UC7 vs PS5. Which one is better?

plan to go for PS5, but if UC7 better, than will go for UC7

Meaning this uc is not superior than ps

Hi guys, im writing this inside my car on a highway just to help others who’s looking to know how does it perform and not doing the same mistake as me.

Well.. with a bit of regret, Continental UC7 is the noisiest tyre i had ever used the sound rating for this one is like 9/10 noisiest. I used cpc2 before and thought that was noisy too but this new fella supposedly with new n improve thread is better but it is NOT!

My head hurts from the loud bass humming inside the car coming from the tyres, i thought only when driving slow it’s noisy… lo and behold! the faster u drive the worst they get. I cranked up my music also tak boleh counter weh!!!

Grip is good but doesnt compensate with the sound it produce! My biggest regret is this. RM320 for each too! Should have gotten me a bloody falken which is far more quieter!

TLDR: Everyday you drive the tyres will remind you of your disappointment in loud humming ambience almost mocking you to eternity.

Anyone knows if tyre shop allow for exchange?

Hi gentlemen, any recommendation shop / online shop in KL area for UC7 225/60R17?

Thanks!

Would like to know how is uc7 compare to primacy 4? What are the pro and cons for these 2 tyres

Hi may I know which shop you go to? Looking for cheap UC7 as well.

For me the noise UC7 is noticeably quieter than primacy 4.

May I ask in terms of steering feedback and sharpness, is there a difference between the Primacy 4 and UC7 and if yes which is better? When you turn the steering wheel, you feel the vehicle respond better and more accurately as opposed to a looser feel ie. not very accurate.

Thanks. Good to know that the UC7 is not only close to Primacy 4 in quietness but also feels slightly sharper or with almost same steering feel and performance. I've used Primary 3ST long time ago and it's a good tyre in terms of handling and low noise, more than 10 years ago but have not chosen Michelin since then since the price is always higher when compared to other alternatives which also provide good performance and value.

My vehicle is on UC6 and on a Youtube review of that same vehicle on UC6 it was mentioned that the tyres are crap in handling and noise when he drove up to Genting Highlands.  I was wondering if the UC7 will be an improvement over UC6 if I intend to change tyres in say 3 to 4 years time. Apart from the UC7, the Goodyear Eagle F1 Sport is another alternative.

The guy who commented that the UC6 is crap has the Michelin PS5 on the vehicle, reported to have much improved handling and lower noise, a remark that is contradictory since a good handling/performance tyre usually has higher noise although I know that some will have the best of both worlds, usually costly.

By the way, do you have experience with Ultra Racing strut bars? It's another topic but thought of posting a new thread on this later.

The guy on Youtube also installed some Super Circuit bars on the car apart from changing the tyres from 16" to 17" Michelin PS5 for improved handling of the car.
