If you have the budget, go for the PS3.
It is much better.

Have tried D05 for a week, recorded nearly 1500km.

Found the compound to be a bit stiff, grip wise just ok. At least I dun feel that grippy when traveling above 140km/h.
For the price, nothing much to complain.

New tyre should be put at the rear.
The better grip tyre, should be at the back too theoretically.

PS3 and D05 not in the same league, not sure how would be the outcome if you mix them on your car.

Front wheel or rear wheel, the best tyre should be at the rear.

If the rear tyre burst, your car will swing around but if the front burst, you could possibly control it with the steering wheel. Anyway, most tyre would have maximum 5-year shelf life.

If that the case, you shouldn't have bought Ps3 either

I found that D05 grip is better to me now. Perhaps tyre pressure was a bit too much, at least I dun feel that with Goodyear/Continental before this.

Overall, good buy.

Ditched the Tyre after nearly 40000km since installed a year ago.
Really whack the tyre 9 9. Size 205-55-16
Bought it for rm225 per piece a year ago at weng Heng. Their alignment sux.

Initial stage, everything decent. Could do dry high speed at 160km/h highway cruising not much issue but dry grip start to fade by then. Its good enough for the price paid. I am not expecting Ps3 performance anyway.

Wet grip to me, decent. Somehow wet grip start to fade as Tyre wear. When thread left 50%, aqua planning quite obvious. Again, this is budget tyre. I need to have high concentration while driving during rainy day, especially when I cruise on North-South highway.

For the price paid, now there are hankook ventus 2 concept, Achilles atr sport as alternative. Considering trying other brand soon.

I thought the same. Ended with Achilles. Hopefully another bargaining buy.

Atr sport. At least good experience on my brother e60 and friend's w204.
E60 did a lot highway cruising above 200km/h dry, he is happy with it.

Many people question me to take Achilles atr sport over the ventus 2 concept though.
Let hope I will not regret the purchase.


V12 cost a lot more too....

Dunlop d05 doesn't do too well in high speed cruising in dry. Grip started to fade above 150km/h. Tyre started to become bouncy.

Atr sport isn't high performance tyre anyway, unless someone trust the traction AA rating so much. Somehow many E-segment and above vehicles use them a lot due to the cost and frequency of changing. E-segment cars are heavy and not all willing to pay rm600 per tyre and change every 20000km. Many would be willing to settle for cheaper alternative that have decent reputation.

Thus far, the better tyre that I tried on my car was Goodyear f1d5. It's really grippy for the price paid. Let hope atr sport do a bit better than d05 on my car.
