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

V12E2 "replacement"?? the Hankook K125 Prime 3 got this 195/50R15 size
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.

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.
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.
