The Goodyears (F1 GS-D3), Bridgestones and Michelin PS2's have all at various times been the top tire in this category on the TireRack survey. They are all great tires. What's most interesting is the number of reported user miles that make up the numbers. The Goodyears have far and away the largest number of reported miles (over 15,000,000) compared to the next best PS2. This number helps lends some weight to the rating (i.e. with a smaller sample set the tire rating is more susceptible to getting an unfairly low or unreasonably high rating, with the larger sample size the ratings should even out a little more over time).

Keep in mind that TireRack only report on products they sell (so most of the majors are covered, the usual suspects plus Continental, Pirelli etc) but some other excellent tires from the likes of Toyo and others will not appear because TireRack don't sell 'em)
right I keep that in mind for my next tyre change.
thanks for the info

You might find suggestions relevant to your local market in the Thai sub-forum.
