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...

good price... might for there to see see look look after my sis wedding in Jan...

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...

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...

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...

haha... well that is what i heard off... CSC3 after sometime of usage it hardens and growling every meter...
