u rank it already haha...
PS3 is not a direct replacement of PS2, Pilot Super Sport is the replacement but only available at 17" and above...

oh ok..what a coincident

I'm looking for 205/50/16 tyres with budget of around rm300 per piece. What are my options?

PP2 has been discontinued in year 2010, replaced with the PS3. Even without the new PSS, the PS2 still out ranks the PS3 in performance and grip. Using your list, the ranking should be:-

PS2
PS3
Premacy LC
XM1 Energy

yeah, went to some tire shop the price of PS2 is still > PS3

use michelin ok...not micchilicin...hehe..

Currently driving Chevrolet Optra and planning to change tires.
Currently using Michelin PP2 195/55/15. Any suggestion wad tires to get? Preferably low noise + comfort.

i have just replaced my CC5 with PS3. I am very excited to try it out on twisty roads but for now, the only corner i can test is those nearby here and due to the volume of road users and road condition, i cannot determine how well PS3 is under heavy cornering.

But as for now, PS3 is definitely more grippy than the CC5 (duh).
The corners which I use to slide through with tyres screeching away is now quite tame already

that size is a lil limited... u can try Falken 912 or Kumho ESPT...

comfort + quiet... PS3 will be better in comfort and grip as it is a replacing PP2... then if you want total comfort then Michelin Primacy LC... or even Toyo Teo Plus & CT01, duno u still can find this or not... C Drive 2 is the new arrival but C Drive also not bad...

muahaha... CC5 u can't compare a intermediate with a pro... CC5 is just for normal driving, spirited driving is not suitable for this tires... let it scrub a bit, after some time you will be smiling at the grip u gain...

thanks for ur reply. But wad about the price range of these tires?

above RM200 below RM280...
hard to tell see what do you need... real comfort and quietness??? if yes then Primacy LC, C Drive, Toyo Teo Plus and CT01 is good for you...

juz tried my PS3 at a curvy roundabout..riding at about 100km/h and it grip effortlessly! feels like it cud do a 120km/h but i ran out of road..lol

I don't know how much u manage to do it or maybe the curvy roundabout is not the kind of roundabout that i'm imagining? Logically speaking, the roundabout here, the max speed allowable is probably 80km/h? even then, i'm expecting all four wheels to lose traction by then.

well just give it a few more days for break-in... after that it's grip will be slightly better... not sure if it works for you but it is a good all-rounder tyres... if not u should be GSD3 already or even up 1 level to extreme tires, but extreme tires will not gives you the grip u need during wet...

haha....yeah, things are looking on the bright side for this ps3. This is after all, my first performance tyres and i am going to try out potenza the next round

haha... potenza is better in handling, but i don like being too hard... i like a lil comfort in my ride... well try out then see... PP2 ppl say too hard then now PS3 the successor is out, ppl say too soft then... ppl is hard to please but up to now it is the best all rounder i get... might try out RE001 next round...

im driving a 5series thus i dun feel a thing. prolly fairer if test it on a proton

remember do let them to run-in 1st... after 500km it should give you better grip...

The tyre size matters in this case. It doesn't mean no one has ever crashed in a Ferrari

what i meant is my car have DSC (Dynamic Stability Control). it will automatically brakes and release torque from individual tires to prevent slipping. hence it is not so accurate to test the tires. heck i cud even turn it off but still the RWD made the car weight ratio almost 50:50 thus my test result might not be applicable to all the bros here
