By the way, I don't know if I should give Hankook V12 a try or not. Currently I find the PS3 to be quite good overall even when mine is now about 40% left. From a lot of reviews, the V12 will not be so comfortable as it wears down? :hmmmm:
V12Evo also comfortable, some mention due to directional pattern and if wear uneven will be more noisy only... However if PS3 becomes too expensive then V12 can be next choice...

Based on the recent tire price list for 195/55/R15, V12 is about RM240 while PS3 should be able to get it around RM280. For a set of tires, PS3 will cost around RM120 more, which I think should still be within my budget range.

In this case, I should go for PS3 since PS3 as an all-rounder will just be slightly better than the V12 right?

Got one friend using both on different cars, to him V12 also good.....

UK Tyre review
2013 Auto Review Performance Summer Tyre Test | the online tyre guide

Not sure why they use V12 against these heavy weight like Asy2, CSC5, Sportmaxx RT, because should be S1Evo job...:hmmmm:
hen can consider for my kelisa next change on V12. Depending whether the cost of it close to PP2 or not :rofl:

The Hankook V12Evo 15 inch RM240 is the same price as my 14 inch PP2 if not wrong :rofl:

I am using PS3 now, it is a good tyre -- best street tyre I have used so far. But it doesn't wear gracefully. I would NOT go for PS3 again. When changing, its going to be GY F1 GSD5.

Back then I got it for RM220 each. 195/50 R15.

Hi, I would like to recommend you michelin XM2 which it gives you quiet ride, good in both dry and wet, and it can last quite long (claimed by michelin). Besides, it's a soft compound tyre. But, it's abit pricey compare to other brands such as yokohama A-drive and C-drive.
Hey fren dont waste money on michelin tyre.for me this is a failure tyre.1st time i use michelin make me 4 time almost being send to hell.not my suspension problem the tyre make my car turn round on a corner with just 40kmh speed.this happen on 2nd day of cny.then happen again in genting when downhill.i already slow the speed to 20kmh to turn the corner but my car turning again.im using cdrive now.really a good tyre wet or dry also grip.

No problem for me at genting downhill with friends. Stock suspension. XM2 Michelin. Go down hill at genting also not a problem. Grips are fine and yet is not new.

Wouldnt say XM2 is a good tyre but good enough if you are not using for track or hardcore touge.

Btw, what michelin are u using?

My kelisa is also on michelin tyres.

Are you sure 20km/h also car turning... Definitely not tyre problem but is the driver problem...Even i see reckless driver with conti CC5 whack corner with 70km/h without any issue during raining day.
