Hello,
I want ask here for advise regarding the best tyre for Perodua Myvi.
I had an accident at the famous bend in Suntex due to aquaplaning recently. [attachmentid=10953604]
My friend recommend Michelin Pilot Sport tyre.
After researching, I found there are 2 different ones. Pilot Sport 3 and Pilot Sport 4.
Is the PS4 tyre available for Myvi?
Are there better tyres? mostly driving in city and highways and I would not like to get into the aquaplaning situation again.
Hoping to have some recommendations/advice from forummers.
Thank you.

My recommendation would be XM2+ of Michelin. Based on your requirements of aquaplaning as it has the best results.

Currently it is priced at 180 you can check this table out -->Link

Lmao, any update/follow-up from TS or anybody else?
So PS3 vs XM2+ or any other relevant brand for wet grip & braking/aquaplanning issues

Based on my check the best bet for a wet tire for Myvi is the Xm2+. Wet braking is absolute best in-class while having excellent wear. I had also had a quick look on aquaplaning and XM2+ is the top of the class. So no worries. smile.gif

Michelin even with top of the range aquaplaning is not always the top of the class, the only best for Xm2+ is it can last longer and the rest like wet & dry braking performance will not wear much even after long use, this is their real advantage.

Do not mix aquaplaning with wet braking, these 2 are different category. I always heard a lot of people say it but aquaplaning means you need to drive thru certain water level at a certain speed without loosing control, Michelin is not the best in this category. If want solely better aquaplaning tires, Falken & many other brands (even Maxxis) also can beat Michelin in this category. Aquaplaning are tested via Straight Aqua & Curved Aquaplaning, just google about tyre review.

For sure, aquaplaning and wet braking is totally different test. However from physics point of view a good wet braking compound actually helps to dissipate more water during driving hence the improvement in aquaplaning. Based on internal test results which I have seen, xm2+ is definitely the best aquaplaning tire in its class.
