Hi guys,

Currently I'm driving 1st gen Persona
My current XM2 is dying soon. I'm looking for replacement. I'm quite an aggressive cornering/fast driver. I'm looking for something better like ps3 but this tyre doesn't have my size. Any other recommendation?

Thanks

go 55 instead of 60, much better for cornering

get 50 for better handling...
55 for more comfy..
another brand you can consider Bridgestone RE003

anything that's not from silverstone are fine.

Not higher more stable?

I also wonder what's the impact, as go down the price much cheaper.

ok, it is safe to change from stock 60 to 55?
any "side effect"?

Smaller diameter overall, might scrape at taller bumps

i see
michelin primacy 4 and ps3 almost around the same price
which one do u think is better?
probably something balance btwn less noise and performance will be great

how about fleva v701 ? made in japan

u got many choices if u consider range 195/55R15

this looks like good price though

can use 195/55/15 ..more choices of performance tyre at affordable price.

Primacy 4 is for comfort. PS3 is for performance. Primacy 4 should be less noisier than PS3.

I would choose PS3 for the performance since it would not make much of a difference if you take Primacy 4 for the comfort as the 1st gen persona is already a noisy car (high NVH).

Better focus on safety

If you want to use better UHP tires, you cannot get in 60 profile coz all UHP tires are only made up to 55 profile. But if you downsize to 195/55/15, then the sidewall is less by almost 1cm so your car height will drop by about the same and your fender gaps also I increased by the same 1cm which would look ugly. Can still use but not ideal I suppose. Better if you upgrade rims to 16' then use 205/50/16 tires. Other option is use 205/55/15 provided that your rims is at least 6jj wide but this tire size is more difficult to get.

60 you can get xm2, cc6, neo3, j5, silverstone i forget which model

This. Use 195 55 15

Good year assurance triplemax2. Affordable choice. Balanced performance. Mid-range premium

My car also from 195/60R15, are down to 195/55R15 to use the RE003, no regrets!

My other car is still on 195/60R15, on NE-03. Like both of my choices this time.

Try 205, should be able to fit your rim.

I’m on my 3rd set of Toyo NEo3. I liked them. Previously on NCT5 which to me is bull crap. NE3 is much smoother, quieter even after 50k mileage. The grip is good too on rainy days. I chang them at bout 70-80k mileage. Actually can drag till 90-100k.

How much for the NE-03 and RE003?

Currently on 185/60R15. Would change to 195/55R15 as I've 7jj rims and my CC5 185s are jiggly and screechy on corners. Also, I've lowered my right height 2-3cm.

Deleted.
