umm if you really want performance, there's always Pilot super sport.

and when it comes to price vs performance ratio, almost everything will beat michelin except premium/top of the line flagship tires such as Yokohama's Advan series or Bridgestone higher end Potenzas for example.

Basically you want comfort but likes fast speeding with good corning, it dun come together one!!.
Currently go for GY Asy 2 as they are the latest tyres that rolled out. PS3 comfort is better but Asy 2 cornering is better...

You can't compare one company rating to another company rating. Each maker have their own way of doing the test so it will not be accurate. Only can compare with the maker few patterns.

actually no, for UTQG, which is printed/certified by the american DOT, they are tested by a uniform standard.

Dude, do you even read the link that you provided? Basically the link are saying the same thing that I said, which is different pattern from different maker can't be compared, only different pattern from same maker can be compared.

Excerpt from your second link:

if course i read em, from the US gov site:
QUOTE
Treadwear grades are an indication of a tire's relative wear rate. The higher the treadwear number is, the longer it should take for the tread to wear down.

A control tire is assigned a grade of 100. Other tires are compared to the control tire. For example, a tire grade of 200 should wear twice as long as the control tire.

Of current tires:

15% are rated below 200

25% are rated 201 - 300

32% are rated 301 - 400

20% are rated 401 - 500

6% are rated 501 - 600

2% are rated above 600


and from tire rack:
QUOTE
When looking at UTQG ratings it is important to realize that the Department of Transportation does not conduct the tests. The grades are assigned by the tire manufacturers based on their test results or those conducted by an independent testing company they have hired. The NHTSA has the right to inspect the tire manufacturer's data and can fine them if inconsistencies are found. While most new tire lines have their grades established when they are introduced, they are allowed a 6-month grace period to allow the tire manufacturer to test actual production tires. Once a grade is assigned it must be branded on the tire's upper sidewall and printed on its label.

UTQG Treadwear Grades are based on actual road use in which the test tire is run in a vehicle convoy along with standardized Course Monitoring Tires. The vehicle repeatedly runs a prescribed 400-mile test loop in West Texas for a total of 7,200 miles. The vehicle can have its alignment set, air pressure checked and tires rotated every 800 miles. The test tire's and the Monitoring Tire's wear are measured during and at the conclusion of the test. The tire manufacturers then assign a Treadwear Grade based on the observed wear rates. The Course Monitoring Tire is assigned a grade and the test tire receives a grade indicating its relative treadwear. A grade of 100 would indicate that the tire tread would last as long as the test tire, 200 would indicate the tread would last twice as long, 300 would indicate three times as long, etc.
i too can quote selectively! laugh.gif

sure it can be inconsistent however it still can be used as a decent guideline which is what me/ 6UE5T is trying to find out.
unless of course tire makers are totally fine about getting fines. (pun totally not intentional)

that is of course provided consumers are fully aware of what they are getting into, such as good performance + good nvh = damn shit treadwear (due to very soft tires) and anything above 300 or so is very unrealistic figures that should not be trusted.

like i said, it's a mere guideline and consumers should also be self-informed by doing their own asking in forums/threads such as this, read up reviews from websites such as tirerack.

that's usually the norm before you buy something especially when they are not cheap such as good tires, no?

i say, don't be mislead by threadware rating when making decision for purchasing tyre. read review, comparison, test result is ok. just don't believe the threadwear.
