After considering for a while, I think price was the determining factor. I saw on Tyrepac that Dunlop Direzza DZ102 size 245/40 x 17 were going for about $187. I called my regular tyre shop and fitted 2 for $170 each. Manufactured code is **3114! New stock.

This is about $75 cheaper than the Michelin PS3.

And less than half the price of the Continental CSC5 at $394

Based on the price, I am happy with the DZ102 since I do only city driving and very rarely out of Singapore.

Made in Thailand, perhaps that explains the cheaper price.

Not much review on this tyre as it is a new tyre so hopefully it is cheap and good.

So far, they seem pretty good both in the wet and dry. Took a corner and thought I felt the rear hopped a bit. I am going to think that perhaps it is still new and yet to settle down. They are quiet too.

So now I have 225/45 x 17 Continental CSC5 on the front (about 5 months old) and 245/40 x 17 Dunlop DZ102 on the rear.

Pumped 250 kpa (about 36 psi) and the ride is comfortable.

Those of you who want feedback a few months down the road, feel free to ask me.
