Toyo Trampio
165/60/R14
RM130/piece
- Road noise is reduced. Good aquaplaning resistance. Dry grip is ok. Good OEM replacement for smaller cars.
Advan Neova AD07
205/45/R16
RM300/piece
- Loud on the road. Very tricky to drive in the wet; aquaplanes easily. Dry grip is incredible. Extremely stiff sidewalls contribute to steering responsiveness. However, there's very little audible screeching before it loses traction in the dry. Wears down very quickly.
Hankook RS2
185/50/R15
RM200/piece
- Overall feels very similar to the AD07 above, but with slightly reduced grip levels. Softer sidewalls. Compound does not hold up well to higher powered vehicles (>200+hp) during track applications. My RS2's started to tear down to the thread during a track day in Pasir Gudang.
Toyo Vimode
205/45/R16
RM250/piece
- Good wet and aquaplane grip. So-so in the dry; softer sidewalls than AD07 and less grippy. Overall a good OEM replacement tyre. Silent until half-wear.
Toyo Proxes R888
185/50/R15
RM280/piece
- Semi slicks for track/competitive use only. Corners like rails in the dry. Prepare to have nice compound spray patters around your fenders and front doors after a hot day at the track. 7/10 in the wet. Forget any aquaplaning resistance. Noisy as they should be.
Bridgestone RE-01R
195/55/R16
RM300+/piece
- Very good aquaplane resistance and wet grip. Dry is similar to the RS2's. Didn't use the tyres long enough as I sold the car shortly after getting the tyres.
Bridgestone RE040
185/55/R15
Price unknown, came with car
- Ok aquaplaning resistance, decent dry grip (7.5/10). Wet grip a bit uncertain. Road noise is quite loud.
actually the AD07s are not that bad in wet... maybe in the extreme wets where there are deep standing water it suffers a bit lar... but it still should perform well in both dry and wet conditions as it is still meant for street and not competition use...165/60/R14

i didn't have much tyres that last me long enough.. my current set is a el-cheapo Continental Comfort Contact... bought around same time now last year and going to change soon... the kevlar going to pop out soon... roughly 14000KMs... did not rotate front and rear... just left and right once every 2 or 3 months... if i did front and rear... i will need to change the whole 2 pairs in another half a year or so... now i am only changing 1 pair...
noise level considered ok
grip so-so (dry)
grip considered not ideal for many (wet)
price - cheap
value for money - excellent (at least for me
