195/55/15 Volkswagen Polo HB
1. Kumho PS31 - Rm145
2. Hankook Ventus Prime 3 -Rm165
3. Conti Ultra Contact 6 - Rm195
4. Michelin Pilot Sport 3 -Rm230
Currently leaning towards Hankook Ventus. How does this tire fare against the others above?
Both Ventus and Kumho PS31 have very good reviews despite priced competitively.
Priority on handling. pilot sport is abit off stretch for me.

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Sep 26 2020, 05:04 PM) PS3 is the only true good performance tire in that list. PS31 claims to be UHP but not really good and it wears off much faster so the the cheap price does not really become cheap in practice. Prime 3 is not performance tire, just comfort touring tire, same like UC6. UC6 is absolute not worth it for a touring tire at that price point, it's actually the 2nd lowest model from Continental, just 1 level above the crap CC6. No la, just know a bit here and there only. what about toyo tr1 ? how does it wears against the ps3? i saw many ppl saying tr1 wears very fast too. Whats your opinion on the Dunlop J5 sport? And what do you recommend for price below rm200 ? |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Sep 26 2020, 05:27 PM) TR1 not sure, some I read ok but got user said not so good too in the wet. It should wear off faster than PS3, maybe around 20-30% faster. Toyo in general is never very good to begin with, decent at best. But the TR1 for it's price around rm160/pc is worth a try. J5 is normal la, not performance tire but decent for it's price below rm150 if not mistaken. Personally for me now difficult for this size below rm200. Last time only got the Hankook V12E2 which was an excellent value. Now of I have to buy, maybe I'd just try the new BS RE004, or try find the old Goodyear F1D5. What would be your take between Tr1 vs Prime 3? As both are in the similar price bracket. Im driving averagely at 120-150kmh. As for higher end bracket, re004 and Ps3 are in the similar price range. How do you compare this two? |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Sep 27 2020, 10:05 AM) Yes but price around rm320-340/pc. I'd try the TR1 coz it's supposedly UHP class with softer compound. RE004 better in the dry, PS3 better in the wet and a bit more comfortable, last longer. PS3 should be slightly more expensive though. “soft compound”. UHP tires mostly are made by this compound hence, the durability is reduced compared to other category of tire? As far as i read, tr1 wears much quicker. UHP tires like the ps3 already wears fast already, tr1 wears even faster? |
