the more i read about tires (am no auto expert, just a normal car user), am nearing to the conclusion that one can never get:

1. comfortable and quite
2. durable
3. performance (good grip)

it is always a combination of maximum of 2. unless i am wrong?

looking to change my tires tomorrow - 205/55/16 and torn between all reviews. of course, the favorites are:

1. PS3
2. RE003
3. XM2
4. V12 evo2

i know this has been asked numerous times but any recommended shops in subang or neighboring area that stocks them with competitive pricing?

thanks!

so i've changed to PS3 at touch autocare in SS19 subang for RM345 (205/55/r16) which i think is reasonable as i was quoted RM410 in ss14 subang and RM390 at one of the shops in klang. sorry can't recall the shops name as i randomly called them up.

price is exclusive valve and GST.

product review: so far it is quiet and grip is good when cornering when dry. but i find it a bit stiff. probably need getting use to.

That's because PERFORMANCE doesn't mix well with DURABILITY....

There’s no tyre that excel in all categories/conditions….  Tyre Manufacturer would claims that they have such tyre but in reality… it’s a difference story. The main reason for this… road surface condition & climate

As a consumer.... ask yourself these question instead

1) what kind of performance are you looking for? dry or wet...
2) what is your tolerance level when it comes to performance?
3) durability.... how long do you expect the tyre to last (min.)
4) what is your tolerance level when it comes to tyre noise?
5) what is your tolerance level when it comes to ride comfort?

By the way.... you missed out PRICE in your list above tongue.gif

with that... it comes to your final question.....

6) How much are you willing to spend on your tyre?

agreed. And if u refer above, i've decided and bought the ps3.
