I've observed quite alot of bread and butter cars out there wrapped with Yokohama C-Drive 2 and Michelin XM2 wheels which appear to be affordable and respectable all-round performance..

XM2 for quieter and cushy ride, great durability, higher mileage lifespan.. not easily get bengkak..
C-Drive 2 is for those who's looking for all rounder tire.. some ppl complain the ride
feels hard and noisier than XM2..

Continental MC5 recently also very popular.. comfort base tire but it is made in malaysia.. so hurmmm.. dono lah  tongue.gif

really see what's your expectation after you spend the money.. u sendiri pilih lah  rolleyes.gif

FYI, I used the Atlantis V7 Silverstone which came with the car for 2 months and found out that it is very lousy grip on road..
doesn't reliably bites on road and feels very slippery.. no confidence on brisk braking.. ride feels hard and railway train sound but reasonably quiet nonetheless..

I suggest you should try Continental MC5.. quoted at RM390/pc for 17" at Kee Hin.. although its made in M'sia.. i'm sure its ability and overall quality to be a lot better than Silverstone Atlantis V7.. one of the Fortezen back in V13 mentioned MC5 is a good tire and met all of his expectation..

Thx for ur comment & suggestion again ah Bear, so will give up to replace the V7 silverstone, so is it good to replace 1 pair of the difference brand of tyre instead of just take the spare tyre for replacement the "bengkak" 1 & buy new tyre for the another? (another front tyre still remain 50-60% bunga)
