Planning on changing my tyres, 205/55/16 currently using GT radial champiro BAX2, stock tyres.

Looking for comfort>handling. Went to my regular shop for some quotation and was recommended Dunlop formula D05, claim that it's a new thread pattern, all rounder. Quoted me RM270 per tyre, trade in price not included yet. Cheap to me.

Previously was looking at Michelin Primacy ST3 & PS3, was quoted RM380 by another shop. After reading numerous thread here, I shortlisted Bridgestone Turanza GR100, Yokohama Advan DB as well but was told the GR100 is not as good as advertised and the Yokohama is pretty pricey.

I know all tyres that I mentioned probably belong to diff groups but say I can stretch my budget to a max of RM400 per tyre, which would be the most worth while ?

Just changed my tyres yesterday, size 205/55/16 regular tyre shop recommended a new model from Dunlop, Formula D05, very limited infomation online, price was pretty good at RM270 per tyre, after trading in my old Champiro Bax 2 it was down to RM240 per tyre.

I've did quite some research, initially was aiming for the michelin PS3, BS GR100 but in the end settled for this as I had some other plans to upgrade my car performance. Initial reviews is that it's much more silent but need to drive more for further reviews.
