Good Day,
I would like to share some experience of my own. I been using few brands of tyres in market such as TOYO, YOKOHAMA, MICHELIN , GOOD YEAR, BRIDGRESTONE , SIME TYRES , etc. I'm a hardcore driver and heavy user too. Currently, i owned 2 cars, Daily transportation PROTON WAJA CAMPRO 1.6E, year 2007 and NISSAN SENTRA 1.8 XG-L, year 2007 too.

From all the ranges of tyres i only satisfied with only 1 brand and still stick to it even after i been changing more than 20 ++ tyres now for 2 years time. A year at least 8 nos of tyres due to my works that requires me to travel frequently outstation. Normally, for 10'000 km driving milleage is within 30 - 40 days only .

The brand i would like to recommend here is CONTINENTAL COMFORT CONTACT-1, the thread is thick and it works perfectly on dry and wet conditions. Tyres changing interval expected for hardcore user is at least 40,000 km plus if only you take care of the allignment and tyres pressure. Well, the most important is this tyres is cheaper and durable too. I been loyalty choosing this brand because it always up to my requirement no matter i'm cruising like a mad man even during heavy downpour too especially in Highway.

Only , tyres shop wouldn't recommend this type of tyres because of its unique characteristics of the tyres. The new tyres during the first 10'000km not comfort and you shall feel the allignment is disoriented no matter how you balance up the allignment , etc but later it works perfectly 100%.

Now, both of my car i'm using exactly the same type of tyres CONTINENTAL COMFORT CONTACT - 1.

Market price for 195/55/R15 should be from RM 150 - 180 per pc.

GOOD LUCK

From my own experience the tyres for 195/55/ R15 is high profile tyres which sacrifice ride comfort with more traction on the road. Disadvantage is tyre worn out prematurely due to high profile standard and bumpy ride too . Especially , Malaysia well known for pot holes. Might damage the rim too.

If i were you, my only choice for economical and comfort ride and without sacrificing lots of traction. The answer is 195 / 60 /R15. That's is my choice because i'm not really racing but seeking lower maitenance only.


Good Luck!
