Tire changed - Michelin Pilot Sport 3

Got my tires changed yesterday at Michelin Tire shop opposite Tesco Ipoh.
I bought a used set of Advan Neova AD07 and went to Dato Sagor Circuit track day with my friends on last Sunday. I had lot of fun with AD07 and really satisfy with the grip of the Neova during the track day.
After the track day the front side of the tires has been worn out and the rubber surface already tear out too.
Rubber surface already tear out while still left about 2mm on the grooves
My Swift original tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE080 and it served me well even I track it once last year. Although the groove still have few mm before the safety mark I decided to get a set of new tires instead of putting it back. I had done 40k km on the RE080 and it still looks great.
My new tires Michelin Pilot Sport 3
195/55/R15 85V Treadwear 320 Traction AA Temperature A
 The grooves design
I got it at a price of RM280 a pcs in Ipoh which I think it was still reasonable.
After 20km of driving on the new PS3 on dry and wet road; the noticeable feeling is the tires is very quite.
From the review the PS3 got some good comment for the grip during dry and wet surface road.
I think it is a relative good daily driving tires.

Tires rotated

Went for tires rotation this afternoon at Pusat Servis Tayar BH (Michelin Shop behind Kinta City).
Got to rotate my front tires to the rear as the front tires are worn off more than the rear after the track day on last week.
I does not have good experience with tires shop as most of them will try to take advantage on you and ask you to install chamber screws and so on.
Amazingly this shop owner does not talk crap story like others... and the price is reasonable too..
RM42 for Wheel Balancing and Alignment.
Also take the chance to check out Michelin Pilot Sports 3 price at RM240 for 195 55 R15 size.

Photos taken using my S90 :P
Tempted to change to light weight 15 inch rim - The boss introduce me Lenso 15 inch rim which weighed at 5.8kg (2 row from top on the left)

Wax my tires

Since I change my new Michelin PP2 i used to wash it weekly; however it doesn't looks new anymore and the surface had turn a bit of yellowish donno due to what reason. One day i asked my neighbour on what type of tire wax he used for his cars (his car tires was real shinny) and he recommend me this tire wax.
So i bought a bottle of Waxco Auto Guard Protectant from Tesco for RM13.90 yesterday and spray on my tires this morning.
Waxco four in one (rubber, plastic, vinyls and leather)

This is the end result (like brand new again)
