195/55/15 Volkswagen Polo HB

1. Kumho PS31 - Rm145
2. Hankook Ventus Prime -Rm165
3. Conti Ultra Contact - Rm195
4. Michelin Pilot Sport- 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.

16" will get you much better handling

prime3 is good average tyre for the price... last place imho

what you meant last place btw?

dont plan to go upsize as the 16 inch is the point whr tire gets expensive already. And i just replaced new rims. 😂

answering your question "How does this tire fare against the others above?"

tbh...if you're not pushing and drive at the limit... is good enough

Seems like Malaysian distributor stops bringing in the V12E2 even though in the websitestill has, just stupid!

PS4 unfortunately doesn't have in 15'.

saw some big size v12e2 at a shop... maybe old stock, but didn't ask...

“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?

polymer science has come a long way... now they can make the tyre softer, more grip, last longer

ppl who uses uhp tyre and chat in forums probably drive these tyre harder than usual, and thus wear them out faster

wear n tear also depends on alignment n tyre pressure... I had a highway daily drive last time...I set very neutral camber n toe...tyre last me close to 100k km... no further rotation or alignment... lol

saw 16 inch still have . anyway, Ventus prime 3 performance is very much lower compared to the v12e2?
*
it's lower but not very much lower lah... I think it suits different style and conditions

the prime3 more like a good touring, good mileage and dry performance... the v12e2 looks to be better track and wet performance...
