Hi All

I really wanted to get the primacy 4 for my 2022 Iriz, but since I intend to keep the OEM rims I'd like the tyre to be 185/60 R15. Problem is primacy 4 doesn't come with 185s I believe. There's also the possibility of facing higher fuel consumption if I go for 195s.

Are there any other tyres that can fit the size and still be close in performance to the primacy 4? I appreciate the comfort and low noise but I'd like to still keep high wet grip (so I feel I should avoid CC6).

what is your price range? we need to know first.

for cheap and good UHP : Maxxis Vitra I Pro ( currently using this for Front and PS3 for the rear )

i believe UC7 is available for your size.

Maxxis Vitra IPro is not yet consider as UHP, is one level lower under high Performance tire.

welpt, Traction AA < considered UHP for me.. well, the price i get for 195/55R15 is only 157 and yet dry grip comparable to PS3.. so there's that

Traction on tires is not for performance rated but more towards wet braking/skid performance on straight. Go research on how they rate the grades under UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grading)
FYI, latest Michelin PS5 Traction rating only single A (PS4 still got AA) but still listed under UHP or Max Performance range tires.

Previously there is a grading why certain tires are listed in those category after evaluating like Wet/Dry cornering, braking, rolling resistant, wear, speed ratings, value etc.  If not mistaken iPro weakness is due to high wear, it fell short and it is also very old model (if not mistaken available since 2010) thus they sell it at a value to contra the weakness.

PS5 single A? wokeh.. however the respond for PS5 traction is good.. weird.. nvm ba, old model but still goodies for cheapskate like me xD
