hankook now increased price by a lot, prime 3 (k125) is the replacement for v12 evo2, it cost around 300-330 per donut for 225/45/17, S1 evo3 (K127) is UHP around RM50 per donut more expensive than prime 3

last year i still managed to get prime 3 at rm275 per donut for 225/40/18, now is like RM350-380

unless you willing to try china, thailand or indonesia tyres, which you can still get them at cheap price, most of the mainstream brand price increased a lot lately

you can look for Westlake SA37 or rovelo A1 sport, but i have not tried these tyres before, but westlake review seems not bad, rovelo A1 is like prime 3, as long as you not high power car should be okay to use

I'd recommend Maxxis Victra I-Pro, price level similar to V12E2, performance also similar with harder sidewall but tread wear is rather low at only 240. I am using this now as replacement for the V12E2 on my son's car.

If he (flyingturtle77) is driving spiritedly I would not recommend Rovelo Sport A1. This Soprt A1 has really squishy/soft sidewall, despite trying to project itself as an UHP tyre. As a result one can feel the car becoming abit nervous at highway speed as it produced a lot of lateral movements when it roll over undulations on road. As compared to the P3ST that it replaced, it is only slightly noisier. Have not tested on dry/wet braking as this set of 4 Rovelo is on a family mover. Price wise, it was the among the cheapest I can find; rm250/pc for 225/55R17 with XL rating, as compared to 580/pc for P4. As this is a weekend car and doing low mileage, I thought might as well try this Rovelo out. Result for now? OK OK la.

You mean the V12E2? Around 40+k km for me.

For a UHP? Sounds about right.

Also depends on the car, heavier car, faster wear.

I go through PS3s in about 30k-40k ..even on a 950kg Satria.

Wait till you deal with motorcycle sport tyres.....hahahaha..I can go through 2 or 3 rears in a year.
