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

If not mistaken the Conti UC6 is available for that size (195/55 R15 right?). Should perform better then the CC6.

By the way what do you want from a tire? More grip means less comfort/worse noise.. Its one or the other..

Focus on which you want the most, performance or comfort? If performance, ventus v12 evo2, ps3/ps4 is one of the best. If comfort, cc6, ecopia, xm2 are the good ones.

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

None in ur list.

All are crap.

It's only hankook v12 evo2 vs potenza re003 vs michelin ps3

All rounder ps3
Dry grip and corner potenza
Cheap and all round hankook v12evo2

Would you recommend fitting PS3 on a 2008 Myvi?

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.
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.
