Suzuki Swift 1.5 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta PS31 given 79% (225-45-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 2000 spirited miles
I enjoy driving fast and cornering fast in Genting Highlands. Changing from Re003, first thing i noticed is how comfortable this PS31 is. Side walls are significantly softer and significantly less road nice. Bad thing is, my car lost the sharpness from the initial turn of the wheel. Not to say that this tire is not grippy, its just that it doesnt feel as sharp as the re003, Grip is fine during hard cornering. Just a little sad that i lost the sharpness of the re003. Conclusion? Buy this if you touge on the weekends and daily drive the same car to work. This tire is good considering the price.

Writing about the Achilles 123S given 71% (195-50-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1000 spirited miles
Been using it for a while, good choice for low budget, amazing dry grip but really slippery on wet track (i have to lower the pressure to maintain optimal grip on wet surface), worn out easily(a bit softer compund maybe?), bit noisy(a lot less noise than the predecessor 123), but overall its good because of the value for money, would buy again, shred your tire not your wallet

If your stuck with limited budget, grip level so and so...this is the tire for you. Noisy as hell after being used 1 year. My advice if comfort is your choice then avoid choosing this tire.

Writing about the Barum Brillantis 2 given 41% (185-60-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
Awful very dangerous tire no grip in the wet like driving on ice.
Average to poor in the dry.
Breaks away easily on roundabouts even in the dry if slihtly pushed.

Had used many different brands and models of tires.
Till date, this tire at its price is one of the best performances for me.

Writing about the Nexen CP641 given 43% (225-45-17-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 10000 easy going miles
I somehow stuck with these tires for 10,000 miles. They were new on the car when I bought it. The wear rate is very good, I'd guess left on the back of my car they would have done 50,000 miles plus.

The major drawback is no wet grip. I have fairly reasonable expectations of tires on wet roads, I know there is a lot less grip available but these Nexen tires are really poor. In a straight line they are just about acceptable but as soon as you ask them to turn and brake or accelerate at the same time there is no grip at all. Huge wheel spin in 2nd on part throttle (I'd don't have a powerful car or drive it hard). On the brakes the ABS will trigger as if you are on ice.

I've just replaced these tires for some new mid-range ones of a different brand and the difference is huge.

Writing about the Marshal KH35 given 100% (185-60-15-H)
Driving on a combination of roads for 20 easy going miles
I have had these tires on all 4 wheels and iI have driven over 20,000 miles and they have plenty of miles left on them, the only problem I had was that my tracking was out and this has left one tire a bit low on the shoulder but I still have well over 1,000 miles left easily, I reckon that the mactrac kh35 is not a budget it is just a name that someone has stuck on the tire, it gives great comfortable good gripping in wet/dry and snow and great wear, best tire I ever bought and I will be getting them on any car I buy as long as they are still being made. these reviews that show extremely bad or poor points are probably placed by some young boy racers that like to drive around corners and roundabouts at 40 miles an hour just to hear their tires squeal, so ignore all the stupid lousy bad reviews, I am just an ordinary driver and I drive the way that I should drive "IN A SENSIBLE MANNER" so if you nwant a tire that is good value for money, gives good wet/dry/snow gripping, great mileage, comfort, handling get the marshall mactrac kh35 and I am sure you will agree with me. THIS IS A REAL REVIEW FROM A REAL PROPER DRIVER
