Can't decide which one. Let's take price out of the equation and focus on performance, comfort and noise levels.

None of your list! They are all just low-mid range models so performance are no good. Get Hankook V12 Evo 2, only around rm165/pc, gives you better performance, comfort, and relatively low noise, the best value for money.

Sorry for asking noob questions but why are the other tyres considered way better and cheaper than a tyre like Triplemax 2?
*
Triplemax 2 is Goodyear's mid range model. Hankook V12 Evo 2 or PS3/4 are already higher category performance tires (UHP category). For Goodyear, the UHP category is the F1 series. V12E2 and PS3/4 rival with F1 series.

And despite being a higher category, it is still cheaper than Goodyear's mid range while having better performance and comfort too?  hmm.gif

Goodyear is top tier brand like Bridgestone, Michelin, Continental, Pirelli. So they have a bit premium price. Hankook on the other hand is 2nd tier brand so their prices are much more competitive. A lower model of Goodyear may not be better than a top end Hankook even if the Goodyear is more expensive. Think of it like price of Mercedes vs Toyota.

Would you recommend fitting PS3 on a 2008 Myvi?

If you got the budget why not? Buy the best you can afford, that's always my recommendation for tires.

Really appreciate the feedback.

As price is not an issue atm, out of all the options available, would you say PS3 > V12 Evo 2 > Potenza?

I've been using Goodyear Eagle NCT 5 for several years and just recently changed to Triplemax 2. I just followed what my mechanic recommended. Based on your feedback, I'll get the ones you guys suggested next.

I'd give V12E2 a slight edge over PS3 especially in the dry. PS3 is only slightly better in aquaplaning resistance when in heavy rain. Given that the price of PS3 is about 200-230/pc vs V12E2 at only rm165-180/pc then overall V12E2 is the better buy.

I followed the recommendation of lowyat tire sifu. Used Hankook Evo V12 (directional tire) had good dry and wet performance. However 2 out of my 4 tires which were of the same age had bulging issue once the tires hit the thread marker. A bit scary that 50% of my tires had suddenly form a bludge (tire bengkak). Then I changed to Michelin PS3 slightly poorer wet performance but less noisy recently reached the thread marker, so far no issues.

Oh sorry to hear that, but did you hit anything that may made them bulge? Anyway when reached thread wear marker, you should change already.
