All around improvement.

Increased grip & handling during dry & wet.

Major aquaplaning resistance.

Lower noise.

To me, VP3 was such a lousy tire. Poor grip during dry & wet. I've dump the tire after less than a year & 10k ish km.

In my personal view, Primacy 5 is more aesthetically pleasing than Primacy 4.

This, UHP gives better grip (its main priority), lower Treadware because it gives more grip hence use a softer compound. compared to ECO tyres, which give lesser priority for Grip, hence a harder compound. The mid-range is between.

To me, I'm already fed up with Continental tyres in general cz their weakness in Wet traction. Bought a car that comes with UC6, one of the worst tyres on wet in my experience, pros are it's quiet and ok for dry, but comes rain, its struggling. Read many user for MC6, similar feedback, better than UC6 obviously but rain, its struggle also, far off from its benchmark, the Michelin PS series.

Then the price. MC7, iinm losses to PS5 prices if pandai find at a good tyre shop. Especially the Oscar, iinm PS5 is similar or cheaper a bit vs MC7 from Continental tyre shop.

Actually, it all depends on our driving style. eco tyre or touring tyre definitely crap or trash if user push the tyre a bit. I drive my relative car which equipped with toyo cr1. the tyre exremely comfortable. no matter what road surface, even harsher tarmac, it will absorb road imperfect, perfectly. problem is u cannot feel the grip at all even u drive slow. and scary things is, if u push the tyre, u already feel ur car floating not planted to the road.

And I ask my relative about this, and he said, he is okay and from what I see, he definitely slowpoke driver. thats why I see he no complain. but I read review online, got few people skid already using this tyre. the tread pattern also dangerous. its so narrow.

So comfortable tyre is not for everyone. it will be so dangerous if people drive a bit fast. I also scared to use this eco tyre, as I love to have higher limit tyre eventhough I not drive fast.

Trying out this giti sport s2 to replace ps4 which has clocked 51k km. Using 45 series instead of stock 40 series for slight comfort. So fast quiet, have not tried corner or wet braking

This giti tyre is good. but dont know why, it is not famous at all here. I want to find replacement for my ps4. had few cycle use ps4.maybe will not go for ps5 as price already inflated kaw kaw. michelin increase any price also still people will buy. but alternative also not much la in uhp category.
