Seller told me ecopia wear off quite fast. Not sure it's true onot. How isit if compared to Toyo neo3?

I think my ep200 have harder thread compare to my neo3.
Using it on 2 different car. The neo3 I think wear faster. But that's on my kancil sedan that i don't usually drive. My butt meter maybe not really reliable liao kakaka

Everything else nearly the same.

Falken 912 treadwear like 420 but wear out quite fast too

Use 912 before. Yup theyre fricking soft and wear out fast fast.
Before that on a few set of Bridgestone potenza g3 and my01 and yoko adrive r1. All are more longer lasting than the 912.
All on same car so can compare liao.

The thread wear rating I don't trust anymore.

Thank you u guys opinion and suggestion.

For u guys information, my pity Michelin xm2 tire has work with me 5 years already and used about 70k++ km, its work well until now. only breaking is not really good now maybe rubber is harden throughout the time. I likely to drive around 80-120km/h. My 1st tires which come with stock have given me very bed experience, breaking and cornering is not really well. its Silverstone, i forget what are the model. its wear out around 4 years, around 40k++ km if not mistaken.

best of all, which tire brand is the best for 185 /60 R14 small size tire ? and just for normal driving.

what about if i change to 15 inch rim and use 195 mm of tire, would it increase fuel consumption and satisfy comfort riding ? and what is the best brand tire for 15 inch and 195 mm other than michelin ps 3 ?

Thank you so much for reply.

Get the ep200 ler.
Smaller rim higher rubber of course more comfortable. If you change to 15, you'd probably get more grip, less comfort.

But acceleration wise, bigger rim but original lightweight construction is gonna be lighter and faster.
I still miss my ssr rims. But low profile tyres too uncomfortable now.

If you're not gonna layan korner most of the time the ep200 is a wise choice. Grip is there, braking is good, wet grip is good. I say very impressive for the price.

And before you expert say I dunno my shits, I have another car running on ps3. Bleh I don't do korners anymore. Wasted put ps3 in that car.

michelin ps 3 not good in handling ? my priority is choosing better wet and dry grip tires than comfort. My car do not have ABS system that is the reason.

ps3 good ler in handling.
just that i don't require that much grip anymore. i don't do korners or drive fast fast liao. wasted the grip.

only gripe i have with ps3 is that soft sidewall. the sidewall is quite squishy and so when you corner with the ps3 there's some squishy feeling.
and also it's using soft compound. be prepared to see some shredding and cracking on the thread wahaha

if straight road grip, wet and dry and braking, ps3 is good. probably the best that retain some kind of comfort and low noise.

You sure know your tires...most ppl will mention T1 Sports as T1S...which is totally wrong...T1S are of Toyo discontinued tires.

Good that you no mention T1R....I hate those tires. on the other hand, T1 Sports are worth the money.

PS3 wet performance is so good, the only tires that can surpass it are those godly rain tires GYF1 GS-D3.

The first time PS3 came out, I tried it in the heavy rain, was amazed.
Good replace for the F1 GS-D3 cos of discontinued and difficult to maintain.

heard some people got screwed by the gsd3 wahaha
not consistent from batch to batch.

some batch godly.
some batch like shit. kakaka
