haha... really RM180 for that size...
wow... not now la... bz until mid of Jan... now need a rest... need to go SG once every 2 weeks until CNY... sienz...

looking for a RIM that fits my old toy, plan to upgrade from 185/60 R14 to 195/50 R15 or 185/55 R15...
but PS3 might be out as it's rubber makes my Vios burn more fuel compare to PP2 and Hankook V12 + i need a more softer sidewall for my old toy as on current size i felt a lil pain in my butt after some bumpy ride... so might change to V12 or some others tires (performance with comfort) to try out...but i'm very happy with PS3 for the grips that it give me in the dry and wet...

went to a shop to fit 16" of this tyre, but the shop recommended the cheaper Conti Sport Contact 2, same tyre came ori wif my 308.....he showed me why he recommended the CSC2..the sidewall of PS3 is harder vs CSC2, thus might be bumpier ride...but handling shuld be better though...can get it for rm430/piece here...

well for 308 (205/55 R16) am i correct? want comfort better go for Toyo brand... DRB is comfort with performance, as same with T1R also...
well sidewall hardness without fitted on the rims is 1 things but after fitted is another things...
always there is question to ask yourself... comfort means it needs to compensate with handling of the car... and some sifu tell me don trust the sidewall hardness b4 u try it on with ur ride...

Why fc is higher with PS3 ?
V12 is atleast one grade lower than PS3 rite?

actually i think PS3 and V12 is at same level where it is placed at UHP level... Max level Michelin got another Pilot Super Sport on the way already, i think that is a direct replacement for PS2 where it is available at 17" and above only...

the FC is directly affected the grip of the tire also... lesser grip means lesser rolling resistance then you get more fuel saving... so it is a give and take...

i thought CSC2/3 are more expensive than PS3?
and aren't 308s equipped with CSC3?
and i thought Ps3 is softer too compared CSC2/3
