Hi,

So far im happy with PS3 , confident in wet roads, but for dry roads kinda normal smile.gif it sees liek it performs better in wet. As alot sifu mentioned here ps3 is slightly soft at teh side, so it runs out easily .. now my Tyre already traveled around 35k and its time to change.

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.
