Currently i'm using continental UC6 for about 3 years & i had clocked in distance of 70,000km. It is the time to get a new set for my 4 tyres. The UC6 comfort, handling experience is much better than PC2, CC6 & Bridgestone Turanza ER300

I'm thinking to try out Hankook Ventus Prime 3 this round. Any one has the review for Hankook Ventus Prime 3?

Problem is the 185/55/16, only Honda uses this size. Very seldom other manufacturers are using this tyre size for their entry level cars here in Malaysia.

Falken tires are distributed by Stamfort tires Shah Alam.

https://www.stamfordtyres.com.my/ziex-ze310r-ecorun/

They do have 185/55/R16 for Falken ZE310.
Some tire shop dont have relationship with them so will purposely try to push other brand or in-house available tire to clear.

They have official retail shop and i have personally call them and ask for quote & shipment details before. It can be done if you got the will.

Just get Ventus Prime 3. Its Premium touring same as Michelin Primacy 4 and Bridgestone Turanza T005A.

That UC6 for me not yet reach premium touring level. Still touring level same as cc6, just more grip than cc6.

Based on feedback from tyre reviews, seems like the UC6 performs slightly better overall as compared to Ventus Prime 3.

If not mistaken UC6 were introduce to replace MC5 in Malaysia market.
MC5 previously is under Premium Touring Category and upgraded to UHP level for MC6
So UC6 now is replacing the MC5 place and should be under Premium Touring level.
Oversea website also market UC6 as Premium Touring Summer tyre designed to be fitted to Passenger Car

For comfort and durable yes, uc6 better.
For handling and grips, definitely cpc2 traction AA, best when it cut water puddle.

FYI, the traction value is not for handling. It is for the tire’s ability to stop in wet weather situations.
In other words, the AA rated tire will have a shorter braking distance on wet road surfaces than the C rated tire.
