currently using 195/50 15 PS3... would like to go back to stock size 185/55

my criteria is ride comfort but must not have big sacrifices in handling as well

currently based on my search so far the tyres that I can find

- PS3 (but not really keen on it again... serves me well through wet and dry but quite noisy)
- XM2+
- Advan Fleva
- Bluearth ES32
- Bluearth GT AE51 (quite a new tyre... not much reviews even in this forum)
- Assurance Triple Max (too bad ATM 2 not available in 185/55 15)

Yokohama Advan Fleva, although it is a UHP tyre, the noise is considerably lower than PS3.

You won't have to sacrifice performance for the sake of lower noise if you pick this tyre.

PS3 is the best choice by far.

Like the grip but too noisy for me, would like to try something else

Besides, from the way I drive, i may not even fully utilise the potential of the tyre

i using fleva since 2017, clocking 60k mileage and time for new donuts. I wouldn't said it is quiet tyre nor good performance, tyre squeezing sound when you turn in highspeed corner (90km/h+), while others tyre doesn't have that sound, which make you lost confident to go faster.

Fleva is famous for squealing sound more easily.

ya, thx for the correction, the "squealing" sound is too annoying biggrin.gif
and make you feel less confident to clear the corner with that speed.
anyways, it is still a good tyre as it has decent grip in dry and "Ok" in wet.

I check Mudah, Fleva selling rm188 and PS3 selling RM215, i will go to Ps3

I thought there is triple max 2 for 185/55 R15? I recall myvi 1.5 stock tyre is that size
