Well it actually depends. Doesn't need to relate to your attitude all the time. but maybe to some people yes. As in, some people like to drive fast but concern safety too. For that case, i would pick Michelin PS3 tyre. It has good brake grip, fuel efficiency, and really smooth using it. So business man who enjoy speeding in high way, but also concern about comfortable and safety, i would recommend them on Michelin Tyre.

actually in malaysia, it is better to hv tires that have good grip in wet and dry condition.. rather pay more for safety .. you know accident happens most of the time and u coulda avoid it.

Grip is good on both wet & dry. However, initially had problems with the tires when new. Vibrations at certain speed range. No alignment nor balancing (on & off wheel) got rid of the vibrations. Had the new tires swapped & so far ok. But to get a 1 to 1 replacement was quite an experience. Not sure if its a bad batch or a design/compound problem. Wear rate (front - 225/40/18: currently clocked 30k km and still going strong. rear - 255/35/18: recently changed at 25k km). Once below 40% thread, you will notice a drop in grip. So don't wait until the final hour to change your tires.
