Hi, right now im using stock tires Silverstone (195/55/r15), im deciding between Potenza re003 (RM230) and Hankook v12 evo2 (RM190). I travel Kedah-Johor every 3 months. Which would be a better choice?
*
Potenza will wear faster than v12
So if you want them to last longer then I suggest going for the hankooks

My car requires size of 235 45 18. I prefer the Hankook v12 as it got good reviews on net. However it doesn’t have my size of 235.
Currently on factory given ps3, ride it around 89k km. List options are ps4 (a bit expensive), ps3, conti mc6 (brand new model) might have a try on mc6, cause it cheaper around 200+ per donut.
Is mc6 is recommended?
*
Yes unfortunately V12E2 or even S1E2 do not have for 235/45/18.

MC6 is still unknown if really good as claimed by Continental Malaysia, no true comparison yet with other top tires like PS3/4, F1A2/3, etc2. So I can say it's still unproven.

Huh your PS3 lasts until 89k km??? You must be a pretty slow and steady driver ya? smile.gif Then just buy PS3 again if really cannot afford PS4 (which I think you still CAN!) Other choice can be the Goodyear F1A3 but I doubt it's cheaper than PS4 coz it's still made in Germany. For what car btw, new Accord 2.4?

V12E2 is better coz it lasts longer (tread wear rating 320), more well balanced for dry & wet (wet traction rating AA), and more proven globally against other top tires like PS4/F1A3/P Zero etc2. RE003 will wear out sooner (TW only 220), and more focused on dry grip (wet traction rating only A even though dry grip is excellent), plus it's more expensive than V12E2! I'm using the V12E2 now on my wife's car and absolutely happy with them.

Not really a UHP tire and not good performance, read the review below from Tire Review UK:

"Positive: Short braking distance in the wet and dry
Negative: Handling not good enough in the dry. Very weak aquaplaning resistance.
Overall: The Landsail LS588 UHP were surprisingly unbalanced. Braking in the wet was excellent, but handling very unstable. In addition, the tyre copes worse than the others with emergency manoeuvres and is quite susceptible to aquaplaning. On dry pavement they again quickly stopped the car, but had very slow response to steering. Lateral grip and stability are too weak for the optimal performance of a sharp manoeuvre at high speed. Because of their softness they demonstrated a high level of comfort, effectively absorbing road irregularities."

This review is based on the author. They test based on hardcore driving experience but for the average drivers it should be pretty good then premium tyres ( unless u go for track racing and wack corners frequently) considering the price and review based on the actual drivers on the link above, should give it a try. There are no actual drivers here who had them on so I'm gonna try it out myself and share some feedback. Plus it should be good for our shitty roads as describe by the author themself. I also saw a BMW forum some beemers are quite satisfied with it!

Those tests were done by people who has the proper skill and equipment to evaluate tires, not just some random blokes who do not have much idea, experience nor the necessary driving skill to compare and evaluate. You see, people can say they just drive normally but when on emergency situations or even in heavy rain downpour which often happens in Malaysia, you WILL be forced to extract the limit of the tires, hence if you use shit tires like this then you can guess yourself the chances that you will have (especially this tire since it's already mentioned that it's very unstable in wet conditions with very weak aquaplaning resistance!). smile.gif Tires is also the easiest and the most improvement that you can make to your car's handling behavior or vice versa, so the crappier the tires the worse the car handling will be so ask yourself, do you really want to purposely worsen the handling capability of your car just to save a few bucks? Do you want to risk yourself in heavy rain condition by using this shit tire? But anyway suite yourself, we can only recommend what we think it's the best for your safety and the safety of others as well but the risk is on your own. smile.gif What size are you using btw??

On what car are these?? See, if you cannot afford properly good tires for your rim size, don't use such big rims in the first place! Use big rims for what, showing off only?? doh.gif Even if you think the width provide extra grip but in fact better tires at smaller sizes may still outperform shit wide tires at the limit, especially their controllability. Note also wider tires will be easier to aquaplane, hence now you're thinking to use tires which is already noted as having shit aquaplaning resistance too at such wide sizes, so go figure how they will perform in the wet! laugh.gif Actually IMHO shit tires like this is only suitable for people who has mad driving skills with lighting reflexes and very high sensitivity to sense the tires at the limit, in other words a professional/race driver. Normal drivers like us need better tires to compensate for our normal driving skill to keep us safer. So unless you're a pro driver, better avoid shit tires like this!

