Currently using Yokohama BlueEarth AE50 with 215/50R17

Between Michelin Primacy 4 and Hankook Prime 3, any recommendation?

What about the noise level?

I dont expect it to be like Primacy 4 but if its just slightly noisier i can accept.

Got both the tires inside tested

rim protection

what...nobody talks about this great tyre anymore? Have been testing this tyre in the rain recently and I gotta say its pretty awesome...how it still wants to grip even with that layer of slippery liquid around it is...breathtaking. I can sense that the road is a bit slippery but the grip levels on the tyre is still trying its best to hold on. At higher speeds this will probably not hold but at the speed I normally do and with my car's chassis...it gripped just nicely (actually grip was tearing as you go but still not letting go!)

hi speed tak cukup. tested since new

Waiting for Prime 4 to reach Malaysian market
Some shops that used to sell Prime 3 before also have no stock of this tyre
Reviews in Europe seems to indicate the newer Prime 4 is much improved over the Prime 3

Been using Prime 3 for almost 2 1/2 years and clocked about 60k km
Already due for replacement but still no news of Prime 4 reaching our market yet

Any shop ard klang valley has stock for 195/55/15?

can try ask Oscar tyre. I just bought tyre there(cheapest tyre selling shop) and i can say their shop got almost all tyre brand. However it's super busy there every single day. Need to queue and wait +- 1hour for tyre change

Recently bought 2 pieces from Racing Z Car Care in Cheras. RM182 per piece.

what? Straights? Sepang? Balik Kampung?
High speed depends on your engine capacity...that's all. What does this have to do with tyre?

grip when driving fast. wet n dry.
daily roads only

Some say this tire bad in the rain. Some say very good in the rain. Mana satu betul ni?

Is it better than XM2+ at least? Or on par?

Need to change tires but dunno to go for which cos PS3 prices like haram now

FYI, VP3 competes against Primacy 4 even more higher range compare to XM2+

Go and read the test reports & reviews and decide your own.

Ah thanks for the tips mate. Managed to find some seller selling at a rather reasonable RM175 per pc. Might give it a try

BTW sifus, which do you reckon is better? VP3 or Maxxis Victra Ipro? Price wise pretty close

012 (maxxis)

Tyre Category

VP3 = Premium Touring
Maxxis Victra Ipro = High Performance Summer tire

If talk about performance for sure Maxxis is the better 1, but dont expect the same comfort & silent as premium touring tires.
Also the treadwear of Maxxis also lower rated (faster wear) due to performance base.

Am currently using PS3 year 2020. Need to change 2 pcs front dy. Before this was on Yoko ES32. Good tires but
ES32 wear quite fast. Used Victra I Pro years ago, remembered that it was grippy and quiet when new. But not lasting of cos

Was wondering whether should try out VP3 or not cos never used before

Am using XM2 on another car, 4 years 50K KM still got 70%. Worth the money. Only getting slightly noisier now

Anyone used EP300 before? How is it compared to VP3? Or any similar category tires

XM2 now already similar to budget tire range which the rubber compound will harden over the years to prolong the lifespan, nothing to shout about as even my previous Giti tires really last a long long time until serious crack only throw away..
