If I were you, no brainer I choose the FK510! Because it's pretty much proven already in many tests against other top tires, very often comes out in the top 5 if not even top 3.

MC6 is claimed by Continental Malaysia to be UHP to rival PS4 but never proven, so talk is cheap! I'd pick CPC6 over this but stupid Continental Malaysia doesn't bring it in.

As for Goodyear Excellence, I won't consider coz it's lower class. Should be F1 series to be able to match up properly. I'd take Hankook V12 Evo 2 over this Excellence or even MC6! The V12E2 is an excellent value for money.

I was waiting for you to come in laugh.gif

A lot of my FK510 info comes from the links you previously provided. If it were up to me, it'd be the Falken. I however need to provide more compelling arguments to the wife.

So which are you using? The FK510 or the V12E2? I read around the hankook's wet performance isn't as good as the FK510.
Ah. So that's a good price. Noted. Thank you!

Haven't got the chance to try fk510. I got V12E2 on my son's Swift Sport and last time on my wife's Livina, very happy with them so far. I think fk510 should be better coz it's also newer tires but it's also slightly more expensive so on balance both should be excellent value for money.

Note though that fk510 sidewall is stiffer while v12e2 is softer, so probably V12E2 is more comfortable.

No truer words have been spoken, friend. nod.gif

Now trying to find FK510 from reputable shop...Or at least shop that are recommended. Just as a comparison to her; At least I can say I've done my part. Reading more reviews seems like the hankook v12E2 and S1E2 is quite...interesting. Heh.

Decisions, decisions eh?

My wife has no say about tires or pretty much anything on cars, she just follows what I say.

S1E2 should be as good if not better than V12E2 but difficult to find here in MY. Btw Hankook has released the S1E3, hopefully will come to MY.

Well, it's her cars. I can give strong recommendations but ultimately it's her choice. Heh.

Saw the reviews about the S1E3. Quite impressed. Seems like hankook joined the big league players?
Nah. I'm not that kinda driver. Pretty sedate driving most of the time.

Seems like a conclusion has been reached. Despite all the homework I've done, she went completely off tangent and decided on the PS4 laugh.gif

I guess that's a wrap gents. I thank everyone for their time and effort. I have come out a little bit more informed now about tyres and what not.

Gonna be going to the workshop her cousin frequents tomorrow. Apparently it's a good price

Thanks again!

Hahaha after all she's made the smartest choice, so kudos to her! thumbup.gif So next time no need to think much, just buy the best. brows.gif

I guess that's why she's my better half!

Good to know she won't shy away from the price if it's known to be a safer alternative biggrin.gif

Btw, for the interest of sharing, the PS4 was Rm500/piece. Additional 10 for steel valves (5 for rubber). Everything else was inclusive.
*
That's decent price.

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?
*
For me so far the most comfortable are V12E2 and F1A2.

Changed a set of fk510, previously was using Yokohama V105, here is my take..

Pros:
- Price
- Comfort
- Dry grip(maybe it is new?)

Cons:
- Slower steering response

Overall, given the price, value is superb.
*
How long already do you use the fk510?

Apart from slower steering response,  i can't find much compromise on this tyre. Check tyrereviews youtube videos, highly rated by them.

In case anyone looking for good deal, look for Lucas at Ching tyre auto service centre at Setapak.

What size did you get and how much?

Can't remember the exact price.

Wah very big sizes. Your front though is much thinner/lower sidewall by 1cm than the rear, so much smaller overall diameter (by 2cm).
