Looking for updated recommendations for 205/55R16, priority is safety/handling, then quietness, then comfort. 70% city, 20% highway, 10% kampung roads.

Since now Hankook V12 no longer in production, I was considering Yokohama ES32 as an alternative at similar price point (RM 218/pc @ Pro Wheel Tyre, Klang)

Appreciate if any sifus could offer their expert opinion on the tyre, price, shop etc....

Also, another shop TEE 3 Auto in Kipark, Kuala Lumpur is offering the same tires at RM 280/pc... Should I be suspicious of such a big price difference compared to Pro Wheel??

Get PS4, it's the best choice available. ES32 is a lot lesser below PS4.

How much is the PS4? and is the PS4 quiet?

What about the chipping issue, I saw some other threads showing pics where the PS4 treads chipping around 30-40k km...

For your size probably around rm350. Noise level similar to V12E2. Yes still got chipping if driven hard but not a big problem, grip still good despite that. For most people who drive normal or even mildly aggressive, the chipping is almost non existent.
