Recommendation on replacement of Michelin PS4

Car: Mazda3 2.0 (2012)
Size: 215/45/17
Mounted 3 years ago and clocked at 30,000km.

First off the PS4 is an excellent all rounder performer both in wet and dry conditions and it is the best tyres I’ve used in terms of outright performance. In fact the tryes are still performing like when it was new....impressed!
Now the issue with it is that once it’s passed 70% wear road noise get’s progressively louder. Wear rate is now at est. 40% and it’s a racket! It’s started to have the known issue of the tyres(front) chunking(rubber breaking off from the thread) as well. This tyre wear rate is high.

I don’t really drive aggresively but do ocassionaly enjoy a few hard corners here and there and that’s it.

What I’m looking for is a tyre that I won’t be disappointed for wet and dry conditions and isn’t noisy. Please recomemnd a tyre thar's close in performance to the PS4 without the issues I stated above.
PS, I do understand that it’s a compromise as a quieter tyre will reduce the performance of the tyre.

Thanks.

Enkei RPF-1

Hi all,

I’m interested in the Enkei RPF-1(17x7.5 +42) and I’m quite concerned about getting a dud(China made).

I am looking for a replica as i was told that the ones from Thailand are well made by the SSW factory. I don’t want the Japan made one as that would be way too costly.

There are 2 shops(Apex and Hup Shun) offering these wheels in Sunway between rm1300-1550.

Are these shops trustworthy?

How do I tell if the wheels are truly made in Thailand?

Who are on these Thailand made RPF-1, and have you been happy with them?

Thanks!
