Not many choice for good comfort & performance tyre at 15' rim. Most good tyre start with 16 or 17 inch rim like Primacy & Turanza. Anyway Continental Ultra Contact6 among good comfort & performance start at 15inch rim, made in Malaysia.

Last time had cheap good tyre, Neuton NT8000, performance nearly like PS3 but good comfort.

Ahh.. UC6, i did not noticed this tire.. looks good. have you got any experienced with it?
Planned to change to Primacy 4 before but got no size for 195/55/15, smallest one is 195/60/15 which is too big already for my car..

My old myvi SE with some tyre at 195/55/15 will touch fender at rear at bumpy road, still using Neuton NT8000 already 4+ years old. Good grip & comfort, assymetric design.

My friend using UC6, he mentioned very good comfort & silent if compare with he previous tyre Hankook Evo2, very noisy coz the V design & after 3 - 4 months the grip drop & not confident at corner in wet road condition. He driving Innova but he drive 120KmH+ during rain. Now he drive more confident with UC6, but just 3+ month. Normally I suggest my officemate try UC6 SUV for their SUV, reasonable price. May be I will also try it after this coz my PS4 already 2+ years old.

For more info read: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Continen...Contact-UC6.htm
Can compare & read other user review there.

My son's Swift is using the V12E2 for over 20k km now and still not noisy and good performance. I can still whack it over 120kph in the wet. On the other hand a former office colleague bought UC6 for his Camry and regretted it coz he said the handling not so stable and I think it makes sense coz UC6 is just 1 level above the lowest CC6 in Continental range.

Your son's very lucky, may be coz light small car & drive carefully in town area. My friend very hard braking driving style & heavy load big MPV. Last time had different experienced with same tyre with different car, Yoko Cdrive 2, very good & long lasting with Preve Turbo but average performance with my brother BMW 7 series.

If read under U.K tyre review also had mix feedback for Hankok Evo2.

I also often drive the Swift and I drive quite fast too. Our routine route is always 60-70% highway. Previously my wife's Livina also used V12E2. For the price I think it's excellent value for money.

I had two bad experienced with V type tyre, good in wet but noisy. First with Goodyear Directional & second Toyo T1R, Toyo T1 Sport is good grip & comfort. Now after Finish Michelin Primacy using PS4. Feel full confident driving in wet, anyway I could get cheaper than normal price. Normally my tyre could last nearly 3 years

I used F1D5 before, yes it's not silent but ok for me. V12E2 is more silent than F1D5.

If you read Toyo T1R & T1Sport had same medium compound but different tread design, coz T1R v type compound it noisy esp at concrete or old road.

T1R is not good to begin with. Even T1S also not so good and got people saying it's also still noisy.

May be true, depend on made in where, coz last time had friend using Primacy made in China, average performace but my Primacy made in Thailand very good comfort & performance. Anyway most of our Alfa club will make joke if anybody using v design thread, they said like bad orchestra on Highway. Hehehe!

Most of us had bad noisy experienced with v design thread if compare with assymetric design thread.
