This is the best value for money tires and it's only rm20 over your budget and maybe you can even try bargain a bit. It's UHP category tires yet the price is similar to lower category mid-range tires and the comfort and noise level can match or even beat those mid range tires. Any other cheaper will not be so good/big drop in performance for just a little difference in price (for example Toyo DRB, Goodeyar NCT5, BS Ecopia, Dunlop D05, Continental CC6, etc2.) so not really worth it.

Hmm yeah outside Klang Valley will be much more expensive. Then probably just go with some that I mentioned above, maybe particularly the Dunlop D05 or Goodyear NCT5.

Nope, PS31 is just barely entry level UHP and not that good. Which reviews do you read that say PS31 is better than V12E2??
Read this from Tirerack:

Highlighted comments that shows this tire is not really UHP:
"Kumho's Ecsta PS31 fails to deliver on its Ultra High Performance Summer promise..."

Can share why you feel the NCT5 is really bad?

CC6 is Continental's lowest model so not recommended coz poor grip performance typical of low end eco tires, should be even worse than NCT5.

CC6 IMHO is really not worth it because it's low end tires but comparatively the price is rather high (for such low category performance) due to the Continental brand. IMHO the Dunlop D05 should be your best bet.

Ah ya, NCT5 has rather shallow cuts for water which can be worn off rather quickly hence even though the tires maybe still have a lot more main tread life but the water cuts already almost gone so easier to aquaplane.

Yes, PS4 is the best now, if got budget then surely just go with PS4.

Try increase first by maybe 2-3psi.

What car is yours? PS4 is supposed to be excellent in wet driving but everybody has different confidence level when driving so cannot really say something wrong with the car/tires.

Yes PS3 is well known for being excellent in aquaplaning resistance.

To the contrary I have great respect for people like you who try to use the best possible tires even on their old cars, showing their wisdom in recognizing how important tire grip is! I'd respect people like you a lot more than those who own expensive cars yet be a cheapskate using whatever cheap crap tires they can find. So two thumbs up for you!

Anyway for your case also, if the suspension especially absorbers are already spoiled then the stability will be compromised and giving less confidence to the driver. Modern cars also have better grip with many sophisticated driver aids like TRC/VSC hence improves stability and confidence in driving, therefore cannot really compare or say that really something wrong with your car/tires too if you cannot follow their speeds. The fact that the PS4 already saved you a few times is testament to the wise choice that you've made! I wish there are more people like you on the road.

Tread depth of course play a major factor in aquaplaning resistance so cannot compare new vs old tires as the aquaplaning resistance will degrade overtime.

Even with P3ST is still not so bad for your car (even though maybe not the best decision given the budget since you can opt for UHP tires at cheaper price like the Hankook V12E2). Yes I've also seen way too many expensive cars yet on crap tires, either for 2 reasons: they know but simply don't care coz they only care about showing off with their fancy cars and nobody will notice the shit tires they have, or they really don't know good vs crap tires hence just follow whatever the nearest shops throw at them which is still somewhat more understandable even though still rather foolish.

Did I call out anyone in particular and call them names in my post above??? If anyone is offended with what I said then it's their problem coz I know what I said above was true. I actually only reemphasize what the other forummer mentioned before me if you read above. I never said the V12E2 is the absolute best forever either and I always say 'at the moment, or as of now' or something along that line. If you've been reading some of my posts here, even when the FK510 released or about to reach here, I also already mentioned about this tire to be another excellent candidate, so I know tires will progress and there will be newer and better ones. Instead of calling names, didn't I also applaud the forummer above for using PS4 on his old car? I also never forced anyone to buy stuff of my suggestions anyway and I just gave my logical reasoning. It's up to them how they take what I said. If they can give better logical reasoning for their choices or views then fine by me too but if they cannot but they take it the wrong way then well that's their problem too. You need to read carefully what I said before trying to "keep me in check". So sorry bro I appreciate what you're trying to do but I think you misunderstood me so no thanks, I don't need that from you or anyone.

Sure bro, thx.

Too cheap to be true. ☺️ Must be some unknown/low end brand.

Most will but depends on tire condition.

Continental CSC6 or Goodyear F1 Super Sport.
If want cheaper alternatives then can try Continental Extreme Contact Sport.

Usually not as good as the other top brands.

Yes good price if for PS3.

I think not yet, need to wait coz this is still very new model. Not sure if any independent importers already importing it.

Better get Falken Azenis FK510.

Tread wear rating is 300, similar to most UHP.

Pirelli Dragon Sport

Too small. Get 195/55/15 instead. Ps3 is an excellent choice but got much cheaper option which is just as good, Hankook V12E2.

V12E2 rm165/PC around Klang Valley.
PS3 I think around 200-220/PC.
