215/45R18
Currently using stock Toyo T1 Proxes, damn noisy. But got to admit the performance is superb imo.

Im willing to sacrifice grip for quiet tyres. Any recommendation? Maybe need to change to 225/40R18 or 225/45R18.

Changed mine from Pirellis to Michelin 3ST 245/45R18. Shockingly quiet, but its also more comfort oriented (read: soft). Handling performance not as good as say PS3s but I'd say still fantastic.

Why your persona on 65 profile tyre? isn't the speedometer will be way-off?
standard persona comes with 195/60/r15 while gen2 has a few variant 195/60/r15, 195/55/r15, and 185/60/r15 for 1.3

I think should be 195/60/15 for your persona (old model)

Anyway, tire choices are

Michelin XM2 thumbsup.gif
Continental CC6
Bridgestone Ecopia EP200
Goodyear NCT5
Dunlop LM704/J5

Hi any idea about PS3 and Bridgestone potenza ?
Xm2 seems to have mixed reviews on its pros and cons.

About cc6, is it prone to punture? Since I heard is a softer compound

Time flies so does my tire's tread... bangwall.gif Currently using Toyo Proxes T1R 225/40/18, very satisfy with its performance on both wet and dry tarmac also gives excellent grip in fast corners. The down part is the noise level will get louder after 30% usage onwards... I think wouldn't be much an irritation for newer cars nowadays. Tread wear is more lasting than Yoko S-Drive. Overall my choice that time for RM500-ish tire are T1R>S-Drive>RE002.

As said times comes for new rubber again but financial aren't getting any better as our currency is. cry.gif So eventually gotta look for other alternative and saw Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2 has some quite positive reviews and was hoping if anyone had used this tire before to share their review with me.

Thanks & Cheers! smile.gif

Based on reviews I read in Europe, this S1 Evo 2 is pretty good and should be way better than your T1R! T1R is actually considered rather weak for UHP level tires, plus already very old model too. So since you find T1R is already very good for you then I would think the S1 Evo 2 should exceed your expectation already.

This is the latest test result involving the S1 Evo 2 and it came out 2nd overall to the winner CSC6, and beating many other top brands like Dunlop Sportmaxx, Pirelli P Zero, and Goodyear F1A3!

Sweet! With that said, I'll go with the S1 Evo2 for this round consider price is like RM100+ cheaper per pc compared to T1R and doubled to PS4. thumbup.gif Hope this "kimchi" tires live up to its expectations. biggrin.gif

Thanks bro 6UE5T for your wonderful feedback! notworthy.gif

No problem, hope it lives up to your expectation though, and do let us know your review after you try it. Coz this is also one of the tires I'm considering to try once my CSC5 is finished. However in case it disappoints you, please do tell us also, and don't blame me ya coz I'm just telling you based on what I read so far. laugh.gif

Maybe but maybe not also. Coz in the 2016 Autoexpress review, PS4 did top the chart BUT if you look closely of the comparison chart, it only did so due to much better rolling resistance than the older CSC5 plus a little bit shorter braking on dry & wet but on other performance criteria on average the CSC5 still edges PS4 a bit. I'd say if reading that review, PS4 & CSC5 is still just about equal, can swing either way depending on preference and test condition. So now if compared to the newer CSC6, I'm not too sure, and by right CSC6 would be clearly better than CSC5 should be compared to PS4S which are both playing at the same big sizes only (19' above).
