors
40:18>> in the US market? Yokohama has an AO55.
40:22There's a PLA came out with a Trofeo
40:25Trek
40:26>> that was just recently released. Those
40:28are probably the two main competitors.
40:30Um BFG used to play in that market. They
40:32were they've been out for years. And why
40:34would people go for for the track race
40:36instead of like full slick because it's
40:38nearly
40:40>> the same. Like is there like regulations
40:41or is it like still price or
40:44>> I I think there's it's a bit of both. Um
40:48the the slicks are obviously a lot more
40:50expensive. I mean
40:51>> a set of slicks can be $4,000.
40:53>> Yeah.
40:54>> Um so this is priced substantially below
40:56that.
40:57>> How much roughly? I mean depends on the
40:58size.
40:58>> Yeah, it depends on the size. It's going
40:59to be anywhere from 270
41:02something to 500 plus uh for the the
41:05real premium fitness that 20 21%
41:07>> a piece or
41:08>> a piece. Yeah.
41:09>> And then there's the size range, the the
41:11fitment. Um the slicks are limited. Um
41:13you've got, you know, like a 305 650.
41:16We've got a 305 680. You got 325710.
41:20Those are most common ones. You got some
41:22other um niche fitments, maybe like a
41:24305 660, but they're they're few and far
41:27between. So it's it's difficult I think
41:29sometimes to find the the right slicks
41:31for the you know particular car. Um
41:34availability is another thing. They're
41:36not maybe as as widely available.
41:38>> Um and then a lot of the regulatory
41:40bodies the sanction groups they will
41:43outlaw certain outlaw slicks. Um they'll
41:47only allow you to use certain brands and
41:49certain types of tires.
41:50>> Uh again to control the the cost. Um so
41:53there there's a lot of reasons I guess
41:55why.
41:56>> Yeah. And that's it. The day has come to
41:59an end. Wait, it makes it sound like it
42:01was a vlog. Essentially, it was. I was
42:03sharing you the experience I was
42:04getting, but also giving you a bit of a
42:06review, a mixture of everything. And I
42:08think that it is how it's supposed to
42:10be. My verdict, first of all,
42:12fantastically organized event by Huer. I
42:14think it honestly takes balls to put
42:17yourself against a competitor product
42:19and actually let everyone try it out and
42:22give their honest opinion. So that is
42:25like really done properly. That's
42:27something that shows confidence and I do
42:29believe that the performance was
42:32superior. Grip levels, we will figure it
42:34out once we're going to test it on a new
42:36and I can give you a more in-depth
42:38opinion. But when it comes to the
42:40response of the tire due to reduced
42:42weight, that for me sold the tire, you
42:46could say. So extremely excited. that
42:48I'm going to try to get a set for my
42:50Corvette because I mean Corvette,
42:52American car, American tire, how like
42:55what else do you want? So, I would
42:56really like to try out soon the Track
42:59Attack Pros, maybe Track Attack Race or
43:01R8 as well, but then too many people
43:04going to complain that, oh, that's not a
43:06street figure. But story for another
43:08time. Anyway, fantastic event, fantastic
43:11tire. I'm really excited to try it out.
43:14As I said, there's going to be now
43:15another track day happening. As you see,
43:17lots of tires have fallen today. So, it
43:22was it was really, really great. So,
43:24thank you for the invite. Really enjoyed
43:27it. Great cars, great tire, great food.
43:30Um, great company as well. All kinds of
43:32people that we know that you know. And
43:34that's kind of it. On to many more, many
43:38more, many more. Should I start doing
43:40press events again? Like, cuz I want to
43:44do variety of content. Let me know if
43:46you enjoyed this video. See you.
