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.

Initial impression, i think it's an okay tyre. Grip performance definitely not on RE002 or PS3 level, but still decent....wet performance dunno yet.

Noise wise, better than PS3, but not as comfy as CPC2...for its price, okaylah.

Nothing to shout about...

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...

Mediocre tyre...normal use only. Not so good grip when cornering or on wet day...
