really? but my brother using uc6, he said uc6 is performs well on wet road especially short distance braking, somemore i heard conti tyres made from germany technology and usually they have done safety test before selling their product, so i dun think they would hv any safety problem.
Using UC6 for 5000km. So far pretty good experience. No hydroplaning or wheel spin on wet road. With less pressure, there is less pull when driving through puddles of water. But could be different speed or softer tyre absorbing the impact.
PS4 or PS4S is type from michelin tyre? how is the quality?
Let's just put it this way: those are some of the best if not the best tire money can buy! So if got budget, then by all means just buy those! PS4 is available down to 16' while PS4S is only 19' upwards.
Its actually depends on how your driving your car when on the road. Im using UC6 . Is more better than others brand that im using. So far im using UC6 dont have any problems and also i can control my tires very well especially when on the wet road. Hehe.
That means you have never used better tires before, and that's why you feel the UC is good enough already but comparatively, it's just the 2nd lowest line up from Continental so yeah, like that lor. What size are you using though? Good tires often limited by sizes.

I bet conti premium contact series is much better than UC6 even old model CPC2
Yeah, CPC is 2 level up from UC. Even MC would be better than UC.
Yea for performance u would go for MC as it would be averagely priced. But if you value comfort / nvh, probably find something else. UC would be good for comfort/ nvh but performance looks like lesser.
End of the day, depend on your driving, if drive highway, no jam and relatively fast then get performance. If stuck in jam in kl every morning and evening, u get PS4 or perelli also wasted.

99.9% of drivers don't even know how the car is like at limit, let alone actually knowing the limits of the tyre.
So even highway driving, normal CC range can do well enough circa below 150km/h. So for these drivers, only when absolute real emergency only can see the tyre performance difference.

Question is, would you know exactly or predict when you are going to be in an absolute real emergency situations?? Watch a couple of videos I just posted in the other thread about best tires.

Another question is, whether the driver knows how to handle the car in emergency? If frozen (which most of us happen to), even pilot sport cup can't help the driver out of emergency....
Actually, more critical is driver awareness, and a good to pick up skill, defensive driving.
But being humans, vanity strikes us and we err towards the best performance that we can afford (sometimes can't afford). I admit sometimes i'm like this when it comes to purchases
An example would be the smartphone, many have top range phone but among them, who actually uses more than 50% of the features?

The less skilled the driver, actually the more important a good tires would be! A pro driver is very well trained to handle the car behavior when reaching and over the limit but normal drivers are not. Hence more pro drivers might still get away with driving lesser tires but normal driver are not!

I think a better way of saying would be good tyres gives larger margin for idiocy than lower performing tyres. But yeah, you have a point too.

Well I'm not going to go as far as calling it idiocy coz sometimes it can be just an unfortunate event, which better tires might give more margin to escape or at least lessen the damage.
Had a torn sidewall on my v12evo2 for almost a year. Can see a few strands of metal reinforcing threads start to rust, surprising that the tyre still held up till recently.
Was in singapore, randomly chanced upon a deal in carousell website, SGD100 for a used pair (inclusive installation and balancing). Heck, although i think the hankook can still hold up despite of the tear, just don't want to take the risk anymore.
Despite being 40% worn, the leftover threads are still darn thick, almost as thick as a new v12evo2. No wonder some test say cpc6 has good wear rates.
Also at the workshop, played around with the new goodyear F1A5. The meat is even thicker. For the price, performance and longevity, F1A5 is not cheaper but a better overall value for those staying in johor. Was surprised at the pricing, the workshop people told me that goodyear now market F1 asymmetric series as lower rank, to make space for supersport series.

So how is the CPC6?
I am waiting for the F1SS, hopefully available here in 17 for my Evo.

I'm not sure because i fixed it at the rear, the tyre pitch noise is different, not so much higher pitch roar, but difference not that apparent. Maybe i'll know the wet/cornering performance after i opt for rotation to the front in a few months time when i replace the front bushings. My torn v12evo2 was at the back so change that pair first. The front pair got enough tread to last till end of this year. Not sure whether got better sidewall reinforcement compared to v12ev02, no lip for rim protection, and pretty soft to the fingers when pressed on the sidewall.
But the cpc6 tread is pretty deep, i estimate can last at least minimum 30k km despite being partially worn. There's also indicator for optimum wet performance, meaning got 2 tier tread wear indicator. I guess why it was sold so cheap because partially it was more than 3 years old (my own v12evo2 is 1 year newer) and a not too small puncture. Pretty recent patch as the rubber noodles still pretty sticky. But still a great value for me.
Singapore has lots of goodyear promotions. For my tyre size F1A5 and F1SS pricing SGD20 difference only....if you happen to come singapore holiday, whip up carousell website/app to search for tyre deals

Sgd20 is very small difference. I'd take the SS if like that. Won't travel anywhere until this Corona thing subsides.
