nay... tried asymmetric 2 b4.... din like it.... anybody using AD08? how about Toyo T1r? from what I gathered, I'm better off sticking with pss.....
Many international reviews actually place Assy 2 higher than PSS. Assy 2 has better wet braking compared to PSS im told. But a 235-45-18 Assy 2 tyre only costs about 900 while a PSS of a similar size costs between 1100-1250 depending on the shop. Thats a good 200-350 difference per tyre.

But ive never heard about tyres being worn after only 10k mileage. Even if you practice hard braking and cornering, it shouldnt wear so fast.

MICHELIN Pilot Super Sport  - 265/40R18 - RM1601

MICHELIN Primacy HP - 205/55R16 - RM1370

since PSS only comes on 18inch wheels. i just wondering how the Michelin Primacy Hp perform? since the price is quite expensive too...my car use 205/55/16 stock so planning to use same stock spec but wanna tri Primacy HP
Are u sure about the pricing? Something doesnt sound right. A Michelin PSS 225-45-18 costs RM 1090 at Tyrezone Taman Megah while Lim Tayar TTDI charges RM 1250. Both are before nego prices.

How then could a 16inch Primacy HP cost more? Doesnt make sense.

Lim Tayar TTDI ain't cheap. That much I can tell you for certain, usually Klang will be the place to go for cheaper tires.

No harm trying to give this shop a call to ask

Thanks. Will give them a call. But with Lim Tayar TTDI, i used to get good pricing which was even cheaper than Tyrezone and also cheaper than many shops in Ipoh. Ive changed tyres for 4 of our family's cars here. But since 2012 ive noticed that their prices have gone up quite a bit. Not sure why.

My latest price check at Lim Tayar TTDI was RM 1170 for Michelin PSS (225-45-18) and RM 890 for Goodyear Assy 2 (235-45-18).

Difference of almost Rm300, I'd just go with the cheaper GYEF1A2. Rm1120  savings is nothing to scoff at plus hard compound like what Quazacolt said, should be longer lasting.
Just did a check with Tyrezone and their pricing for the Michelin PSS is RM 1090. RM 200 difference compared to Assy 2. So that works out to RM 800 difference which i agree isnt a small figure. But im somewhat inclined towards Michelin probably due to my previous experience with the XM2.

An article about Goodyear Assy 2:
