Can you share with us the basics of tire thread patterns which contributes to what performance criteria?
Especially, aquaplanning, dry grip, wet grip, road noise.

QUOTE(MazeLoL @ Jul 28 2022, 11:54 AM) Hi , TS what do you think about Falken FK510 for 215/45/R17 as im currently on RE004 and it kinda noisy especially near end of their life, it last me 50k Km FK510 strong points are wet grip & aquaplaning resistance. I'm currently using it on 225/45R19.Since it is a UHP tire too, you can expect it to be considerably noisy. |

QUOTE(R____C @ Nov 16 2022, 09:48 PM) Owning a kei-car and the standard size is 165/50R16 but unable to find a shop that selling this size? Is there any way to purchase it locally? Or should I opt to change to a new rim with a more common size? Did you ask the shops if they could take a pre order? But this might not be a cheaper option.In the long run, it could be cheaper & more convinient of you opt for a common tyre size (need to change your wheels/rims). Imagine, in an emergency where one of your tyres are badly punctured or exploded & needs to be replaced, you have to wait for a long time for a replacement, unless you buy them in bulk & keep as spares (which is also another inconvenience). |

QUOTE(zoixc @ Jan 11 2023, 11:59 PM) This is so that your rear tires to have more grip than the front.This is to provide vehicle stability & prevent oversteer or tailspin in case your car loses traction when driven a bit hard. If new tires/grippier tires are placed on the front, there will be a risk of oversteer. If new tires/grippier tires are placed on the rear, there will be a risk of understeer instead. For a typical driver, it is easier to recover from an understeer than an oversteer situation during driving. |

QUOTE(epjx31 @ Jan 17 2023, 02:01 PM) Based on my price table, here are some options. Continental UC7 should have that size, right?Name Tire Size Price(RM) Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 225/40R18 1110 Kumho Ecsta PS31 225/40R18 435 Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 225/40R18 475 Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE004 225/40R18 479 Continental Max Contact 6 225/40R18 618 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/40R18 (NEW PS5) 835 Would say MC6 or PS5 is quiet. But those are easily +200/300 more What about Yokohama Advan Apex V601? This tyre was reviewed to be a "quiet tyre" even though it is an Extreme Performance tyre. It was reviewed to be quieter than Michelin PS4 |

QUOTE(6UE5T @ Jan 18 2023, 11:57 AM) V601 is still UHP like PS4. AD08/9R and A052 then are extreme. Anyway this V601 seems excellent in performance for UHP at least in the dry cuz I got a friend using on his 86 and it performs well on touges. This tire is cheaper than Falken FK510 now. About rm100 per piece cheaper for 19 inch size.Planning to change to this from my current FK510. |

QUOTE(((Xa))0102 @ Feb 28 2023, 08:55 PM) Coming from Primacy 4, after using them for 3 years; previously was on PS4 which only lasted me 2 years - I'm deciding between the Michelin Primacy 4ST, Continental UC7, Continental MC6 and the Kumho HS52. Try Yokohama Advan Apex V601.The PS5 is very tempting, with the steering feel, ZR rated (I do a lot of 200kmh driving) and overall performance. What's turning me off is the road noise, rolling resistance and the relatively short longevity, not really useful when I do KL JB commutes majority of the time. I don't skimp on tires, but I value safety, quietness and longevity these days. Which one should I go for? 215/55/17 btw It is a UHP tire with low noise. Not sure about longevity |

QUOTE(light_up @ Mar 8 2023, 01:39 PM) PS4 should be superior.Yokohama Advan Apex V601 strong points are more affordable, dry grip & low noise. This tire is much cheaper than Falken Azenis FK510. FK510 strong points are wet grip & aquaplaning resistance. |
