MC5 they don't push also got sales dy, many cars are fitted as OEM tyres as many owners usually go back to OEM tyres.....lolYes even they put CPC5 in the Malaysian website, but in reality they don't seem to really bring in but instead just keep offering MC5. Primacy 4 & FK510 also are not yet available here. I'm really curious to try the FK510 actually.
MC6 are in UK, so far 1 review only and not good in wet, got to wait for others to try.....lolThe problem with MC6 is that the tire is made available for Malaysian market only hence no comparison reviews in the global market. So got not much idea how it stacks up against PS4 & the likes, while CPC6 can be compared globally. I personally would not just trust Continental Malaysia claiming that MC6 is as good as PS4 if there's no neutral trustworthy comparison done hence MC6 is not yet in my list to try.
Next tire change I'll be on the look out for the FK510, hopefully by then it's already available/easier to find. It's a pity if they don't bring in this model to Malaysia. Otherwise I'd get the Hankooks, either V12E2 or S1E2. That is if I got no budget for the PS4. I also hope the PS4S will later be available in 18' so maybe I straight away just get that one if I got budget instead of the PS4.
I wouldn't bother about the Primacy 4 since its not gonna be cheap. The FK510 would be damn interesting. But you are right, can't find it here in Malaysia. Under-steery according to the review, not a problem on a RWD car. And I suppose if the price is 20% cheaper than the PS4, can definitely consider.Yes even they put CPC5 in the Malaysian website, but in reality they don't seem to really bring in but instead just keep offering MC5.

That is not review by professional/reputable media so I'm taking those with a pinch of salt.MC6 are in UK, so far 1 review only and not good in wet, got to wait for others to try.....lol

I doubt PS4S will come in smaller sizes, they have PS4 for that. More over PSS the tyre they replace did not have small size too. Reserve for Super cars. Anyway, in the video he mention very slight difference only against PS4, I think only the cost is in your way.....lol
Yes, I'm also not interested on the Primacy 4 coz most likely you can get Hankook V12E2 which is UHP level for cheaper price!I wouldn't bother about the Primacy 4 since its not gonna be cheap.

I still take real world users reviews but not from one or two. Best is many users reviews then average out their comments. If mostly good can consider, even if 50/50 I won't bother.....lolThat is not review by professional/reputable media so I'm taking those with a pinch of salt.
I don't bother reading random people reviews coz I don't know how good they drive and how much they push the tires, and most of them don't. If you take those random reviews and their average stats, even crap tires might come out on the better side due to sheer volume of people simply preferring to buy as cheap as possible and trying to justify their purchase! There's no reliable direct comparison as well. Furthermore, just too many to read if got a lot!I still take real world users reviews but not from one or two.

Professional test only when tyres are new. Real world users review until they are bald. When Autoworld forum was popular time, which I was in most of the time those days, members feedback were pretty accurate. Good results for Falken ZE-912 and when they change the compound, reviews changed. There were also not good reviews on the NCT5 and so on.....lolI don't bother reading random people reviews coz I don't know how good they drive and how much they push the tires, and most of them don't.

Reviewing until they're bald is more about durability and noise level which I'm not so concern about. I'd just rely more on the tread wear rating to judge more or less how long they'd last. Noise, I don't even care. I just assume tires if new are good or winning many comparison tests, then they should be relatively better too during their lifetime in terms of performance. There was an article by Michelin also posted in that Tyre Review UK website stating that good performance tires even already <50% left are in general still better than relatively new but low end tires.Professional test only when tyres are new.
