Got a friend recently purchased Falken 912 for his Satria. When in the car, I think the tires are quite comfortable and he also said the grip is good. Price is affordable too. Maybe I'm switching to this for my car too.

Me normal driver only. Highway 130-140km/h only. I want comfort tire. Zoom down to either Yokohama or Falken. Hankook? First time heard that name, haha. Michelin too expensive for me lah, other ppl I know la print money everyday ;p

Senior Member 2,471 posts Joined: Jan 2003 From: Cheras	QUOTE(michael9413 @ Aug 13 2009, 09:56 AM) Yes Hankook, it is like Falken 912 in price range but better in handling and also it is directional thread... RM185 for 195/55 R15... not bad in term of performance vs price ration as PP2 at that size will cost you around RM240... you can try Primacy LC also from Michelin as the price range is around RM210... Hankook is cheapest but the cons is directional thread tends to creates more vocal than 2 of the Michelin PP2 and Primacy LC... Michelin have the good reputation in my heart as this Hankook V12 set that i'm using is the 1st set out of Michelin... It give me good confidence to corners until now in dry and wet also... not hard cornering... around 80km/h kua... PP2 give me more confidence indeed on handling and cornering... Aquaplaning also it is the best in the UHP range... trust me... PP2 will give you all they have even you reach the safety marks... My SEG PP2 once pass the safety mark i still drive around even heavy rains... although not pass 80km/h but it still give you the grip... Wow, thanks bro! That's a wealth of information. Anyway, the mere mention of "noise" or "more noisier than x-brand" will trigger a small alarm in me. Since I really want a quieter tire than my current Bridgestone Potenza RE080 (stock from Toyota). So any ranking of quietness from Yokohama to Falken to Hankook to Michelin?

I don't mind switching to 195 for slightly better handling (and infinitely small FC decrease). Driving style? Non-aggressive. Comfortable highway speed is 130km/h. I do notice 185/R15 tire is not too good when cornering at Karak highway. So what I want? Priority is Comfort. Then handling slightly better than Bridgestone Potenza RE080 is already OK (since I don't do sharp cornering every day).
