I have been surveying the right tyres for my car for the past few months. Due to the size, the options are limited if priorities are more toward handling and all-rounder. I understand it may be difficult to have someone compare all the tyres as mentioned below. However, if there is anyone who has compared any 2 of these tyres (or more), I would appreciate your experience.

The shortlisted tyres in chronological order from most preferred to less preferred

Goodyear Assurance Triplemax
Continental Ultracontact UC6
Continental ComfortContact CC6
Continental ContiPremiumContact 5
Continental ContiMaxContact MC5

I have done a bit of survey on some of the Continental tyres and it's almost impossible to individually rate these tyres. From Continental website, the CPC5 and MC5 are said to be good in handling. On other car forums, the CPC5 was said to be cheap and poor quality while the MC5 was said to be great in handling but only in the first 10,000 km before the performance deteriorates quickly with the tyres showing screeching. In summary, both MC5 and CPC5 were not really recommended by those who tried.

The UC6 and CC6 are rather new tyres. UC6 is more toward handling and CC6 more toward comfort and quietness. So far initial reviews from current users especially the UC6 were encouraging.

The Goodyear Assurance Triplemax was proven to be an all-rounder tyre with above average handling for this range. Currently it's my most preferred tyre since having owned the predecessor (Assurance Fuelmax), I can attest to the handling characteristics of tyre. The steering is sharp with the tyre and cornering feels stable and solid.

If there is anyone has compared the Goodyear Assurance Triplemax to the Continental UC6 I would appreciate your thoughts.

Thanks for the response. That's interesting.

I read about the new Continental CPC6 few days ago and it appears that this tyre is not launched in Malaysia yet. Perhaps we will see this tyre next year. The reviews of the CPC6 have been quite stellar as this tyre seems to have the best blend between comfort and performance. Price may be more toward premium.

Think it will be down to Goodyear Assurance Triplemax and Continental CPC6. I would expect the CPC6 to be costlier than the Triplemax. Will see how the CPC6 will perform when it is launched later since my current tyres still look rather good and have some life in them.

I personally not fond of Conti due to CC5. I am using Triplemax. Good all around tires, stronger sidewalls and better handling for average family cars.
Im not sure if Conti change better quality since the 6 series was newly introduced. End of the day, just see how much it cost, whatever is on sale just change to that.

But what to do the quietness is something unbeatable at their price. Anyway for my 15" rims n a budget of RM210. I rather pay for a Triplemax.

Malaysia ask we all to use CC6/UC6 good enough.
CPC series only have CPC2 and limited size.
CPC5 launching few year ago and now oledi CPC6, never see local conti has any intention to bring in or production.
so sad.

Malaysia never bring in CPC5 also.

May i know which shop selling it?
