Well I recently changed to Assurance TripleMax. Its abit more expensive than CC6. But I find them to be more grippy than my old CC5. WET and DRY are geat. Rolling resistance is higher, so better grip.

assurance isn't in the same class as conti CC. efficientgrip is. i think assurance is more or less similar to conti UC6 instead.

Probably right. CC quality really more on eco n comfort. Seriously it is Conti UC6? I thought the price more or less comparable with conti MC. Oh well, i prefer Goodyear than soft compound tires like Dunlop/Conti. I have never tried other brands yet.

its hard to compare by price. for example in the same category, michelin primacy st is also comfort and quiet category but priced at premium.

conti MC5, i dont know it falls in which category. it's not comfort nor quiet but yet not high performance maybe it is just normal touring tayar.

i like goodyear efficientgrip. silent comparable to CC but previously i used was made in china so the goodyear tayar got bulging on the sidewall.

HAHAHA that is what i thought of MC5, its not here or there. Sigh, my rims are only 15" got no chance of trying out Efficientgrip.

Yeah have to compare more apple-to-apple category. For my experience, I've used Goodyear F1D5 which is a UHP tire and after that I replace with Conti CSC5 which is also UHP. Both tires are very good but the CSC5 is superior.

hello TS, i'm also looking for GY Assurance Triple Maxx 195/60/15 tyre, how much did you change it and where? thanks!

I got it during RAYA promo. A pair rm410 at Hup Shun Ss3 PJ. Im not sure if the price still same. However else where like Lazada YL auto services, putra heights Subang Jaya. About rm220/pc. Im not sure if its inclusive valve tube.
Both of these shops u can get thru FB.

Bought four pieces of GY Triplemax size 195 50 16, and it was way noisy and lacking grip as compared to the original equip Bridgestone Turanza ER370. The thread after 50% usage started to chip and deteriorated badly. Not recommended.

If its r16. Better go for Premium Luxury tires. Like Efficientgrip, Excellence, Asymmetric F1.
Triplemax is only good for wet grip. So its not most silent. I think the compound n grip for wet braking might make it a bit soft and easy to chip. Anyway r16 have more choices and better tires as well.

thanks man, just called hin leong in klang, they are selling for 195 per piece.

and comes with a price too.

Wow, cheap. If its near and convenient for you, better to buy there. Well r15 are just borderline before it gets expensive.

yeah... that's the problem, will have to travel down there to change.

I don't find the wet grip as good as claimed.

I heard their efficientgrip range is quite good, would love to try my hand on them. Any good recommendation for 235/55/18 suv?

Am on this set of tyres at the moment. Assurance Triple Max is Mid-Tier tyre range. Thus its more expensive than economy Conti Comfort Contact 6.

Performance is definitely better right off the bat. Grips well in corners and gives you more confidence in the wet without/less aqua planning.

CC5 > N8000 > TripleMax.

Wont go back

I am not sure, I see many with Michelin's on the road though. Maybe some other user can help u. My rims are only 15", no chance to try Premium tires.

Bro... ">" means the left/previous is better than the right/latter.
Means CC5 is way better, and TripleMax sucks. Hahaha.

Oops I meant the history of tires I've used!
Sorry if it is misleading hehe

using 16" assurance triplemax for my Honda city . recommended and confident during raining . got it for rm210 at lazada YL AUTO ...

Anyone experience with Goodyear Optilife ?

No, sorry bro.
Only got a fren that use Duraplus on a wira 13" wheels. Becaue doing sales, pick the long lasting tire. Ok ah, got decent grip, easy rolling not too noisy. Good on highway n fuel too. Just caution, dont last min brake dry/wet. Keep safe distance

Thanks for the reply. I need to change tires soon and is looking for options. I am currently using F1D5, very good tires but I am looking for something cheaper as I plan to change car next year, don't want to spend too much for current car.

Optilife looks great if u drive alot. But limited to r15 n r16 size.
On the other hand some users with bigger rims prefer EfficientGrip/Excellence for comfort and balanced performance.

Some ppl just skip n get Conti MC5 or Mich XM2 because its cheap with good performance for average drivers.

