hello guys....im having a 2011 Toyota Camry 2.0G(tyre size 215 / 60 R16).Im planning to change the tyres.I need a good tyre and i dont really care abt the price.I need a tyre which is comfort and silent with good handling and i have a few choices.(only brand  )(u could give a more specific model and that will be highly appreciated)If u have any other choices u can mention it...so here it is : 1)Michelin 2)Bridgestone 3)Continental 4)Toyo 5)Yokohama Im really confused since the tyre dealers was not able to give detailed information.Some of my friends said michelin is more silent & comfortable and more expensive than bridgestone thus it is better.(they presume more expensive more better but i dont)The tyres should also perform good in the highways cause i always drive fast.. Another question(pls dun mind)im planning to buy another car and my choice is Peugot 508.Is it a good car?Is it reliable?Is it better than my camry 2011?I heard it doesnt have second value compared to camry...bt is it still a good car ?

Well I tried R1R and it gives me pretty good performance. Not sure about silent cause my car very loud anyway.

Actually.. i dont think many high performance tyres makes 60 profile.... cause... Sports & high sidewall doesnt go together

Sports & high sidewall doesnt go together  60 profile and 55 is negligible la. last time i use prof 60 on rear, now change to 195/55/15, not much diff also  actually tyre pressure does affect rigidity of sidewall. you go track day, every PSI counts. I pumped my tires (Eagle F1 D5, Hankook V12) all the way up to 40psi on track day lol. After that try soften it to 35psi and bloody hell the sidewalls started rolling in the corners
