bro can recommend a comfort and silent tyre for me price within the toyo tyre..currently used toyo c1s 215/50/17..i think the tyre not too comfort and quite noisy as well...maybe because my spring too stiff..
wow... that size u want comfort??? how to give you??? all the size you get is performance tire which does not fit your requirement... downgrade to 16" get 205/60 R16 tires then u get comfort tires... ur else you can try Michelin Primacy LC... but the grip of course you might not get what you enjoy now with C1S...

Before my purchase, kumho categorized ku31 as summer tyre. In m'sia, the rain fall is no joke sometimes. We do get pretty wet condition as compared to other 4 season country. Is ku31 really suitable for wet n slippery road?
3% increase in fc is ok as long as i get more safety. No problem with that.
my fren we are using summer tires... as bro yngwie said... rain and snow is different...
all season tires must have some traction for snowy condition... us do not need it...
my fren finished 1 set of KU31 and say it is cheap and reasonable... performance is like 90% of PP2 but price is cheaper by RM30/pc... during the time he install la... now he also sold the Kenari away already...some more it is directional, if the rear axle tire wear outside he can flip over to other side to use...

the reason kumho categorized the ecsta ku-31 as a summer tire is mainly to suit the european market where there
are 4 season. unlike winter tire, summer tire class does not have a traction / grip on ice / frozen surface.
ie; ps3, v12, f1 asymmetric falls into summer tire category too.
raining and winter season is 2 different world.
