Dear epjx31,

215/45R17
Toyota Altezza RS200
Michelin PS4

Front left tyre got punctured on the sidewall.
Yesterday learned from 1 tiktok video: tyre sidewall damage cannot be repaired.

Looking to replace front 2 tyres.
Drive style comfort and relax, car for balik kampung during weekend.

Considering
1. Maxxis Ipro Vitra <- High Performance (Malaysia Maxxis website claim it is UHP)
2. Bridgestone RE004 <- Max Performance
3. Ventus Prime 4 <- Premium Touring
4. Ventus S1 evo3 - closest dimensions is 205/45R17 <- Max Performance

Max Performance/UUHP > High Performance > Premium Touring

Appreciate your advise.
Thank you.

Personally, PS4 is the top UUHP/Max Performance tires in market beating even the newest PS5 tire in term of performance.
If you can let go of the higher performance and go for comfort and relax style you will need to downgrade to premium touring type tires.
In the list only Ventus Prime 4 is in that premium touring category, the rest is either in Max performance or UHP tires range.

Bridgestone Potenza Adrenaline RE004 should be an entry level UHP. Above this tire should be Bridgestone Potenza Sport.

Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 K127 is also a UHP tire. Above this should be the new Hankook Ventus S1 Evo Z K129

You may go into this website link and check the tire category for the related 1.

Potenza RE004 is in Max Performance category, Only the old RE040 is in UHP tires.

S1 all series are in Max Performance already, only the old Evo V12 is in UHP

No idea why tyre manufacturers downgrade for the latest of their products

Is it a good idea to pair Maxxis Victra IPRo or Hankook Ventus Prime 4 at one end with Michelin PS4 at the other end?

Should I choose tyres that are equal/almost equal to PS4 i.e. Bridgestone RE004 or Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3?

how much more bunga you have in your ps4?... if >50% can try find used ps4... tahan until change all 4...

since you don't drive aggressive, should be ok to pair good touring tires...

Think >80%, because after put on PS4 , travelled only 19,500km before realize front left sidewall punctured.

Or should I replace the punctured one with used PS4?

if me >80% i will try find a used ps4... where are you from?

im shopping for new shoes can try look out for you...

actually i would even consider buying a new one...

Go to FB marketplace, many sell the used 1-2 years old tyre with decent looking tread at affordable price. But there are also seller who still selling 5 years old tyre there, too old tyre is not ok

Thank you for your recommendations.

I am from Penang.

Found used PS4 on Shopee.
RM240 each. Minimum order 2 pcs.

Not worth it.
At that price, might as well buy new Maxxis Victra IPRo.

If lower-tier tyre is not an issue to couple with PS4, I plan to put Maxxis at the front.
