I'm using Goodyear Excellence 225/45R17 about 2 years and 4 months. Recently the workshop staff told me the tyres are worn out, so I'm thinking to replace a better and long lasting tyres. I drive quite often for long journey with high speed. I'm not familiar to this and I found there are many types even on a same brand tyre, its confusing. Anyone knows can give me some good recommendations? I should stick to the current size ? Thanks heaps!

I always hear about Michelin tyre performance is extremely good but the tyres usually can't last long. Does it true?

For 225/45/R17 I've used Continental CSC3, Goodyear Assymetric 1 & 2, Nexen N8000, Neuton NT8000 and Michelin PS3. Assymetric 2 for me is the clear winner in terms of performance among the lot. Noise and comfort isn't too bad either but the winner in that category goes to the PS3.

Thanks for the information. I change either Assymetric 2 or PS3 depend what tyre shop is around. Have to request for tyre as long as made in 2014 isn't ?

Most ideal when you start to use the tire is after 6months to 12months, after the production date. Go ask those sifu and google. That is why some tire mfg gave 5 years wrty on it.

PS3 price for 1 pcs 505myr. C&C 225/45R17

Seriously? I went to tyre store in Perak yesterday, the best price of changing 4 PS3 tyres for rm2200 (rm550 per piece) include balancing and alignment. :s

That's a pretty good price already. Most with lower prices around the Klang Valley doesn't include balancing and alignment.

I have ordered it and have to wait for a week but currently they have no stock in the store. The boss told me that once you use Michelin tyre, you won't use other brand tyre anymore. It sounds so good cause that time I was considering Goodyear or Michelin.
