Hello yngwie,

I am thinking of"

1. Falken FK452
2. Michelin PS3
3. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric

Size if 225/45/17 for the front and 245/40/17 for the rear, it is for W204 C230. Which one do you recommend? I am looking at an all rounder tyres. The original Michelin Primacy HP is too expensive. Thanks!!

Dear All,

im currently using PS3 for 225/40/18 ZR

time to chnage but ps3 price increased  fast from last year rm655 Klang Hin Leong and now rm790 from  the same shop.

Im now looking into other brands such as
1) Yokohama  S drive
2) Toyo TR1
3) Conti sport 2
Or any other recommend?  my bedget is rm600 or below per piece.

Many thanks.

are you on stock 185 width tires? if so, increasing it to 195 with 55 profile or even 205/45/16 might help.
check out tires conversion calculator in my 1st post.
also, changing to better suspension will definitely improves the handling. as usual, you can't have both so,
choose either handling or comfort.
btw, depend on your size, but 200 bucks is quite on the cheap side.
you could up your budget and try ps3. 15" is about 250 each or so.

1.  Falken FK452  - good grip and aqua planning resistance but tend to be noisy when tires tread wear out progressively.
2.  Michelin PS3 - best bang for bucks. good dry and wet grip. but sidewall a tad softer for touge'.
3.  Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric  - very promising but a friend of mine had his f1 asy's sidewall cracked due to
too much abuse. guess it's not the tires fault thou...

if you don't push hard in corner, ps3 is the best choice. quite comfort and quiet with better grip too. not to mentioned
it has the highest tread wear which in turn made is last longer than the other 2.

s.drive is fine.
toyo t1r's tread is too soft. conti sports 2 sux' in wet braking.
other alternative is s1evo. if you're tight on budget, hankook v12 is worth a look.

Thanks a lot. I wanted to get the same michelin primacy hp which fitted on all C230 but the price is 5k+ for all 4 corners. PS3 is only about half the price of the primacy hp. Although it is made in thailand but i think it is OK.

Thanks yngwie.

I think I will wait for the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 end of july. The current tyres still can last another 5000kms for the front and 15000km for the rear. But if the price is too high then I will go for PS3.

Have you heard anything about this tyre yet?
