Mounted 3 years ago and clocked at 30,000km.

First off the PS4 is an excellent all rounder performer both in wet and dry conditions and it is the best tyres I’ve used in terms of outright performance. In fact the tryes are still performing like when it was new....impressed!
Now the issue with it is that once it’s passed 70% wear road noise get’s progressively louder. Wear rate is now at est. 40% and it’s a racket! It’s started to have the known issue of the tyres(front) chunking(rubber breaking off from the thread) as well. This tyre wear rate is high.

I don’t really drive aggresively but do ocassionaly enjoy a few hard corners here and there and that’s it.

What I’m looking for is a tyre that I won’t be disappointed for wet and dry conditions and isn’t noisy. Please recomemnd a tyre thar's close in performance to the PS4 without the issues I stated above.
PS, I do understand that it’s a compromise as a quieter tyre will reduce the performance of the tyre.

Thanks.

Hi there, based on your requirements pilot sport 5 seems to be the natural solution. I have not seen much pilot sport 5 data in Asia but based on Pilot Sport 4 vs MC6 there were quite close with MC6 being more comfortable

I had a quick check on other options with the table below

There is also Primacy 4 which in my eyes is better, you can check out the comparison below. it's also slightly cheaper than PS5

Hope this helps
