Conti CC5 have size 165/60R14???

of course not as good as PS3 la. cannot compare like that one ma.
but btw, i think RM 220 for that size is quite good deal, FOC aligment somemore, plus Powerbank

haha, but really not a lot of ppl do review on eco tyres. Maybe you can just watch some youtube instead.

btw, i myself using BS EP150.

well.. the NVH is more or less same as the GY NCT5, which for me is considered quite bad. the lowest noise tyre i've experienced so far is the CC5. not yet tried CD5 & PST3 yet though. The drip and also wet grip is okay enough for me, since i drive normal speed only and don't really whack corners. And for the Eco, i can say that its better than the NCT5. the car can roll further when shifting to back to neutral. Overall i would say i like this tyre.

EP200 should be better than EP150 in terms of eco, NVH, and grip. i get EP150 because there is no size for EP200 for my tyre size. and oh i am comparing here with 165/60R14 GY NCT5 and 165/65R14. btw, Mitsu Mirage & Nissan Leaf uses EP150 as OE tyre.

bro, maybe the tread wear is not the sole indication on tyre performance...? for example the NCT5 tread wear 240, most ppl on forum claim is very noisy, whereas most ppl claim XM2 is quiet

when ppl say XM2 good performance.. i'm sure those guys are not extreme petrolheads, they don't normally drive too fast. even if driving fast is only on straight road. if the tyre doesn't skid during normal corner, normal raining slippery road/corner, doesn't skid when hard braking, then, i think those guys (me included) will say its good performance, maybe the actual term should be "good enough" performance. Good enough for normal citizens.

hmm... maybe its a way that michelin trying to say that "my entry level tyre is better/on par with my competitor's mid range tyre".. haha.. maybe same reason why ppl buy toyota and bash potong

i think your views are somewhat constrained to treadwear rating and entry range, mid range.

this is so true.

but gotta admit that tyre is just very difficult for average joe to provide a good or truely objective review because
1) average tyre can tahan for 2 yrs. after 2 yrs, ppl already forgot what the original feeling when tyre was still new like. so mostly ppl's review on their previous tyre is almost worn tyre, compared against another brand and new tyre.
2) not all ppl tried ALL tyres out there. its just too difficult achieve that with each set can last for 2 yrs.
3) when ppl give review after they changed tyre, it is very important to know what's he's previous tyre. for example if he changed from High end to mid range, sure he say the new tyre is lousy. if he changed from lousy range to mid, sure he say the new tyre is good performance.
4) plus factors like different road, different car, different type of driver, different mods on car at different periods. too many variables.

i think optimum tyre pressure should follow the tyre pressure sticker at the side of your door, regardless of what size tyre you changed to.

your current goodyear which model?
toyo which model? yoko which model? (this was like asking, toyota vs honda which one better? are you comparing city vs camry or, accord vs camry??)

for quiet, best bet go for michelin Primacy 3ST or yoko advan dB i think?
