So if I have 215/45/17 stock tires now fitted (reviews not too convincing, hence thinking of changing) and would like to change to better ones. Any specific recommendations based on the following criteria (won't be driving fast, if on highway usually 110 km/h - 120 km/h, max sometimes 140km/h during overtaking)?
1) Safety (better wet grip and less chances of the tire bursting?)
2) Better NVH
3) Longer lasting
stick to stock size, no need alteration as you're already on 17"1) Safety (better wet grip and less chances of the tire bursting?)
2) Better NVH
3) Longer lasting
215/45/17 easier to find sizes and cheaper too as more tires produced for popular sizes hence cheaper price too.
for your criteria, since no budget is specified, consider yokohama Advan DB, it is their flagship comfort/low NVH tire
or can consider Nitto Invo, also their flagship in luxury/comfort/low NVH tires
if wet grip is your priority while you don't mind a little bit nvh compromise (compared to advan db/invo anyways) you can go with good year's flagship tire - Eagle F1 asymmetric 2
if you want safety (as you said, better wet grip) and good NVH, such tires will have to sacrifice on durability/lasting tread as they are typically constructed much softer
however if you don't drive fast/aggressive, they WILL last easily AT LEAST 50-60k km as these tires afaik are rated OVER 300 treadwear assuming you properly maintain them with correct pressure, proper alignment etc
