Seems like what my friend said about ps4 is true,

He said, it got price hike. Dunno true or not.

But rm500 per piece for 225/45r17 is on high side.

I see online also, cannot get price like last year. Price hike is it hmm.gif hmm.gif

Mind you, this 500 is the lowest we could find. Everywhere else is above 550. One shop in KD doing 530. Would've went there but no cousin's endorsement. Heh.

What was the price like last year?

Yup yup. Initially I didn't expect she'd end up at that decision. All working out fine I suppose.

The PS4 is really something else when it comes to wet handling. Not too big an improvement on the comfort but hey, can't have 'em all eh?

i wrote some feedback in the t005a thread...why i changed my mind..well first of all i bought it because
1.i test drove the new camry which had this tire in 18 incher,it feel really good on camry
2. bridgestone advertise this as having a reinforced sidewall which caught my attention because i equate sidewall strength and steering feel,so wow,good steering feel in touring tire category what a nice combo!!
3. its a 2018 product from first tier tire manufacturer,cannot be bad kua
4. its cheappppp,i kinda broke right now

but,after using it on my car,i find its a another boring tire,the steering feel is worse than primacy,my theory about the side wall didn't work out...it turn my uncle car into granny car...its quiet its comfortable....zzzz ok la at least my wife and kids like it in the back

Hehehe, what to expect la, mid range comfort tires are like that lor. You want sporty handling tires surely should have bought UHP tires.

Since we are on the topic of UHP and comfort tires, what would generally be considered the most comfortable (NVH, road feedback, general bumpiness) amongst UHP tyres?

MC6 is not Continental tyres. It’s not sold in continental countries. It’s just sime tayar with the Continental brand stamped on it.

FK510 is good. Made in Japan and it’s Falken’s flagship.

Tyres I’ve used in the past include PP2, PS3, RE003, P7, GY Revspec RS02, GY Eagle F1 D5. Haven’t tested it’s wet performance yet, but dry is good, just a little less responsive in steering input at low speeds.

Ya agree, continental official retailer here is continental sime tyre pj Sdn Bhd.

But, Sime tyre is sime tyre, continental tyre is continental tyre. As a licensee, u cannot simply put ur product line into licensor product. U said, conti mc6 is sime tyre brand but stamp continental. That is very incorrect bro.

Mc6 not only sell in malaysia but asean country too. I take example nearest which is singapore and thailand. They also sell mc6 and their official retailer is not sime tyre. So, still MC6 is sime tyre but stamp conti logo on it according to u? whistling.gif whistling.gif

Licensee? Licensor? What talking you. Sime Tyre is majority owned by Continental. There’s no Sime branded tyres being manufactured anymore. What do you think happened to all the Sime engineers and workers?
