hi anyone using this tyre? and wat would ur feedback about this tyre compare with other.

TQ.

Alot... but not me, at least not yet...

Feedbacks you're likely to get is they're grippy, good on dry and wet, priced nicely, but the sidewalls are not stiff meaning not so good handling...

i also heard a lot of positive feedback bout this tyre but when im using it feel like not so good compare with my old tyre GoodYear Eagle F1 GSD3 especially in wet condition...

problem that i face
1- when drive through those "air takung" after rain feel like not so grippy
2- when rain time also can feel not so grippy while driving fast

also this tyre is recommended by those well knowledge bout tyre ppl in lyn as open tyre thread b4.

any advise.

tq.

drive around 5000 km 1st... let the wax wear off

so this is the thing that make my tyre not grippy enuf??

my dad car is on this tires, very grippy on dry and wet. i rated it better than my current dunlop sp sport maxx and RE001.

already coverd 9000km. vw mk5. better grip than my previous CSC2. but softer at higher speeds. cheaper too.

is there any tyres within the same price range, which is better than this PS3 ?

conti sport contact 3, better than Pilot sport 3 but of course alot expansive.

How much is this tire ? 15"

CSC3 get good scores in europe test. no1. our local review mostly prefer Ps3 to CSC3. maybe our rainy whether
CSC3 is exp because it's made in germany. Ps3 cheap because made in thailand (17"). 18" ps3 is made in hungary

PS3 got 15".

Am using 18", its an excellent tyre

Got to agree that this is a very good tyre. Feels safer on wet road.

what about noise lvl of this tyre? compare to tyre like Toyo C1s? Yokohama C drive in term of noise and comfort lvl?

you need to slow down when driving over a pool of water. if you drive fast, no tire could saved you from a mishap. drive safely.
btw, the deep directional tread(good against aqua planning) of gsd3 does help when driving during downpour but that was about its only advantage over the ps3. gsd3 lose out in dry and intermediate condition. gsd3 is hell noisy too.
perhaps you need to wait till the tires fully run-in. am already on 2nd set of ps3. so far so good.

around 240 bucks for 195/55/r15

as an ex-user of c.drive, i could say ps3 is much quieter than c.drive. both are at different pricing thou.
comfort and performance is two different characteristic. one have to give.

no idea about 17" c.drive cuz' was on 15" back then on my 2nd ride. but their 15" pricing is almost 50 bucks different.
now already on 2nd set of ps3 225/45/r17 on main ride.

btw, c.drive's traction rated 'a' while ps3 was 'aa'. both can't be compare

how about comparing PS3 and S1 Evo and GY F1 Asym?
where as those are in about same range of price for 215/45/r17....

mainly concern on comfort and silent drive......

for the handling, of course you will feel nice with harder sidewall tires... but in terms of all rounder which gives you non-stop of grip and some comfort it is PS3 indeed... try GSD3 for wet traction and handling... it tops but the noise from the tires is unbearable for me according to my sifu... i like to have good good grip with reasonable comfort and noise...

well GSD3 tops in wet traction and aquaplaning effect until this moment there is no tires manage to beat it as i known of... and directional tires mostly will be better in those compare to Asymmetric and Symmetric tires...
but the comfort and noise level of directional tires is not acceptable by some ppl like me... the most irritating is the noise...
aquaplaning effect also depends a lot with the weight of the cars and of course the width of the tire...
the more the width of the tires is the most easier to get aquaplaning effect cost the water dispersion is not as fast as smaller width tires... and of course if your car is as light as 1.1 tonne with wider tires then the more easier u feel those effect...

er... depends on ur size... 15" series is GSD3 which is better in wet but the comfort and noise is a lil irritating...
then 17" series u have another challenger GY F1 Asy, cheaper by RM50 per tires...
of course when u ask ppl about PS2 they will say really good but price is unreasonable... so it depends what is ur requirement (comfort, grip, handling and noise + dry or wet traction) on the tires and the price...

now should be around RM240~260 a lil steep for 195/55 R15...
for old gen Vios and City size 185/55 R15 is around RM210~240...

PS3 is give you the grips that u cannot really get from others...
but S1 Evo mights works better in wet coz it is directional pattern...
lastly GY F1 Asy will give you better value with it's performance...
it depends how much you wanna pay and what kinda requirement...
