i think the problem is this requirement.

most, if not all comfort tires (soft compound) would not be able to properly last that high of a mileage and even if they do, their comfort/low noise would have been diminished somewhere around the 30-40k km mark.

I second this.

My old CC5 3xk, also...and the noise started b4 that. Maybe it would help if i had follow the regular rotation religiously and the tyres would last longer. For my new tyres, i am definitely rotating them every 10k or 1 year.

Hankook Ventus S1 Noble2 looks interesting. Comfort biased, high threadwear rating (500), and not too expensive.

US review:

available locally..

Given comfort over durable I will prefer comfort...

i agree comfort tyre general soft and wear out faster...

my GY Eagle i dislike it on the 1st ride itself, d noise is annoying.....

to the sifus, Yoko Advan DB vs Toyo C1S... what would d diff? d price is almost rm100 diff... thanks to all

then give yokohama Advan DB a try.
Advan lineup is Yokohama's flagship/top of the line, it basically represents the brand (notice some ah bengs sticking huge Advan stickers on their windscreen but don't even have Advan Tires? lol)

Toyo on the other hand would be considered the underdog among Japanese tire brands (along with it's subsidiary Nitto)
If you're on a budget, Toyo won't disappoint either however i firmly believe if you're willing to fork out a little more, Yokohama should offer that little extra that for some, it's a make or break whether a tire meets their expectations or not.

to put in perspective, see how a cheaper low/mid range c drive 2 is beating the toyo on comfort:

http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Yokohama/C-Drive2.htm
advan db is yokohama's flagship/high end tire, should be fair to say it is more comfortable/quiet. (the model/product name is decibel to begin with lol)
read the review comments especially on c1s, you'd be surprise (i know i am lol)

quick google/info: http://www.rankingthebrands.com/The-Brand-...92&nav=category
bridgestone is Japan #1 and in fact, World #1.
My favor towards Yokohama is that their marketing throughout SEA/Oceania region is very aggressive and have very competitive pricing compared to the competition.

just curious, your GY eagle f1 is directional 5 or Asymmetric 2? Asymmetric 2 should not be uncomfortable/noisy at all though if it's a D5, it's perfectly understandable.

Thanks a lot on your input bro, i really appreciate it... ... i will ask my frequent tyreshop if they can get Advan DB, cox they r Michellin n Toyo kaki.. Yoko can try

and my GY is D5... .... so u know my pain now..hahaha....... ..

apart from comfort the D5 really worth each penny spent, d performace, control, frim grip on rain n sunshine n durability... just tht it fails my top priority, ie comfort....... at 80k km now and still 10% left... giving that i did rotation balancing alligment on every 10k without feel.

You're welcome

Well directional tires usually offer better handling, at the expense of lousy nvh. So yea very understandable lol.

Thunderer Mach IV quick review

Needed to replace my Inspira's stock 17" Conti MC5 tyres after 45k mileage and was looking for something below 300.00. Read about Thunderer and saw some mixed reviews. Here's mine.

The 215/50r17 Mach IV model tyres are directional but have a finer thread which make it quieter than the 215/45 which I think most ppl complain about.

I travelled about 800km in total so far and find that it's quite nice to drive. Yes, it's still a little noisier than conti mc5 but not too much. I think after 20-30k kms most tyres become noisy and by then we too sort of get used to the noise.
Highway driving at 130-150km/h was comfortable and tyres held grip well (dry conditions).

City driving with speeds up to 90km/h was also decent but a little bumpy but I think that's due to a but of over inflation and I'm comparing to mc5 which is quite good in that regard.

Im not the type to drive hard and take corners fast so I can't comment on the performance in such conditions. I think it's a decent tyre to get for your average daily driving and long distance driving avoiding extreme speeds (>140kmh). Certainly not the best but good enough if you're not too fussy.
I paid RM280.00 /pc compared to RM 400.00 for the mc5 and so I'm pleased with the savings (for now).

May I ask. Who's in here residing in KK and knows where the cheapest 195 55 15 bridgestone ecopia, the cheapeat I can get is rm230. Please help me

So i'm thinking to change my existing stock tyres on my city'14 .. the existing ones are 185/55/R16 , if I were to change to 205/50/R16 will there be significant road effects added to my ride ? (e.g. bumpiness, road noise)

I found out that two of my Michelin XM2 tires (front wheel) having crack lines.
These two tires purchase at same time and having same manufacturing dates.

Is it normal due to wear and tear or can I claim warranty?

Sad... No 215/40/17 for Asymm 2.

Yes can, still in the tolerance level.

From these top 10 manufacturers in 2013, survey about their UHP Comfort tyre.
1 Bridgestone
2. Michelin
3. Goodyear
4. Continental AG
5. Pirelli
6. Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd.
7. Hankook Tires
8. Yokohama Rubber
9. Cheng Shin Rubber
10. Cooper Tire and Rubber

+1
Still not many people know about Noble 2. I planned to get this tyre when my current tyre reach it's threadwear.

Is it you car very seldom drive? Everyday just park? And parking at outside/no shade place, direct exposure to sunlight?

I think you should claim warranty...go ask your shop.

I drive it everyday to work n park under the sun. It only happen to the front wheels only thou.

Anyone used Pirelli P6 tyre before?
Is this model better than XM2?

Hi, may I ask anyone know what is the market price for hankook venture 2 concept 2?
I was trade in my 4tyre, all bridgestone. Two used 1year 7mm thick another two used 2 months 9mm thick.
They charge me RM440 for the Tyre. But I realise Hankook was relatively cheap.