If goodyear i suggest Efficentgrip for rims 16" or higher.
But if you drive within speed limits, n comfort is most important, i suggest u try Continental CC6, right now they are the most quiet at a smaller budget, since its their bestseller, on paper they improved a lot compared to CC5. They hv a huge selection of sizes.

I use GY Eagle NCT5 previously but it has proven to be a disappointment to me. Then, I chg to use Conti UC6. Although my wallet has to afford more, but those features has improved such as noise reduction, grip enhancement and comfort improvement

Michelin premium tires are costly but performances stilll so so.. still go for budget tires? Continental premium tires costly as well, but at least its budget tire still satisfied people, thats why you can see many people using it

Have anyone here ever use yokohama c.drive 2? Pls share the experience. Tq

still available in the market?i thought they have stop production for this model.

IMO, Conti ties such as UC6, CC6 and CSC6 etc are quite recommend... UC6 has short baking distance in oth dy and wet, while CC6 is petty silent when driving on the road. Both of them are recommended in low budget, get CSC6 if you prefer premium tires

Im using CC5 and still no idea which model to go for. So far this model still under my satisfaction. CC6 sounds not bad, thanks for sharing

my friend used it before, he said quite okay la, the grip also ok.but after that tire botak he changes to continental, just to try it.but he said after use for 1year he prefers continental than yoko. the grip is better and comfort even in the rainy and wet road.

With the bad condition of our road, this worry free thingy worth considering:

https://www.goodyear.com.my/offer/worry-free-assurance

Yup, agree.

My car, the Ford Focus Mk3 used to come with Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax as stock tyres. IT's the predecessor to this Assurance Triplemax.

The Assurance Fuelmax although an eco tyre offers great performance for its class. The steering with the tyre is sharp and stability during cornering is good to excellent even though it is not a performance tyre like the Michelin PS3 or PS4. When the tyres were due to for replacement, I picked the Yokohama AE50 mainly for its good performance in the wet. Unfortunately, the dry performance of the AE50 cannot match the Assurance Fuelmax. Steering feel with the AE50 is not as sharp as the Fuelmax and cornering with the AE50 feels a bit soft, possibly due to the softer side wall.

I am still waiting for the thread of the AE50 fronts to wear out before I swap them with something else. Though I have to wait for quite some time, perhaps 30,000 to 40,000 km more.

If the Assurance Triplemax offers improved dry performance over the Assurance Fuelmax, I can surely relate to your experience. I understand it's not a performance tyre such as the PS4 but it is very decent in performance especially dry performance even if one is into some enthusiastic driving.

Wow thanks for the feedback and support. Some ppl here keep talking about the best performance tires, while im just happy with just some enthusiastic driving. My car is a family sedan Nissan Almera. I dont see any point in getting expensive tires when its only needed to perform well within speed limit, brakes well in our constantly wet weather.
Im surprised that Yokohama AE50 works better in wet than dry. Yeah just hv to wait till its worn out more before getting new tires.

I'm looking forward to get assurance triplemax as well. My Other choice might be Yokohama bluearth es32. Can I know how's the noice and comfort level for Goodyear assurance fuelmax?

To my ears, noise levels and quietness the Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax and Yokohama Bluearth AE50 are almost the same. Reasonably quiet and not noisy though I have not compared to quieter tyres. In terms of comfort level ie. soaking up road bumps and irregularities on the roads, both tyres are relatively comfortable but the Yokohama's softer rubber provides a slightly more comfortable ride as it soaks up the bumps slightly better. Not really a night and day difference though I surely feel the rubber to be softer. That is one reason why the Yokohama AE50 feels a bit soft during cornering and doesn't have the sharpness in steering control of the Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax.

I am not familiar with the Yokohama Bluearth ES32. Perhaps this is the new replacement of the Bluearth AE50? At any rate, I believe it is down to priorities in selecting the suitable tyres which are mainly down to 2 things which is performance and best value for money. Despite people's description and comparison on various tyres over here, in reality the differences between these tyres can be minute and not that great. In other words, the tyres will still serve the same purpose, to get the car moving on the road. In terms of noise levels or comfort between similar range or quality of tyres, although there may be differences in reality it will be quiet small and negligible once they are on the vehicle. You will forget about the difference after a while.

