215/55 i just change to conti mc5 now. satisfy from previous cars 225/45 and 245/40. should perform similar.

btw bridgestone turanza is even better. at cost of short lifespan

Why didn't you choose MC6?

Which turanza do you mean? T005A?

T001 sucks big time

bought 2nd hand remove out from civic fe. yalo i wonder why honda did not give mc6
earlier i was using turanza gr serie

FYI a lot of people want to ditch the MC5 tires, very weak side wall try not to hit pot holes or curb at high speed.
A lot of complaints around the net & forums, except for run flat model.

FYI local market BMW E90 & Porsche Boxter 986 already using MC5 tires as standard, that is nearly 10~20 years old model.. But luckily those are run flat type..

i know about it. really long way back then
tapi its new stock la date 2022

boss, is it there an intended design to reduce splashes when going through watter puddle

Yes V shape and high tread depth.

Dear epjx31,

1) Are OEM tires really different from aftermarket?
- I recently bought a car that came pre-fitted with Bridgestone Potenza S001, which has very polarized wet performance review result on the internet. (Mainly poor results)
- I am skeptical to keep it after these reviews, but I also remember seeing Michelin saying how they custom developed PS4S for BMW M star marked tire.
- Could there be a chance that the S001 i'm having is also designed in a different way to suit the car I'm having?

2) When tires are stored for 6 months at a time without temperature-controlled storage, will there be any degradation from the atmosphere? (Assuming it is stored shaded, but not temperature-controlled)
- I live in a 4 seasons country with mild winter, average temperature is around -5 centigrade range, with a week or two of cold waves that will go as low as -18.
- I took delivery of the car during winter and I immediately swapped out the summer Bridgestone to a Michelin PS4 All Season.
- I stored the summer tire at the tire shop and may / may not swap them back when temperature rises in spring (depending on how much confident I have in the Bridgestone S001 vs my current PS4 AS)
- I took a look at shop's storage area, it is a shaded warehouse but looks to be not temperature controlled. In this condition, will the summer tire degrade after 6 months of storage?

Interesting. let me try and answer you

1) OEM tires are designed differently than normal replacement tires. There is pro & cons, you can check out the tesla comparison (Michelin-crossclimate-2-vs-michelin-primacy-mxm4

To make things short, usually OE is going for rolling resistance and handling performances which suits its own agenda. From a user perspective a replacement tire is more design for you as they consider solely a user requirement. If I were you , I will swapped them for a replacement tires which suits your requirements.

2) I assume you in the US due to PS4 all season. Usually its the other way around where you are afraid during summer your winter tires will degrade. If you are talking solely about your summer tires there is no issue to store it in a winter condition. By the way, PS4 all season is not a 3 peak mountain certified tire, which means its not mean for serve winter conditions as you are facing. Cross Climate 2 is more suitable if you are looking for an all season liking. But since you already have a summer tire, you should probably get a real winter tire rather than these all season tire

s001 run-flat edition with bmw star? not good to me very dangerous
wow bro last time u was amd overclocker (really old stories) and now fly oversea ady

Guess you're getting similar enquiry all the time, ha, been trying to go through the posts but still haven't seen anything can help me.(I haven't go through all of them yet)

Okay, looking for new tyres now for my cx5, 225/55R19
I think you have been hearing this all the time, PS4 SUV ?
But then at the back of my head still thinking of looking 2nd option.

Mate, what's your suggestion ?
Any other option that is very close to michelin PS4 SUV or Primacy suv+ that I should take a look ?

First question you need to help me out is your requirements? Wet, dry or noise?

You could have a look at UC6 SUV vs Primacy SUV for head to head comparison.

Could try your luck and see whether UC7 (newer ver) has this size or not.

My suggestion for 2nd choice

https://www.tyrereviews.com/Search/Size/225...9/Season/Summer

Falken Azenis FK510 SUV
Hankook VP3

Usually Falken & Hankook are best in value at mid to upper range model

Goodyear Efficientgrip SUV
Bridgestone Alenza 001

Goodyear & Bridgestone also similar to Michelin couterpart.

If budget range can consider GITI tires, OEM tires to Proton X70
If not mistaken is under GitiComfort 520 model.

hi epjx31,

Currently i'm using Hankook Optimo meo2 205/60R16 for my inspira.
Planning to change all tyres but seems like the car is for weekend use only.
Need you suggestion as I don't really know much about tyre. and the price range?

Thank you

Hi there,

Based on my price table here are your options for your size

Michelin Primacy 4st 205/60R16 435
Continental UC6 205/60R16 (UC6) 407
Michelin Energy XM2+ 205/60R16 420
Toyo Nano Energy NE03 205/60R16 302

From what I get, your mileage would be low. The next question is what are your other requirements? Are you looking for best possible wet?

The options above are most of the top tires for the segment. Goodyear's Assurance TripleMax 2 could be a cheaper alternative with a price of RM350.

My mileage actually already 155k because before this I use it for work but since working at new place I am using public transport.

Based on your suggestion, seems like Toyo and Goodyear is within my budget. I dont have any specific requirements but may I know, which is less noise and comfort between these 2 tyres? Maybe can add also wet

For wet, noise and comfort Goodyear assurance triple max 2 would be a better choice

Thank you for the suggestion. Just now I’m going to workshop and the mechanic suggest Bridgestone ER33 for rm380, is it good bargain compare to Goodyear?

bs turanza can fight. ecopia dont.
lifespan about 30k plus, same with goodyear atm2 (need high tyre pressure to perform).

I see. Have you heard of Giti tyre? Is it good brand?
