Using this on my Charade 185/60/14. Dry is same as my previous Pirelli.. nothing to shout about.... but wet is very good. Tried it on highway raining time, no regret taking this. Another contender is the Yokohama ES100, but I think G3 is more sporty.
FYI, I tried ES100 on a wira.

Previously i was quoted RM280-290 each for a Potenza GIII sized 205/40/17 83W rated. As for 16" sized 205/45/16 i've no idea but for 195/50/15 82V rated, it's going for RM190 each.

Made In Thailand? because i was quoted RM190 but made in thailand so i ended up buying a cheaper one... since i kinda rough use...

no doubt, my ES100 (becoming semi-slick to slick tyres, before i change) is soooo good and it is still better than my new four tyres

last year i bought at RM210 with 195/55/15

and Potenza GIII would be cost a bomb if it is made in Japan

hi,

i'm using it....225/55/16 Made in Japan. I think grip & aqua planning good but little bit noisy

 

[TiBuN]

Noise is there. Directional tyre, I think must have 1 lah... If really want quiet 1 you can try Michellin Pilot Preceda, asymetrical. Should be quiet. Or Energy XM1.

If your driving preference is spirited / enthusiastic, then I would say this tyre is sufficient enough. Nankang i hear bad comment on autoworldforum. Ventus is also a good tyre in terms of grip. But i dunno about the treadwear... Falken 512 izzit? Initially wanted to go for that, but in the end decided to go for G3 cause it's newer. Toyo Trampio ?

Was using 2nd hand GIII made in Japan.. good. Now using Advan Neova AD07 new rubbers. much better in dry grip. Bought mine for RM220 a piece (14")

 

[satria_95]

I'm using a pair of Potenza GIII on my fronts. The grip is alright, I guess. I only tried the grip once after I changed my front abs and springs. Tried a bit of spin around the sunway "industrial" area, where all the car workshops are. Quite good grip. Grip on wet? Didn't try because my rear tyres ain't good anymore.
Got it at Kota Kemuning in Klang for RM178 per piece, 195/50/R15.

One advice to anyone who wants to change tyres in Klang.
If you DO NOT know the people who sells the tyres, just change the tyres there and that's it. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT let the mechs there drive your car for a test run after they put the wheels back on your car. I'm sorry to say but majority of malaysian workshops has earned themselves of being fucking vehicle abusers when it comes to testing customer's cars. So just get the tyres changed, have it installed, and do the alignment / balancing / etc. at your friends place. If not, find a friend who knows someone who does alignment / balancing / etc.