If one drives within normal speed limits or even if a little enthusiastic on public roads, I believe even the non-performance tyres such as Goodyear Assurance Triplemax or even the slightly inferior Bluearth AE50 will be good enough, unless one is more into fast and furious driving or want to mimic race drives in an F1 circuit or something, then perhaps the Michelin PS4 or extreme performance tyres will be more suitable. However, the vehicle also plays a part. If one is driving a Proton Saga, Nissan Almera or Toyota Altis (just an example), it makes little sense to have high performance tyres on these vehicles as these are just normal passenger vehicles without much handling characteristics or torque and horsepower to go with the sporty tyres. Even in my Ford Focus which has higher than average road handling, in my mind the stock tyres (Goodyear Assurance Fuelmax) are more than decent enough for some enthusiastic drive. In that sense, I believe the Assurance Triplemax will be good enough for most cars on the road UNLESS it's a more performance-orientated car such as Mini Polo or Volkswagen Golf GTI etc. especially drivers who like to tackle cornering like a race champ, then that's a different story.

Yes, as what I have written in my post above. If you are on the Nissan Almera, I believe the Goodyear Assurance Triplemax is more than good enough for your car. It's a waste of money to go with costlier performance tyres such as PS4 or other types. I believe the Triplemax is a good all-round tyre with a balanced attributes of performance, comfort and quietness unlike the more performance type which will be noisier and slightly reduced comfort (harder sidewalls etc.) although handling in both dry and wet may be better.

Found a review on the Goodyear Assurance Triplemax. It looks like the impressions of the reviewer coincide with my experience.

https://www.autofreaks.com/news/first-impre...ance-triplemax/

"I love the fact that it give sort of sporty precision and handling for although it is not a performance tyre. It provides a much sharper steering feedback and the car basically turns where you wanted it to go, but much quicker. I noticed that the overall handling of my Fiesta has improved and it’s a whole lot more fun to drive."

Thanks for the details. Really appreciate that.

Yokohama bluearth Es32 is set to replace Ae01. On paper (EU lable) it looks like es32 has a great improvement over Ae01 . the Tyre was released this year so it not easy to get a solid review just yet.

Seems like many good review on Goodyear assurance triplemax. Maybe should check with the Tyre shop on the price upon next Tyre replacement.

for es32, i only managed to found some chinese media review, this one looks quite good with some data for comparison...
http://www.carstuff.com.tw/car-news/more-t...th-es-es32.html

triple max are good tire , very well balance all rounder

almost 15k on my GY Assurance Triplemax .very satisfied and confident during raining ....using for my Honda City GM6 16" .

With all this good review, will visit my nearest tyre shop to check out the price for my donuts. Hopefully got sto k and can write a review.

Goodyear assurance triplemax now comes with 6 months hazard warranty and 4 years factory defect warranty.

https://www.goodyear.com.my/warranty/worry-free-assurance

Just change my tires to Assurance Triplemax. Still too early to judge but compare to my previous F1D5, Triplemax seems to be quieter but perhaps slightly less grip.

I think F1D5 is more of performance tyre hence better grip than assurance.

I just changed mine. Previously from Michelin Lattitude HP, now using Wrangler Triple Max, i would say the performance almost the same but a lot cheaper. Those surface speed warning bump( don't know what it called) is more quiet if compare with Michelin and road surface i do feel quiter than before.

Update: tried on wet road and i can feel much better grip than Michelin and quiter than before. Definitely a good choice. Not sure if it's still too new or what but the grip on the dry road is too grippy that i worry on my fc, i think it's like few percent higher than previously.

Was offered Goodyear Optilife new model 195/55/15 for rm205 each. Is this replacement model for triplemax?

No. TripleMax is still valid. Optilife is a different one. Essentially this will be less grip than ATM, however this is harder, so it last longer and best for those that want high milage & travel alot.
If you check Lazada. You can get it for rm190/pc. So up to you, if its convenient no harm paying more for your trusted shop.

Alright thanks for the reply. Ordered triplemax on lazada at rm178 each with rm50 discount. Hope to replace my stock tyre soon.

