Hi guys 😁

I need to change my car's tyres soon after using Conti MC5 for 6 years (stock). I'm looking for recommendations. Wanted to go for Michelin PS4 but they're a little out of my budget. Also found Hankook Ventus Prime 3 but they're very cheap so I'm afraid of it's quality.

My priorities are: Longevity > Quietness > Comfort > Handling
Car & size > Honda civic FC 215/50/R17

My experience with Conti MC5 is good but it was really noisy. Not sure if MC6 is better. Appreciate any opinions/recommendations/experiences from u guys 😁

Stay safe.

Longevity? Say no more. Goodyear duramax.
Otherwise XM2+ or Primacy are good choices also

I couldn't find Duramax though, Primacy a bit pricey, might consider XM2+. Thanks for the recommendation btw!

hankook prime 3 is a good choice for its performance and quietness, dont expect it to perform like higher end UHP, but i have bring the tyres to track and spirited drive up genting, it perform very good and much more durable and grippy compare to hankook v12 evo2, wet performance is slightly better than v12 evo2, if you dont speed in rain (<120km/h) it will work fine

Thanks for sharing! Prime 3 seems to be a perfect choice, but why is so cheap though? Any flaws/downsides?

Prime 3 is more towards comfort touring tire range, the only flaws/downsides is people tent to not believe in Korean tires..

FYI Hankook is consider one of the premium tyres in market, similar level as Michelin, Bridgestone, Pirelli, etc..

downside is the wet is not as good as dry, but i've tested with my car running on 225/40R18 and it still corner fine on winding highway road at 120km/h at wet highway, and like most tyres, it get noisier and performance degrade when it wear down to less than 40%, but prime 3 still more quiet compare to v12 evo2 at that wear level

hankook tyres is not produced in korea, but somewhere nearer to our country, iinm mine is indonesia, maybe that's why the selling price is lower

Thanks guys for the recommendations! Gonna change to prime 3 then~
