Is efficientgrip much more diff than triplemax?

I've already fitted a set of new PS4, but it's quite interesting to keep up with the tyre choices/performance over time haha. And this sifu decided to add more headache to the equation aaaaaa

I suspect F1S price is very similar to MC6 or at least not far so I's just take the F1S.

Triplemax I think is more towards durability.

Good la if already use PS4, only another 2-years then only headache to change again. Lol

Other than the noise, how does it compare? PS4 vs MC6
dry handling, steering response
wet handling, braking, aquaplane resistance

Dry handling - PS4
Steering response - MC6
Wet handling - MC6
Braking - PS4
Aquaplane Resistance - PS4

This is base on my driving experience/feel and may not be the same to all ppl.
Overall PS4 is better but more expensive compare to MC6.

I am using 215/45R17 now. Thinking of changing to Mc6 205/45R17. What is the difference?

results here... https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=98790880

Thanks for the review.
Aquaplane resistance seems to be a strong suit for Pilot Sport line. PS3 had very good performance too.

Saw it, very impressive.

yeah.

what also surprised me on second reading is ls588 going head to head with re003 at maybe half the price... another very good candidate for touring use and some fun if required

Hmm not quite correct to say ls588 head to head with RE003. If you scrutinise more closely on the results, you would see that ls588 is more for comfort tires, low noise and rolling resistance then better on wet braking but in other categories which are more for performance oriented, the RE003 is ahead. So those are 2 different types of tires, one is more for comfort touring while the other UHP (and more geared towards dry).

My own experience for RE003, the wet performance is lacking, especially aqua plane resistance. Dry is stellar.

My requirement is weighted more towards wet performance.

ya in terms of overall performance re003 is still ahead...so I agree with you per se, but ls588 didn't lose out big or disgraced itself...often coming in just 1 or 2 spot behind re003, except for dry handling where re003 is legendary... that's why i did say ls588 is a good candidate as a touring tire

my main concern on ls588 outside of performance is this...

saw this 5yr old low mileage cracking n chipping...

Many tires are like that if driven too short distances so they don't reach optimum temperature and easily brittle. Even PS3 also like that.

I am looking to replace all 4 tyres 225 45 19 for my Mazda 6 wagon.

I was quoted BRIDGESTONE T005B RM770 and UC6 SUV RM660. Don't know which one to take, please advise. BTW, what is the difference between UC6 and MC6?

Thank you.

Mind to share where did you get conti MC6 at RM 270?

T005 should be better than UC6. It's more proven internationally while UC6 is just a low end category tire for local Malaysia market.
UC6 is 1 class lower than MC6 and just 1 class higher than the horrible bottom of the pile CC6.

Got latest/newer comparison analysis that included Bridgestone RE004?

Wanna see how RE004 fared against the others.

The China analysis seems to match up well with this site too

https://toptirereview.com/continental-max-c...-pilot-sport-4/

Continental MC7 is out too.

235 55 r18

may I know, where Hankook Ventus Prime 4 position (rank) should be?

Currently using s1 evo2 (stock), thread almost finish. Able to use it for almost 5 years 100+k mileage. (fast driver but not aggressive style).

Was looking for evo3. expensive pulak (Rm700+ / piece). Prime 4 quite cheap. Review quite good (based on tyrereview.com)

Anyone can rank out these tire:
- Hankook s1 evo3
- Michelin mc6
- Hankook prime 4/4+
- GoodYear f1 asymmetric
- Michelin primacy 4
- Bridgestone turanza
- Goodyear efficient grip
- Pirelly PZ4

- You may add other tyre to the rank.

Example:
Primacy 4 > F1 assym > prime 4
