Good year excellence is totally different category from MC6 and Fk510. MC6/Fk510 are UHP tyres, pretty much the top end of consumer grade product.

To make things easy, if wife prefers MC6, just go with it. She feels assured, she feels happy (her preference mah) and you no need headache. It also meets your criteria of handling and comfort.

Fk510, malaysian market seems to despise falken brand. Many prefer unknown china brand than falken. Product availability not that wide spread, although pricing is quite competitive.

Another choice would be the hankook v12evo2, good balance between performance and comfort. Usually could cost lower, but can only find one seller in mudah selling this at RM350/pc :

* likely possible to find someone selling lesser than this

Noted! She’s ok with the MC5 now so even a slight improvement would be a bonus tbf.

Deh........despite the MC6 may not be the best of the bunch, it is still a reputable brand compared to unknown china/indonesia brand (that are flooding the market now). It will still perform decent enough if she's already happy with the MC5.

Since her heart is with continental, no need too much arguments. Happy wife, happy life.... brows.gif

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

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
