How about installation? Bought in shopee but walk in or postage then need to go find workshop?

They have a workshop that will install it - so you must go to their particular workshop.

Don't understand the logic of die die must use top brand but not enough budget. That top brand is good no doubt, but is it affordable? Does it bring value for money to your situation? Are you sure it is the ONLY choice that give the same level of performance?

Why not consider cheaper yet same level of quality/performance (as per what you have laid out) alternatives? Some other choices that come across my mind but not exhuastive that offer 195/55R15 in mudah/shopee/lazada without breaking your bank

Hankook Ventus Prime 3
Hankook Kinergy Eco 2
Bridgestone Ecopia EP300
Falken Sincera SN832
Dunlop Formula D06
Toyo NE03
Yokohama BluEarth ES32

Which one of these is affordable and worth it? Its my first tyre change and i have no idea. 195/55/R15 is the size.

In terms of touring tyres for this size, I think it's either the Ventus Prime 3 or Assurance Triplemax 2. Not sure which one is better between the two, hopefully others can chip in their opinion.

Ventus prime 3 K125 should be the replacement for Ventus V12 Evo2 K120. However the performance is so so & much left to be desired compared to it's predecessor.

I would take my pick with the Triplemax 2 if budget is tight. More value for money.

Good handling, braking, comfort & price around rm150 only per piece

I'm pretty sure it's safe to assume that V12evo2 and VP3 are 2 different categories of tyres lol. Specifically referring to touring tyres only.

So does that mean Triplemax 2 > VP3 in terms of overall performance or overall value?

If it's UHP for this size, it's either PS3 or RE004 now.

Overall value to what has been paid. In terms of performance they are similar, albeit VP3 is more expensive.

For UHP, PS3 would be the best. The next best thing for me I would prefer Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 or Toyo Proxes TR1.

RE004 although has some improvements across the board compared to RE003, however the wet handling, grip & brake improvements are not good enough, which were the weakpoints for RE003.

All listed is affordable range. Whether it is worth your money or not is rather subjective, but each is not that far from the others.

Browse around mudah/lazada/shopee to get the best price. You can throw a few other candidates mentioned b4 by other kind forummers for e.g. GY ATM2, Toyo CR1 etc

If I were to choose,

Cheapest with good independent test result --> Hankook Kinergy Eco2 K435
Slightly better performance without breaking the bank --> GY ATM2 or Hankook VP3