Pro drivers are "pro" on those familiar tracks or those specific section of road only under controlled environment. Can't be pro at everywhere and every time.

review from users at tyresreview UK :-

After reading these positive reviews i gave landsail a chance on my rear wheel drive remapped bmw(rear axle). I must say honestly that they are briliant! Finaly got confident back after previously tried other cheap tyres which was dangerous especialy on wet road! 588's are "glued" to wet roads, no more unwanted roundabout drifts 😉! And they ar e much cheaper than premium brands with the same performance.

P/s : if u haven't tried its no point commenting how shitty it is also. Most tyre shops speaks good about it saying according to their customers. Most people are just stuck at premium tyres and saying how bad about other tyres are without trying them on

Still pro drivers do have more skill than average drivers, no denying there so when they are faced with emergency situations they have better reaction and response on how to control the car, for example handling the car in a skid or emergency braking. Then there's the level of mentality, pro drivers will be calmer in such situations as they have experienced it many times before, while average drivers tend to panic and react often wrongly. They are also more sensitive on how the car behaves especially approaching and past the limit as they have done it countless times. So yeah, even in normal roads their skill and experience will still give them advantage to handle critical situations.

Normal people who review cannot be taken too seriously because as I said most likely they don't have the skill and the equipment to do a proper assessment, and their experience with various different tires are still comparatively much more limited to the pro reviewers. It's like if you're used to using a low end/slow phone/computer, then when asked about another slow laggy computer then you will say it's still not bad, but if you already tried the good ones then now you know how crappy the crap ones are! laugh.gif Same with cars & tires, if you haven't tried good tires, then you may not have the idea how good it should be, so the shit one you think are still ok.

Shops of course will speak good things la, they will try to sell to make money what! brows.gif So you want to believe everything shops tell you? We as customers must be smarter than that!

I personally would not try crap tires like that, coz I value myself better than just the price difference of such cheapo tires vs the good ones. I also enjoy driving and having decent handling or at least to maximize the handling capability of my car, so no I would not risk worsening it! I actually had tried low end cheaper tires before even though not as cheap as this Landsail, for example a low/mid range model of GT Radial, low end models of Goodyear/Bridgestone/Continental and even those were already shit! sweat.gif So trying even lower ones like this Landsail or other China tires?? Thanks, but no thanks! laugh.gif

Anyway it's up to you, none of my business coz it's your money, your car, your life. I just give recommendation based on what I think is the best way, up to everyone to take or not, I don't really care actually. smile.gif

Calm down no need to get heated up over a debate biggrin.gif review from reputable tyre shops like tyres pro also speaks highly about landsail. They have a variety of premium tyres but I said was in a budget range then he highly recommend this brand. People from BMW club who uses high end premium tyres also said its not a bad tyre after they tried it unlike u who haven't tried it yet wink.gif

Who says I'm heated up? I'm as calm as ice here and I keep smiling right? laugh.gif

As I said, if shops, no matter what they only think about profit! Of course they will say good things about products that they carry ma! Where got shops who have some products and then tell you they are shit??? laugh.gif

People in BMW club can be anybody, who knows what! The only thing sure about these people are they definitely have money but that doesn't say anything about how good they are when comes to evaluating tires properly. Reputable media on the other hand do have such experience as they have done it many times over. So who do you trust, a nobody just because they own BMW or belonging in some BMW clubs, or people who really know what they are doing and even actually live by doing such reports??? Common sense should prevail there.

As for myself, as I said I have tried lower end tires before which are still more reputable than this Landsail and yet they're already shit, why on earth should I go even lower to try even shittier ones??? It's like you already tried some crappy food and yet you want to try those even lesser ones just for the sake of trying?? C'mon dude, again common sense shall prevail!

Anyway I think you've made up your mind so no matter what anybody said here, it will never change your mind coz you just want to buy cheapo tires, either because you're a cheap skate or you just really cannot afford properly good tires since you've gone with too big rims without thinking of the consequences! (You know better which one are you). So I'm not gonna waste more time trying to convince you otherwise as it's also none of my business, so help yourself. smile.gif
