Expensive in Malaysia is Michelin, Pirelli and Continental too.
Yup, extreme nowadays have deeper and more groove pattern so it is in between semi and Max. Semi pattern really very little one....
The most suitable tyre

In Malaysia Pirelli is expensive.
T1-Sports, the new asymmetric pattern....
There is another Proxes 1 but not in Toyo my website.
RA1 is competition tyres....

GY is middle la except maybe the Assy2 but the rest are cheaper than Michelin. For example my 215/50/17 F1-D5 is around rm400 but the same size and category Michelin PS3 costs about 500+.
R888 are semi slicks. Proxes 1 is Max together with T1-Sports, but sits above it....

F1-D5 is cheaper range. PS3 is Asy 2 range for comparison....
I think R888 higher. RA1 even though also for competition have pattern, probably different application...
U cant judge by this way, each pattern have their own characteristic.
Example
R888 - Maximum in Dry performance, but will loss control in wet.
R1R - Good in Dry performance, as well as wet condition.
T1S - More suitable to continental car (high torque) like VW, BMW, Mercedes ....
T1R - Overall performance tyre, good in dry or wet.
There are no THE BEST TYRE, only have the best tyre fit your requirement.
Think deeply, Why tyre maker create so many different pattern/category ?
Because every user need are different.
i always need to go outstation like from KL to JB, or to Penang.. so luckily i have my most satisfied tires so far.. which is michelin ps3.. no problem in going high speed on highway, cornering in high speed is superb, and sensitive braking system!
But it's the same performance class: traction AA, tread wear low 300. (D5 300, PS3 320)....
F1-D5 is cheaper range. PS3 is Asy 2 range for comparison....
Asy 2 also does not have that size while both D5 & PS3 are available in a very wide range of sizes even down to 15'.
Before Asy and Asy 2 there was F1 GS-D3 in 15". Asy was design for Max performance so sizes starts at 17" and 45 series aspect ratio. To cater for 15", you get F1-D5 only.
You cannot judge tyre category by threadwear and traction rating. Achilles ATR Sports also Traction AA woh!

ATR sports Traction AA but threadwear 420 I think
PP2 is which category? Since also Traction AA haha!
I remember F1-D5 get quite a lot of negative feedback. Seems a lot came back saying not good?
PP2 is below PS3, kind of same with F1-D5. F1-D5 okay mah! but of course below Asy2....ATR sports Traction AA but threadwear 420 I think

Too much thing to be worried. Might as well enjoy the drive.
If want to get worried, there are more things than Summon Tickets alone.
What if the car from opposite fly over to my lane?
What if someone rear ended me when I'm driving?
What if I accidentally rear ended the car in front?
What if the overhead bridge fall on my car when I go pass it?
What if I hit and kill a bird?
Too many What if...just enjoy the drive.
Just have to make sure car is in good condition and choose a suitable tyre that can take such beating.
Too many what if, then stay home......Too much thing to be worried. Might as well enjoy the drive.

Well those are the only available specs but yeah maybe below but I think slightly only, still almost comparable. Asymetric tires with the same rating theoretically should have more grip due to bigger outside blocks.
I don't trust Achilles yet though. :D The cheapest tire I still trust so far is GT Radial which maybe will be my next purchase for replacement (but depending on available budget during purchase).
PP2 is also almost the same class I think, asymetric with treadwear also even lower if I'm not mistaken (<300). I used the first PP and very satisifed with it, very good dry & wet grip and quite silent as well.ATR sports Traction AA but threadwear 420 I think

Well to me D5 is actually pretty good performance tire for the money, maybe only beaten by GT Radial HPY coz that one is cheaper. Dry and wet grip is very good and handling quite predictable. To me the main downsides are a bit noisy and directional pattern hence not easy to rotate.

Yes 280 Threadwear. Really like the dry and wet grip. Wanted to try ATR K Economist which is actually RM100 cheaper per piece if compare to PP2. Specs looks and sounds good but just doubt it will be as good as PP2. So, kinda more like "have to try to find out".
Looks like is Symmetrical Pattern.
Since PP2 only have size for Kelisa and no other, worried that it will stop production one day as well. Makes me feel to get it again while they are still producing it. Only try other tyres once they stop producing it
ATR K Sports threadwear don't look good on wet also got feedback best not to exceed 60 when it is raining even the size of the tyre is small but aquaplanning is not good. Well, can't expect to have good aquaplanning with that kind of thread patterns.
Well, use according to what the tyres are designed for. PP2 pay high price for good performance. You skim RM100 per tyre then don't expect what PP2 can give to you, but what K Economist can offer. Anyway the name speaks for itself "Economist" not "Performist".....hahhahahhaha
Even my friend on his EvoX on extreme tyres drives below 80kph when rain....

But need to use lightweight rims, if not FC and weight of the car affected But 165/50/15 no PP2, so I'll stick to current size
Ya, he was asking me what to take extra caution when going there, until he mention u will be there, then I say nothing else to worry when having u there haha!
I found a review on which shop to go for on Tyres but more to Rims especially. But 2009 post though. Will post up later as a guide on where and what to do when sourcing rims.

last time while doing allignment at a shop in Lukut PD i saw a semi slick tyre in ver small size.

closer inspection reveal it was 14 inch.not sure what brand but there is ATR written on the side.was abt to walk away when i recall i have a blm with stock rim at home...end up staring at the tire for few minutes.
