This new D06 is replacing D05....quite a new tyres, havent see the review yet through Googles...195 55 15 was offered at RM125 to RM145 per piece...
Used to have D05 and quite reasonable performance for small sedan and hatchback during wet and dry performance.

Anybody have experience using D06? Care to share the experience?

I’m on 195/50/R15 and it’s becoming more difficult to source for all-rounder performance tires in this size. At the moment I’m using Hankook V12evo2 but sadly it will be discontinued.

I’m looking at those with price of about RM150 per piece.

So far under my shortlist is Kumho PS31 and this new Dunlop D06. Any thoughts?

I'm a loyal Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2 user myself for all my cars. Unfortunately, Hankook decided to stop producing this model for sizes 17" & below hence the replacement, the Ventus Prime 3 which is made in Indonesia! Can't even find the treadwear reading on the tyres at all!

FYI, V12 Evo2 already discontinued for sizes 17" & below.
As for all rounder tyres, perhaps u could give the Yokohama ES32 made in Japan a try? RM140 each on what I've came across recently by my staff.

I never read anything good about PS31. Better try that new D06 or Toyo TR1, or even the Prime 3 than PS31.

Prime 3 is actually not true replacement of V12E2. That's just what marketing people want customers to believe. Prime 3 is still a touring tire category, not UHP like V12E2, even though it might be pretty decent.

That's a pity. This means no real proven UHP below rm180 for 15'. Options now only TR1, V701, RE003, F1D5, PS3, and the new RE004.

Such a pity that the V12E2 is gone. Out of the options you have listed, would you say PS3 is still the best overall choice?

Since RE004 is just released and no review yet, then yes PS3 is at this moment still the best. My guess is RE004 will be much better in the dry but unsure if the improvement in the wet will finally match PS3. I doubt it will but hopefully it will come close enough, then it will be a good choice. Then slightly below PS3 will be F1D5 but this tire not so common to find now.

1 of my dad original Persona 19 tyre got sidewall damage
so as a good son I change all 4 tyres to Dunlop D06 195/55/15 at UTS Batu 3 Kuantan

Got RM138 per donut including workmanship

first impression is, heck the tyre is more quieter then the Silverstone Kruizer1 185/55/15
but.. all tyre pun quieter then the Kruizer

will take sometime to get used to this, but I don't think that it is much different from D05 (my current car uses this)
