PS4 so far only has 1 minor weakness which is like PS3, still chipping when driven hard while the tread is already about 50%. Other than that this tire is excellent, hence the premium price.

Another alternative to PS4 which I highly recommend also is the Continental Extreme Contact Sport which is similar price to PS4 despite still made in Europe with excellent grip too but so far for me no chipping yet.

Aquaplaning, emergency manoeuvres. I drive at the same legal speed, regardless rain or shine, so the tyres must be up to par. And I take corners at quite high speeds (relative to aunties), so if I want to maintain almost the same speed during dry, then the tyres got to be up to the mark in the wet. Because I lazy to brake, I prefer driving smoothly. For the exact same make and model, other owners change brake pads twice as fast as I do.

To be fair, let me observe the FK510. I did not check the tyre pressure yet since installing it on Saturday. Sending it for alignment and road force balancing today or tomorrow.

That being said, you just get the Hankook and save some money  icon_idea.gif

Looks like your driving style a bit similar to mine.

Save your cash for now, you can keep your ps4 down to the thread wear indicator line. Despite being a tyre manufacturer, michelin is a strong advocate against changing tyres prematurely (albeit they standby this claim on their own tyres, not other brands). Your claim that it still grips rather well in wet despite quite worn down stands proof of their formula and engineering of their compounds.

On the other hand, i feel like the lower price point of the fk510 can change in the foreseeable future. The lower price point is likely falken's way of penetrating the market and create some buzz among the car community. Some months ago, i observe the pricing of the fk510 in singapore is going up. Either could be due to too high demand, or really, the "promotion" period is going to end. But i could be wrong.

Another alternative econo-performance tyre would be the hankook v12evo2. I'm using it now. Compared to the ps4, you would likely observe some improvement towards rolling refinement, but lose out a bit when comes to performance at limit. But still, the performance is still way better than the factory fitted toyo t1s.

I noticed the price has gone up too, pricing is very close to PS4S for my size. Will get PS4S next round if pricing maintain or go up further.

Yea i bought from him on Feb 2019, price was good that time. Now when i check back, price has gone up. It is now rm400 different compare to PS4S, no brainer to go for FK510 already...

Mind share your seller? If price is good, i will go for another set with FK510, don't think my set can last until 2020.

Weekend North South Highway, roads were damp. Performance is good.

110km/h I don't hear the tyre noise, hear more wind noise.

So far I'm happy.

What car do you used it on?

I see on mudah 255/35/19 is rm 860. Do you think i can get it cheaper at the place where you bought yours?

Im in kelantan so its hard to survey around for tires. Here they jack up the price of course.

Wild guess - TS's car is the 330e biggrin.gif

Edit: Since TS did mentioned the shop where he changed his tyres, maybe you can try googling up their contact number and ring them for a quotation.

Wet performance and NVH are good, slightly let down on steering response.

I even tracked at sepang with this, so far so good biggrin.gif

The only question left is the mileage life on these. PS4 seem to go >50k km for the same make and model as mine.. if I can get almost the same, I’ll stick to FK510z

There is already a test including wear in the tirereviews UK and both the PS4 and FK510 were included. If I remember correctly the FK510 is about average, and PS4 was better but cannot remember by how far.

Did emergency braking, ABS kicked in, no squeal no skid no drama. Stopped with plenty of distance from the car in front.

Nice.

What happened to this tyre? Totally vanished from mudah listing now, no more selling in our market? Even the relatively new re004 already have quite some listing....

I think the distributor for Falken is just sleeping. Not that many dealers selling it, not much promotion.
