hmm ya i agree with u..i quite like the current PS3..i am amazed tat the grip and aqua planing is still good despite the tyres will b due soon..i can still comfortably cruise at 140-160km/h (110-120 in the rain) without being too noisy, tackle highway u-turn exit at 80km/h, going through puddles...during hard-braking they performed quite well too..the onli bad point is the price..anyway advan fleva and f1d5 will b in my shorlisted candidates for the next tyre change

i have one problem though..where the heck am i going to find yokohama dealers in penang..googled but not clearly stated if the handful of shops have them or not..1/2 confirm got but distance is quite far for me..haizzz

Hi, for size 205/55/16, Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance also good or Dunlop BlueResponse (If both avail in Malaysia). They are more in comfort and less noise. Performance wise also good. Otherwise PS3 shall be the one to go for if no budget constraint.

Any recommendations for alza ? Need quiet and safe wet driving. I read about Toyo ne3. Mixed reviews. Most good review did state that they are made in Japan. But Toyo acquired Silverstone factory recently right? I'm planning to get 195/55/15. Am planning to get xm2 but some forumers did say it is not good in wet driving. Currently using stock Silverstone, actually it's good and durable, just that it is brick bumpy and noisy.

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.

You are driving mazda 3 also right? Think ive seen you in m3 thread. So which tyre are you using now? I get in average 80-83 dB using the toyo T1 tires doing 100kmh

So far i have options ps3, bridgestone gr100, yoko advan fleva, and goodyear f1 asymmetric 3.

Am currently using GY Assurance Triple Max 225 45 R17,
Please suggest something similar or better grade, complete whole set

These are all UHP, wallet empty later...any lower end compare to these

Time flies so does my tire's tread... 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. 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!

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. Hope this "kimchi" tires live up to its expectations.

Thanks bro 6UE5T for your wonderful feedback!

PS4 not in competition haha due to no size.. If not I think will top the chart again

...
The maximum I can let you squeeze for PS3 is 45 - 50K, usually there are around 30 - 40K kms
Potenza RE003 is slightly faster to finish, I would say 20 - 35K kms..

XM2 can past the 50K kms mark, some even until 70K kms.

hi ,

usually one normal good year tyre can use how long ?? mine is just 2 years and it seem almost time to change again ..

Guys I am quoted rm 600 a piece for ps3 and goodyear f1 d5. Size is 225/45/18...which one is more worthy

Used to drive the Bridgestone ER60, grip was fine, aquaplaning not so much of an issue.

Then I switched to XM2, and was rather disappointed. Wheels would lock up quite easily compared to the ER60, but I guess it lasts long...? Not sure if the added risk for accidents is worth the savings though.

Now I'm on Pirelli P7. In terms of grip they are fine, and when pushing them to the limit you can feel them reach it nicely, good feedback (amongst the tyres I've driven so far). They aren't doing so well with aquaplaning though, and once the road is wet I can get wheel spin in 3rd. Not ideal. And even though my set is only 4 years old, the rubber is cracked all over the place. Will have to replace them soon, even though there's still enough profile there. I think the compound already got hard, which is surprising.

For my next ones I'm looking towards the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3, or perhaps Michelin Pilot Sport 4, Continental Sport Contact 6 something along those lines. No Pirelli P Zero for me, as it looks like I'm not the only one who has had Pirellis where the compound got hard rather early. I'm surprised by the Hankook results... that sounds rather good, and the price is significantly lower than the CSC6...

Winter tyres I won't mention here, because not really useful in Malaysia.

Ah, explains why I couldn't find them.    Not going to switch to 19"... 

A friend used to have P Zero on his car, then switched to the Hankook that's frequently discussed here, and he's happy (first with an S5, then F-Type R). A friend of his also switched from P Zero to the S1 evo2, and he too is happy (Giulia Quadrifoglio). Then again the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asy 3 are supposed to be great too, and are in a similar price range.

I guess the new P Zero is under also under silent category, majority of the common sizes are under 70dB.

Hi guys, whats the best tyre to replace my stock (195/55r15 Silverstone Synergy M5) tyres on Proton Iriz 1.6 MT? I'm thinking of going for bigger width. is this recommended?

What u guys/girls think about yokohama c drive2 ac02

hi all sifu,

currently was planning to change tyre but the tyre shop recommend Nexen RU5.
anyone has the experience on this tyre?

originally was looking at Michelin Primacy SUV or Latitude. but very less review on it.

How about Achilles Desert Hawk? these 3 brands was suggested because:

1) Achilles = cheapest among 3
2) Nexen = was recommended by tyre shop. And price wise, the moderate.
3) Michelin = i was previous user of Michelin tyre but was on sedan car. Now change to SUV already but not sure how is the performance. This is the most expensive among these 3 brands.

my tyre size is 235/55R18 but Michelin Primacy has only either 235/50R18 or 235/60R18. Anyone tried these size before?

my concern is on safety in term of cornering and wet, quiet and comfort. now normal driving around 110kmh to 140kmh. so far no heavy load.

appreciate on all sifu feedback.

I got phobia with Conti already. Used CC5 previously on sedan, 6 months kaput already. Then, OEM 17" MaxContact 5, noise like hell. Currently 18" wheel also using Conti. Having said that, do u mind to share ur experience on SportContact 5?

Yeah. I just read uder review and many Singaporean also says the same thing. The noise level. But performance is gooding. Do u mind to share what tyre size you are using and how much u bought?
