Any comments from users of ContiPremiumContact 2??

Had a choice to swap my OEM Conti Premium Contact 2

went for the most pricey choice at RM300, the Toyo DRBs but have alternatives (in decending price order)

1. Yoko A Drive R1 (RM250)
2. Falken 912 (RM240)
3. Continental Premium Contact 2 (RM230)
4. Nankang NS2 (RM170)
5. Achilles ATR Sport (RM170)

please tell me i made a wise choice T___T

Just spent some time googling about tires and since i google using my tire size, here's my review on the Toyo DRB at 195/50/16 size

1. Outlook and first impressions
The tire is a semi-directional type with blocks at the sides, rounded at the edges. Beside them are two closed d shaped thread that gives it that semi-directional shape, and a solid unbroken hard centre rib down the middle with a strip of red ink (manufacturing marking). Tire looks less premium than the current stock CPC2s but it suits me so i'm fine with it. The edges as mentioned earlier is rounded, as compared to the square-blocked A-Drive R1s. Thread is reasonably thick, though A Drive R1s are thicker even, which i believe contributes to its awesome threadwear. Other options to be considered during my purchase include the stock CPC2, A Drive R1, Falken 912, Nankang NS2, and Achilles ATR Sport.

2. Decision
From the above choices, i decided to go for the priciest option for the heck of it. Its the only tire made in Japan so that's comforting to a certain level. I also wanted to try something different than the same ol CPC2. Nankang NS2 was priced at RM170 per piece, similar to the ATR Sport. Nankang NS2 however had very bad reviews, and i was considering ATR Sport. However, a fellow forum member once mentioned that it bulges and some cheaper Korean tires tend to burst out on highways. I don't do highways much but i rather not it happen at all. I do not like Falken 912s as i had personally bad experience with it being severely unbalanced, uneven wear (not due to alignment), and bad threadwear. The A Drive R1s are a good choice on my previous car with its long TW and ok grip but i wanted something different. The Yokos are RM250 each and the Falkens are 240 each. I bought the Toyos at 300 each.

3. actual usage
Well, i didn't use much of it yet, under a thousand kms but then it has already shone. it has good roadholding (i tried some quick-ish u-turns), not as noisy when driven in car parks, pretty ok water dispersing (it rained like nobody's business right after i bought it), and no major issues. comfort is there and since tires are new, its pretty quiet.

4. future
will update on the grip and lifespan but so far, so good.
