Any opinion on xm2+ vs primacy 4st vs pilot sport 3 for honda city (15').
Driving style (on myvi 1st gen 14'):
- 130-170 on North south (100-120km/h on rain, don't remember)
- 100-140km/h on major roads/city highways when possible
- 60-80km/h on non major roads
- usually around 50-60km/h cornering. anything above 60 usually tyre start squeaking
- slightly lower speed 10-20km/h on wet condition.
- sometimes do hit potholes at speed (so tyre better not too fragile)
- faster than avg person on bumps.
- old tyres are like silverstones or other budget tyres. even drove with 4 different brand and 'flower' 3-6yo (well just realized)
preference:
safety/durability (in terms of fragility) > comfort/noise > durability (mileage).
Price is hard to judge. If xm2+ is sufficient of course best option since almost x2 mileage compare to primacy and ps.
Safe as in good enough wet grip but not too fragile kena non serious pothole then break. so far (10y+) driving no break tyre due to pothole (touchwood). Bumpy like tyre hardened is no fun. Noise? even budget tyre also seldom realized much noise (maybe too much road noise till not realized). best to last atleast 40kkm (all three of tyre above should pass this already).
I heard michelin tyre easy break/fragile is it true? Wanna give a try on these branded stuff as past experience only on (goodyear/silverstone/dunlop/toyo) budget tyres.
You drive rather fast so performance is your priority, not durability, then get PS3, end of story.

looking for advice for new tyres for Honda Civic X. My driving style is economical on the highway but I do corner VERY hard unlike most people. Current tyre is Continental MC5...very happy with this because its comfortable over uneven road/bumps and dry grip is sufficient but wet grip leaves much to be desired (especially in carparks).
Looking at a few options and all feedbacks are appreciated.
- Another Continental MC5 (safest bet...maybe)
- Michelin XM2+ (somewhat recommended? But I heard it cracks badly after a few years)
- Yokohama BlueEarth ES32 (I think Yokohama is a good brand? Will this crack as badly too?)
- Bridgestone Ecopia EP300 (recommended by workshop)
PS4 is not an option for me because it pretty much dies of in 2-3 years? I'm not interested in wasting money in something that lasts so short

Cornering hard but no budget for PS4? Then none of your choices above! Get at least Maxxis I-Pro for the cheapest, Conti MC6, Goodyear F1 Sport, Potenza Re004, Hankook S1 Evo 3, or Falken FK510. Best choice should be S1 Evo 3.
