Tyres Inner tyre destroyed..... Michelin PS5 ~9500 miles

Another scam is truly spoken that i30N even won't have a proper LSD or 4 piston calibers, same on i20, okay LSD is proper compared to i30 ones.
Gearbox completely build with bearings that use plastic ball cages.
Bydlo wheels from stock.
Weak simple suspensions, the cheapest stuff miles away from other hatches.

And a lot more not to mention!

Don't know what there's phenomenal about?

Biermann is only a small guy, maybe he was big in that shitty BMW world.

I will fix all that problems with the N in the future or sell it with a loss.

As a Car Mechanic I can assure you these cars are insanely precise engineered.
They do many small cuts but not as bad as other brands.
The i30N e-LSD is astounding compared to most famous FWD cars.

The suspension is already precisely engineered to drive on the Nürburgring specifically, the rims forged for toughness not lightness, we can argue about the Pirelli P0 PZ4 from Hyundai, but its know from many years that Pirelli is focusing precision in performance rather than durability.
And the PZ5 i have now prove that to be even better.

You sound like you know nothing about the car are are full of anger rather than seeing how good the car is.
I worked on GTI and BMW that were far worse than Hyundai.
And to top it, I spoke with the very Koreans who made them, and explained to me how much effort they placed.

I want to see any other brand engineers to shake your hand and thank you for having it.
Simmer down my guy

Okay you are a mechanic that can't change some worn bushes to poly ones, and don't know the differences between an e-LSD and a much much better helical torsen style mechanical one.

I quit this know, we both live in different worlds.

Hiya,

Are there any jobs going at your Hyundai press dept?

 

[PCPHeros]

especially given Michelin is known for overall best durability.

Proof of that statement please.

Thanks

Hiya,

I am a private car mechanic, and I started working on my own i30N, basically retired my job and became a hobby mechanic.
And I never worked with Hyundai directly, but would love to seeing as I meet the Hyundai N team.

Proof of that statement please.

Thanks

Experience wise the PS4 were good from what I have seen and heard, but PS5 I have no clue.
However I must say the Pirelli P0 PZ4 werent that bad as many think to believe, they do they job well.
And with the new Gen P0 PZ5 that I got, they are even better.
But for the Michelin they are known in both Hyundai and Car community as overall best, while Pirelli are known for precision.
And I rather have Precision every 2 years than blow them up on me like Michelin when exceeding durability/time or proper drive-in period.

Thanks all for the feedback! Although let's try and keep on topic!

Alignment done this morning.... not spectacularly out, but had it adjusted regardless. It was noted that the wheel was slightly steering to the left, although I didn't notice it when driving, and the car naturally wanted to go straight ahead, even under hard acceleration.

Alignment was previously done a little over 12,000 miles ago, suggesting to me nothing has changed all that much. One thing I do note is the camber is beyond spec. Not by much, but similar to that I was running on the Megane 4RS, so they are fairly similar in base geometry, although with different LSD (eLSD vs Torsen) and different suspension designs which may impact geometry and power delivery characteristics when driven.

Speaking with the tech's, it's likely I had just got to the point where the PS5's had reached (a little beyond) their usable life.

The last tracking was done when I was still running Perelli's, and I don't recall the inside being this bad, although I don't recall how bad the inner was. However, their duration on the car was far less, and they may have worn more consistently or had less chance to wear the inside before they got to the end of their usable life.

I do note that the OEM Perelli's lasted ~6300 miles before needing to be swapped out... the PS5's got to 9500, but to a point where they were beyond usable/legal, so more likely they were legal up to 7500-8500 miles usage.

All I can do from here is monitor and consider my options when it comes to swapping the PS5's out... do I stick or do I twist?!

What would be interesting is if anybody else has PS5's that are wearing the inside edge.... then this might be a case that the PS5's might not be the best fit and that PS4S or [insert other brand and model of tyre] might be better.
