Anyone have any idea which of these models compared would be better? Priority on comfort/noise/long lasting....

Hankook Kinergy EX - at RM 245.00 per piece
Goodyear Assurance Triplemax - at RM 250.00 per piece
Toyo DRB - Price not found yet

Or are there any other better recommendations for the size above? Thanks!  blush.gif

I see, so now the best option for this size is either this MC5, Falken ZE914 and Toyo T1R

can take into consideration for Yokohama AR01

the wear is phenomenal at the expense of wet grip (massive slow down and does not cut through water well enough) whilst hard side walls make driving very firm

seem similar to previous tyre i use, Toyo T1R.. really bad in wet n the grip is nowhere near PS3.. thanks bro for ur feedback..

you used PS3 at this size too?

how much per tire? i would love to swap to these
*
i think PS3 dont have this size.. now i use 195/55/15.. i also plan to change to 195/50/16 coz this size is the most suitable size upgrade for vios from 15' to 16'..

Forgot the shop name, that jeff guy from mudah who sold rims...but if you go directly to stamford tyres glenmarie it's rm240/pc inc. GST & installation.

I'm taking the review rating with a pinch of salt since it's customer testimonies not expert review...like MLM, hahaha.

Btw, i'm not looking for outright performance but focuses more on balancing it with comfort and reliability. >98% of the time I drive like normal people on the road, so its not sensible for me to spend more for performance.

Previous tyres i've used conti cpc2, adrive r1 and nitto neogen. Also i've used re002 and ps3 on my other cars. There's no denying ps3 is a very good tyre but theres always that little regret inside me on why i spend so much money on tyre that i will never push to the limit.

My advise is to prioritise on the NEEDS rather than WANTS.

i think the extra grip from PS3 will be NEEDS when emergency braking.. wink.gif
we never know when will be something goes wrong.. just precaution step..

Yup, save my life once...but I think VSC intervention also critical.

Tested the ze914 while it was raining last weekend, should be ok if you limit yourself to 90kmh...

yup, thinking wanna try ZE914 with 195/50/16 size.. coz i got extra set rims 16', so might be wanna try it 1st..
