Thanks for the review on the Continental UC6. Unfortunately I do not have experience with the Bridgestone Turanza ER33 so I won't be able to derive any meaningful conclusion from your experience with the UC6. However, from the professional reviews the UC6 should be a good all-rounder with combine performance, comfort and quietness.

The next tyres for my car will be either the Continental UC6 or Goodyear Assurance Triplemax, whichever is available and/or cheaper.

Drove most of the tyre u mentioned due to I'm owner of used car dealers. Myself have been very sensitive in choosing replacement tyres as it will slightly affect customer perceptions toward the car I'm selling.

From the list up there, I will say CPC2 (sorry never try cpc5) is among the best. But it's kinda hard to get out there. CPC5 may or may not do better but CPC series are the best for conti range.

Myself is a fan for MC5 as MC5 have round side edge which greatly improved how a car handle the road and tackle cornering, wet grip/aquaplanning is quite good. Stops very fast during rainy days. Driving fast (180km/h) tend to feel floaty than CPC2. Price are cheaper than CPC2 so MC5 definitely my choice.

UC6, drove for only 1 month in a trade in unit Toyota Camry. Wet grip is commendable, wet braking is OK. Dry grip nt even on par with MC5 and handling nt as good as car steering feels 'harder'. Overall for the small cost different I'll still strongly recommend MC5, MC6 had been launched but I have not try.

CC6, please, other than the noise-proof is commendable, it handle badly and 'wet grip' is totally unknown to CC6. U wouldn't believe u are using a Continental Tire with CC6, avoid at all cost.

Goodyear TripleMax, overall balance tire. Handling nt as good as MC5, wet grip / wet braking / aquaplanning about the range of MC5 and above UC6 (maybe due to car model too).

So depends on what car u driving. Of cus, driven PS3 and PS4 and I can say those are the best out there. Just please avoid CC6 at all cost.

Thanks for the post. Good and useful information.

In summary, the overall ranking for handling and performance is as follows:-

1st : Michelin PS3 and PS4 (which was acknowledged by most here, though these are not in consideration as they are not only noisier and costlier than the rest of the more balanced-orientated tyres which combine handling and comfort and most importantly, my driving patterns are not overly enthusiastic and I am not driving a sports car)

2nd : Continental MC5

3rd : Continental CPC2 / Goodyear Triplemax

4th : Continental UC6

5th : Continental CC6 - not recommended due to poor handling

is not fair to compare cc6 with those ps3/4, mc5,cpc2,uc6.
cc6 is entry level tyre.
if we wan to avoid cc6 at all cost, you know how many on the road car is using cc5/6 or entry level tyre? lol

we should compare cc6 vs xm2 vs ep300...

if you rank it with price, then the 1st rank should be cc6.

Triplemax has pro and cons...it cannot cut water puddle well....but the breaking distance is really good...handling also better than CC6

Trying out these tires now. Previous tires were MC5.

GE seem quieter & more comfortable. Above 150kmh,these is slight instability compared to MC5.

Overall, good tyres for normal driving.

What is the current price for the Michelin Primacy 3ST for 205/60 R16? Don't think we can go wrong with any of these tyres, whether it is Michelin Primacy 3ST, Goodyear Assurance Triplemax or Continental UC6. No doubt there will be some differences between the tyres but at the end of the day when they are fixed on the tyres and driven on the road, you differences won't matter too much anymore unless one aspect of the tyres is severely compromised, for example excessive noise or excessive skidding on wet roads etc. which I doubt will be the case with all these competent mid-range tyres which usually offer decent level of performance at all levels. In the end, the price may be the determining factor when selecting any of these tyres, unless the price difference is too close between the brands, say RM5-10 difference per tyre.

It's my stock tyre for Honda City. Not recommended due to the Grip not as good as advertised. My car feels like fled when I drove up to 140km/h.
Change to Turanza ER300 after 40k, the car no fled anymore but very noisy.
Going to change Goodyear Triplemax 2 soon.
