Tire changed - Michelin Pilot Sport 3

Got my tires changed yesterday at Michelin Tire shop opposite Tesco Ipoh.
I bought a used set of Advan Neova AD07 and went to Dato Sagor Circuit track day with my friends on last Sunday. I had lot of fun with AD07 and really satisfy with the grip of the Neova during the track day.
After the track day the front side of the tires has been worn out and the rubber surface already tear out too.
Rubber surface already tear out while still left about 2mm on the grooves
My Swift original tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE080 and it served me well even I track it once last year. Although the groove still have few mm before the safety mark I decided to get a set of new tires instead of putting it back. I had done 40k km on the RE080 and it still looks great.
My new tires Michelin Pilot Sport 3
195/55/R15 85V Treadwear 320 Traction AA Temperature A
 The grooves design
I got it at a price of RM280 a pcs in Ipoh which I think it was still reasonable.
After 20km of driving on the new PS3 on dry and wet road; the noticeable feeling is the tires is very quite.
From the review the PS3 got some good comment for the grip during dry and wet surface road.
I think it is a relative good daily driving tires.

hahaha, yes, very quiet when new, after a while it will get noisy but nevertheless, dry and wet driving are superb, u'll always feel confident driving on highway during heavy pouring
