want to do first tyre change for my car proton persona 2019. see some reviews for cc6, xm2+, ps3, yokohama fleva. just need one last push from lowyat.net forum. i want to change from 185/55R15 to 195/55R15. Want all around tyre with affordable price. so must have low noise, good grip etc. seems like cc6 on top of all. anyone having different reviews? can suggest all around tyres? n workshop too with affordable price. i stay in puchong.

work in kl, so everyday drive from puchong to kl. mostly use highways balik kg, to tg malim and seremban. so always at 100kmph - 120kmph. is conti cc6 still good for me?

CC6's only good points are low noise & low wear. Poor performance in dry & wet grip & handling.

Better go with Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2 for the same budget of CC6. It performs much better than CC6 in all criterias except for the noise, where it is CC6 strong point.

Michelin PS3, Toyo Proxes TR1 & Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 are UHP tyres which cost higher as well. However their grip & handling is much better. Only the noise are higher & high rate of wear.

The CC6 once near the wear bar has greatly reduced grip on my car last time. Changed all four tyres to XM2+ currently and they perform better all round in terms of dry grip, wet grip, noise.

do take note that if u changed to PS3, ur fuel economy might be slightly worse

my take will be on XM2+ since travel alot

Price wise both are the same? Or xm2+ more expensive? Which eco tyre affordable enough compared with cc6/triplemax?

My wishlist is ps3 too. But i cant afford that for now. Less than 200rm i still can manage. But is there any shop i can get ps3 below 200?😂😂

Me too. But no enough cash to buy xm2+ for now. Any shop u can share that i can use credit card/easy payment?

Klang Hin Leong, last time changed CC6 RM185 for 185/60/15

i use toyo nanoenergy3 tyre on my city just rm151, cheap but careful new tyre have less grip, have to drive a few miles and now it's good..

i think most tyre shop will have credit card machine right ?
may i know your location and budget ?

if you from KL you may consider this shop at batu caves

I bought XM2+ for my Iriz 2019 via Shopee

Promotion price ~RM900 (with metal valve + alignment + balancing)

XM2+ is not worth it coz the price difference to PS3 is minimal yet the grip performance is a lot less! CC6 is horrendous grip, only good for longevity and silent. PS3 is really the best by far in this 15' size. Back then used to have Hankook V12E2 which is cheap but yet almost as good as PS3 but now seems no more available unfortunately. You may consider the new Bridgestone RE004, otherwise try find for the Goodyear F1D5 or Assurance Triplemax 2.

CC6 will win in terms of comfort and low noise but handling could be the worst among all the budget tyres. If you don't speed and usually drives like an uncle, this tyre is a great choice.

Maybe you can try Continental UltraContact 6 (UC6). It is 1 level above CC6 while giving adequate comfort level.

You have to go 195/50 R15 for same OD

If stock size is 185/55/15, you can go with 195/50/15.

Slightly smaller diameter. Negligible.

Vote goes to PS3. Very linear response up to the handling limit. Smooth and forgiving breakaway characteristics.

If you know what the above means, then the other options won't suit you. If you don't, then any other tyre will do just fine.

Best all round daily use UHP tyre. Except for the price.

XM2+ is more expensive at rm200+ per piece.

Triplemax 2 is about rm150 per piece.

Stay in puchong. For budget, if got bank panel easy payment can go for ps3 lor, but price must be logic la. If no easy payment, then just take 200 below

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.

Shopee search wptnippon

Rm500min, public and Maybank credit cards only

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
