How much is the D5 and PS3 for 205/45/16 or 205/50/16? Tyres need to be changed soon. Currently on Yoko A-Drive.

I have used both PS3 & F1 D5 on 195/55/15..

All I can say.. because price wise is not much different between both for this size.. PS3 >>> F1 D5

I'm a bit disappointed with F1 D5 as I had high hopes..
aquaplaning is no where near PS3
braking also not as good
noise? about the same
F1 D5 feels more comfy
handling? D5 sometimes a bit squirmy.. i don't know but i prefer PS3.

Maybe for bigger size when price is taken into consideration, maybe F1 D5 seems like a good buy, but when both prices are close it's a no brainer actually.. PS3 wins hands down. (i know a lot of ppl hate PS3 coz of its price, but its a good tire really).

i would rate F1 D5 just above average.

I installed F1 D5, so far so good. Reason I did not wish to go back to PS3 is due to the rubber flaking off, although it did not affect performance, though I kept imagining a tyre explosion.

Yeah, price wise, PS3 and F1 D5, especially at 15" size is negligible.

I'm going for F1 D5 as well. One question though -- on GY website, the size for 15" is 195/50/15 but ZTH price list have 195/55/15 on it. Both sizes available?

Yup, PS3 for this size around that price too....
I was quoted RM235 for D5 and RM265 for PS3 for the 195/50/15 size. That's from a GY dealer. Weird thing is PS3 got ready stock, D5 have to put deposit and come back next day. :P

For RM265 can get 195/55R15 already. 50 series is cheaper.
Probably they stock PS3 because selling better.

That's what i thought also. Any shops to recommend for those D5s in PJ? Somehow I still prefer GY but would go for 55 ones. :P
