The best tires I've ever used are Michelin Pilot Sport 3. For daily driving and some occasional fast cornering action, these tires are excellent, rain or shine. Excellent grip and superb steering response. It's quite comfy too. The only downside is it's price, especially for 17" wheels and above. Hardcore drivers may not like their soft sidewalls though.

Oh, so Falken good tyres are FK series? So is not that bad after all but some said
Falken brand is the lowest quality tyre in overseas....:hmmmm2:
Not lowest quality but inexpensive compares to most brand. I like Falken Azenis (Not sure what model it is?) and Kumho XS or MX. Those are "grippy" tires for autox and track but not good in rain.
Very stiff side wall, so noisy and "bumpy". I have seen Dunlop Direzza DZ101 did very well after heat cycled. Advan tires are also grippy but more expensive.

Falken ZE-322 and ZE-522 are quite hopeless in wet. Old ZE-912 is not too bad.
I think Azenis series is their top of the range offering. I have used ST-115 and I could say
it's on the same level with Yokohama S.Drive. Aqua planing is very bad at 50% though.
FK-452 is fine but noisy.

AD-07 and 08 is damn stick in dry but the same cannot be said in wet. I have more confident to drive fast in wet with the S.drive compare to AD-08.
Good all round tyres are PS3. Grippy in both condition and still being comfortable. Prefer something cheaper like RE-002 for touge though.

Falken brand also have their range like BS having Turanza and Potenza. Falken range are Ziex and Azenis. Because they always market the Ziex range kao kao, not much mention about the Azenis.
Earlier days they did push the Azenis ST-115. I have used many sets of this, because money for value...Again like BS the Potenza have the high range and low range from RE-030 to RE-070 or S-001, the Falken Have PT and FK range.
Okay, better not confuse you too much....ha! ha!
Falken in UK listed in Mid with the likes of Toyo, Yoko, Hankook and Kumho

Exactly, one have to find the tyre that fits one priorities. Hardcore will go extreme tyres, but not good for daily drives...:driver:

If using Komho XS and MX series the Falken should be the RT-615 extreme series....:driver:

Yup, the ZE-322 and 522 are just budget range. ST-115 no more....and FK-452 directional now replace with FK-453 asymmetric....

FK-452


FK-453


Yah! now looks like CSC, HPY and so on....haha:biggrin:

Conclusion is PS3 is not really for track or race. More like daily drive car with good grip and comfort. Which is why the sidewall
was meant to be soft? I mean if hard, you wont feel your car is comfortable with PS3 yet has the good grip in both dry and wet.

RE002 is cheaper than PS3? RE002 might be better if you a bit more sporty-inclined I reckon?
Yah! as far as I know RE-002 not cheap either....

Best tyre ever used?
eagle f1 asymmetric 2(was recommended by our sifu vr2tubo)
much more superior if compared to michelin PS3, my cousin has an accord sv4 with 17 inch michelin ps3 tyres. I test drove his car, and i conclude that.
Eagles f1 asy 2 has better dry/wet grip, comfort, and is much quieter than PS3.(What im saying cant really be accurate because im comparing with 2 different cars, so suspension/chasis too might play a roll in grip)
The GYF1 feels like a leech sucking the road when your driving.
I previously used toyo tr1, when i upgraded to eagle f1 asy 2, seriously the handling was improved by 200%
downside is well, i feel that my FC has slightly increased :D probably due to larger rims so i cant really say.

i'm using Michelin Primacy 3ST is because of it's safety also..it can brek 3meters shorter compared to normal tyres on wet road and it is more silent, so that when my car has produced any sound, i can sense there is some problem and can send to mechanical faster. It's more friendly user. PASSENGER CAR TYRES can visit here to view it yourself
RIP English.

Any tyre will sure have some cons whether more or less only....:biggrin:
Yup, Asy2 are quiet. Since I have loud exhaust, I took a friend along, drive at certain speed, free the gear, wind down the window and listen. My friend who does not like noisy tyres commented very quiet....:biggrin:
Bad FC maybe gripping too well.....:driver:

Re: best tires that you ever used?

My answer:
1- Bridgestone Potenza RE-11; then followed by:
2- Dunlop Direzza Z1 starspec
3- Nitto Neogen
4- Kumho KU36

Oh yeah, all tyres were bought from kedaipotong, pricewise no problem.