That is a very good deal. Do leave a feedback after 10k km. Or even the shop service review would be good for sharing.

Sure, no problem.

10,000 km in. Assurance TripleMax So far so good. with the heavy rain happening today, it holds quite well. you can easily handle high water, 1inch of water @60kmph. but 90kmph 1 inch is quite dangerous for any tires... you need to hold on. i never had the chance to hard brake. but overall quite good and responsive in normal breaking. the threads start to lose maybe 1-2mm? very minor chipping compared to my old CC5, only one small little corner of the thread, everything else is evenly worn.

poor wet grip, though cheaper.
durability not sure, but my triplemax already hit 50K and still running good, frequently travel from penang to kelantan and back to penang, hillroad.

Don't go by brand. Go by model. One tyre manufacturer can have a very loud and a very quiet tyre in their range. Reviews will help you.

I've got a set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Aymmetric 3 waiting for me... 4 more months before I get to drive them.

Hi, I'm in similar situation. Looking to change off my F1D5 because it's too noisy, after 15k km. Review for the triplemax please?

That's a pity, at 15k km there's still plenty of life in them, at least another 25-30k km.

No idea if it will be quieter than your performance tires... What i can say is ATM1 is very quiet. However the current ATM2 it's louder than ATM1, of course it has improved grip over it's predecessor. Grip wise, i think its comparable with Mich XM2+. Sound maybe Mich XM2+ is slightly less or same loudness. Of course these are premium, long life tires. Dont expect sporty.
You want sporty and comfort quiet... Many say Mich Pilot sport tires, whichever version.

Yeah, way too noisy. Travel on trunk road will end up tired and with some headache. Would you recommend wheel arch soundproof rather than swapping tyres?

Xm2 grip is worse than cc6. Xm2+ is better but by a bit only. Atm2 higher range but similar grip level?

Honestly I don't know coz I never tried any add on insulation at all. I am very tolerant to noise (driving Evo with extreme category AD08R tires now and listening to heavy metal music), so I am the wrong person to ask about noise and insulation. Lol Last time also I used my F1D5 until bald at over 50k km on my Mark X.

CC6 is already shit grip, cannot imagine if worse than that! Lol

Hahahah I old already, not much tolerance left towards noise

Being Michelin branded, it gets away with it.

I am old also, closing on half century. Lol

Young at heart

Wow, I didn't get to try CC6. I used to have CC5, dry was ok... But wet it was really shit. The only tires that is good at wet at that time was ATM1 plus it was quiet as well. That's how I end up using ATM, as my friend was using XM2. It was ok, good but not better than ATM1 at that time. XM2+ the noise level quieter than XM2. According to media post online by a lot of sites,, it seems there is improvement... But hey you are paying extra for XM2+for high milage durability (should last upto 100k km or more) it's bound to be less performance than ATM2 (60k I'm will start to be careful)

I'm still using my ATM2, 10k km in it's going good for me. It grips well when cornering into those clover leaf highway merge/exit. Mind you I'm driving Almera, it's not good in handling.

Atm2 I read somewhere ppl say after some mileage, will have droning noise already..

I don't need durability ones, I swap my tires every 25-35k km

anyone using EfficientGrip Performance 2? Or it is a new tire and haven't reach Malaysia yet?

Been using PS3 / PS4 for the past many years. Those are very good performance tires but a bit noisy, so now looking for alternatives and come across this tire.

Going to replace my atrocious CC5 soon with ATM2. Clocked 40k but still pretty thick. Spirited driving every morning during weekdays.
But less highway for me so maybe that's why it's thick.

Haha same here. I tried so hard to convince myself to use CC5 till its time to change... God the tires suck and chip off corners. I changed it about 40k km too. You will be pleasantly impress with ATM2, its an upgrade from CC5. It's rainy season, ATM2 grips way better in the wet than CC5

Anyone using PS4 before and change to F1 A5? How the performance, noise level, dry/wet result?

This should answer your question:
https://youtu.be/2_utfLrFaOM

Anyone knows what's the equivalent of Primacy 4 for Goodyear?

Assurance Triple Max 2.

But available only in very small sizes :/

Then Goodyear Efficient Grip
