Michelin PS3. Quiet, awesome grip in wet and dry.

they don't even make profile 60 lol. only got profile 55. Not too bad la the sidewall, pump the psi higher by a few psi problem solved

60 profile and 55 is negligible la. last time i use prof 60 on rear, now change to 195/55/15, not much diff also

actually tyre pressure does affect rigidity of sidewall. you go track day, every PSI counts. I pumped my tires (Eagle F1 D5, Hankook V12) all the way up to 40psi on track day lol. After that try soften it to 35psi and bloody hell the sidewalls started rolling in the corners

nola just giving an example of what i learnt during track day with my Waja. a few PSI increase will stiffen up your sidewalls

Seriously bro, just get the PS3. You'll never regret it. The awesome thing about the tire is that its eerily quiet. Even when you push the tire to the limit, understeer or skidding due to hard braking, the tire squeel is nowhere near to what you're used to. This is coming from someone who've used shitty Silverstone, value for money Hankook Ventus V12, All-rounder Goodyear Eagle F1 Directional 5 and finally the PS3 and although the tire is the most expensive of the bunch, it beats all the tires in every single way in terms of braking, accelerating, cornering and noise.

depends la. PS3 got 55 profile only, don't have 60 profile. but width and diameter same. Its up to the shop whether they want to give anot lol.

yeah man, XM2 is a totally different range with PS3

If you're used to cornering with the PS3, you're gonna curse like hell when you're on the XM2 lol.

its just not factory spec. simple as that. some workshop won't want to mess with factory specs, but if you ask me, the diff between profile 55 and 60 is minimal, even negligible.

no comments on the bridgestone or pirelli, but the S-drive have pretty crappy wet grip

you're driving a Vios? if not mistaken those are stock Vios tires lol. PS3 also have in your size if not mistaken.

wider tires? time to change rims then

find 6.5j or 7j. 195/55/15 sudah.

if you want wider have to up the inches also lol.

depends on the size

i'm on 195/55/15 so PS3 is RM288 for me while V12 is RM205 lol. Thats why they say the V12 is value for money king.

never tried the GSD3 so no comment but i tried the Goodyear F1 D5 and the PS3 trumps it in every way. Just my honest review

IMO the Goodyear F1 D5 is very very similar to the V12 in terms of grip in dry and wet. Only thing noticeable is the harder sidewalls compared to the V12, other than that pretty much the same.

Yeah the Goodyear F1 Directional 5 costs RM265 a piece but then IMO the performance is more or less the same with a Hankook Ventus V12 which costs RM205 a piece. The PS3 is on a totally different level though so to me the RM288 price is justified

Since both the V12 and the F1 D5 is rated as UHP tires, the XM2 rated as normal use fuel-saving tires, and the PS3 trumps both the V12 and F1 D5, i won't go for the XM2 lol.
