Just get PS3 if your budget permits it. Otherwise, get the VP3 or Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2.

With your OE size of 195/55 R15 you definitely have a lot of options what to go for.

Name Tire Size Price(RM)
Kumho Ecsta PS31 195/55R15 150
Continental ComfortContact 6 CC6 195/55R15 150
Goodyear Assurance TripleMax 2 195/55R15 152
Toyo Nano Energy NE03 195/55R15 156
Bridgestone Ecopia EP300 195/55R15 176
Toyo Proxes TR1 195/55R15 192
Continental UC6 195/55R15 195
Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 195/55R15 210
Michelin Energy XM2+ 195/55R15 221
Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE004 195/55R15 235
Kumho Ecsta V720 195/55R15 250

If you previously had XM2 and wet braking is your main priority I would recommend XM2+.

With the best wet braking results in the A/B segment, XM2+ is definitely not a taxi tire smile.gif

PS3 will be the best for wet weather.
I even put 185/55/15 PS3 for my mom's cute little car.

Hot sunny day braking for traffic light with ecopia bridgestone also turns on ABS often for a cute little car.
After changing PS3 it never activate the ABS under normal driving.

First set of PS3 was still good up to legal limit (legally need to change).
Then now on 2nd set PS3.
