Hi tyre specialist, are these tyre still usable for another 1 year? Just barely reach 5 years of manufactured age, already can see the skin wrinkles...

Looking for 185/60/15 tires for my VW Polo. Slightly aggressive driving. Higher priority for wet/dry grip.

Looked at Michelin. Only XM2+ seems to have this size. PS3 and Primacy 4 no size.

Any other good recommendation for me? Thanks.

You want PS3 can go for 195/55/R15 size.
I'm ex Polo Sedan owner.

Thanks for giving me a different angle to look at.

Going down that path of using different size, I suppose Primacy 4, 195/60/R15 will also work, with no impact on the speedometer or mileage. Just wider, same diameter. Pricier though.

195/60/R15 will be the upper borderline for this upsize, usually Polo/Polo Sedan owner goes for 195/55/R15... Indian Vento group yes I saw they using 195/60 to suits their harsh road condition.

But why you want Primacy 4? Primacy 4 isn't sporty tyre to fit your requirement, more towards comfort but wet handling I heard isn't exceptional as PS series.
