Hi All,

Hope some nice guys can give me some advises... and thanks a mill in advance...

I am going to change 4pcs tyres soon for 17". I am doing sales, everyday running 100-200km...

I am looking for tyres with below in below priority.
1. Must be comfort as I spend ard 4hrs in car everyday.
2. Must be quiet, i dont turn on radio.. just wanna keep moment of silence.
3. Durable ... can last me ard 80km if possible .. i always bal+allig every 10k km...

My current Goodyear was horrible on noise but very durable, I have been running 90k on them and still ard 10% left....

Was thinking Toyo... then came across Yokohama as well... are these 2 Japs any significant diff?

Cheers and Thanks ..........

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.

Given comfort over durable I will prefer comfort...

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

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 thumbup.gif

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... notworthy.gif ... 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... cry.gif .... so u know my pain now..hahaha....... doh.gif ..

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.
