Any recommendation for my honda civic FD2, tyre size 215/45/R17?

Been using Michelin PS3 all the time but 6 months ago change my front tyre to Toyo (I dont know which model) but the performance suck, cannot handle wet road at all.

Recently got a car workshop recommend me to use Conti tyre, he said he guarantee is comfort and excellent handling in wet road. The price he give me is RM370 per tyre.

Should I try it? Or is there any better recommendation?

Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2 would be the better choice if you have budget range up to PS3/Conti level. If you're looking for good value for money one, then can try GT Radial HPY.
But sure a shop gave you Continental for only rm370?? Better make sure which type and the year of make because that price is suspiciously low for Continental.

Must be conti MC5.

This model revive around that price.

Get the PS3 if u only consider between these two models.

Else, go with 6UEST suggestion.

But is MC5 good? Not really interested in good year. I can use back Michelin actually. But just thought of is there any alternative brand which can provide good and safe performance only.

Civic FD personally recommend GY f1a2 (more grip)or Advan DB (more silent comfort)

these to can match PS3 or even better in few section

Is CSC3/CSC5 better than Goodyear Assy 2? Car comes with CSC2 and needs replacement already..

It's not about fast driving, just pick the best one you can afford no matter how you drive coz in the end better tires will be safer as well.

oh then must see your budget lor.
eco tyre is fuel efficient but safety is not as good as performance tyre.
as for me, my life is worth so much so i would rather buy a good tyre.
accident always happen in kl because the emergency brake is not 100% so it also depend on the grip tyre.
it's hard to explain until u feel the chemistry once you have driven it.

advan db

ps3 more performance oriented though being a jack of all trades.
more comfort oriented tires from michelin would be the primacy 3 ST

A good high performance tire can be the difference between one having an accident and avoiding it.

CSC 5 tends to get bumpy once the thread wearing out around 70%. Yes...I am also advocating using good tyres! It save life!

I think most tires are like that coz the rubber gets hardened.
