Review
Performance tyres with the comfort and quietness of a comfort tyre. Grips the road like glue even on wet road. Steering remains firm even when driven through a deep puddle of water.
What I like
- Grips the road like glue
- Superb wet and dry weather grip
- Excellent cornering capability
What I do not like
- High wear rate
- Noisy as tyres wear out at 30,000km
- Lasts 40,000km only under normal non aggressive driving

Honda Odyssey
Review
This is my second set of the performance tyres with a switch to Yokohama DNA DB touring tyres in between.
I wanted to improve handling and comfort of my Odyssey which were often tyres' limitations on opposing ends.
Michelin Pilot Sports 3 (PS3) were better than the Yokohamas except a slight increase in tyre noise.
My requirement to drive in wet roads as confidently as in the dry have been met exceedingly.
Highly recommended.
What I like
- Dry and wet grip
- Better overtaking and cornering ability
- Sense of confidence and safety
What I do not like
- Slightly noisier than the Yokohamas
- Silica compound picks up road trash more than the Yokos

Review
Good braking distance especially on wet conditions. Strong gripping and better cornering compared to my previous tyres.
What I like
1) Better control of cars even at higher speed with good gripping.
2) Able to drive better in both wet & dry conditions.
What I do not like
A bit pricey better than other brands. In life, you pay for what you get. Never to save on something that concern lives.

Honda Vezel
Review
I upgraded to 225/45/R18 from my Vezel's stock 16" Dunlop Ecosave.
So far, it has better grip, better braking distance, noise level lower than my previous tyre.
What I like
- Control-wise is good due to the gripping even at high speed.
- Good for both dry & wet roads
- Can handle cornering quite well.
What I do not like
- Price (though tyres are quite important to me in terms of comfort & safety)
Good tyre!, reasonable price. All rounder choice | Posted on 27 Sep 2024 |

Toyota Vios
Review
Owned it currently on my Vios for over 25K and left with around 30%, should be able to last till 30K.
Genrally good all rounder performance. At the price (bought in Malaysia), I would say its a resonable buy.
The side wall is stiff so cornering is stable with this tyre, the only complain is slightly faster wear and tear compare to other tyres I used to own.
What I like
Good all rounders, stiff sidewall provides a good handling when performing sharp turn.
What I do not like
Wear and tear rate.

Kia Forte
Review
The reliable brand that have been on for a very long time since i was a kid.
Pilot sport 3 or ps3 in short really provide excellent grip in wet which was my key concern when i buy tyres, it is able to cut through water puddles in great confidence without any feel of pulling or feel jerky, it just as though it is just a normal dry road. it will perform good even when the tread is almost reaching the safety mark
Would recommend if anyone out there have the same concern as me
What I like
The excellent wet and dry.
Having great confidence during heavy rain down pour with many water puddles on the road not to worry out the car having any "pulling " feeling
What I do not like
The treadwear seems to wear out quickly with only about 25000 to 30000 km mileage clock and regular 5000km rotation and balancing.

but heard the wear and tear of this tyre is about 70%..
so will wait and see.

I have been using Michelin Pilot Sport3 tyres for 2 years, they are fantastic tyres!
Good in the dry, awesome in the wet, decent thread wear, excellent value for money.
At the time of trade in to PS4, I had done just over 20,000 kms on them and would have estimated at least another 30,000k left if the wear indicators were any guide.
Quiet, durable and a great performance tyre.
The Pilot Sport 4 has replaced these tyres but you can still buy the Pilot Sport 3 at certain tyre shops.
What I like
Quiet, durable and a great performance tyre.

Slightly higher noise at higher speeds. Faster wear and tear.

Have tried this set of tyres and they offer has good steering responsiveness, cornering grip and handling even driving at speed. Reasonable well aqua planning and they are really comfortable and quiet.
After driving for about 20,000 km, they seem to be moderately noisier, though sounding like wind noise and riding firmer as they wore down.
What I like
Good handling and steering responsiveness.
What I do not like
Noise experienced after wearing

Review
Very, very quiet! Smooth at all speeds up to 120kmph. Excellent dry and wet traction compared to stock tyres. Nice riding tyre, if a bit more firm than stock's, but that is what I wanted and no morning thump as some have suggested these are prone to. Balanced nicely, with one requiring no weights. A great tyre for the price!
What I like
Works silently and perfectly on the tarmac, providing smooth rides through the roads.
What I do not like
During wet conditions, these tyres tend to be slightly noisy. Doesn't bother me though.

Review
This tyre has phenomenal grip on both wet and dry roads. It has increased the limits of my car's ability to grip on the tarmac, taking corners aggressively and brake better than all the tyres i've used. These tyres had definitely put a smile on my face the moment I drove it out of the workshop. They are a little pricey, but you should never compromise safety! Apart from that, noise reduction is not the best, but still really is bearable. Overall, this is THE tyre you want. Benefits all kinds of drivers, especially spirited ones. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
What I like
Provides the extreme performance everyone wants!
What I do not like
Slightly pricey.
