i value grip & performance over comfort/noise/threadwear
i dun mind noise if it grips good at that price range

before that lemme ask would you buy any of these brands?

Uniroyal, Semperit, Barum, General Tire, Viking, Gislaved, Mabor, Matador and Sportiva

latest TR1 different design from old one
old one is v shape
new one is half v like j hook

good thing about b-segment cars like myvi, vios, city, etc.

15" tires alot of choices
u like fast go for re003

If you're long distance driving and long hours driving I'm sure you're going to be rolling around at 60kmh at the highway when it's wet/dry, right?

Originals should be Goodyear Excellence, decent enough for OEM's, they'll be around the RM150-200 range.
IINM you're owning the high spec City so it comes with 16" rims that are thin so from 185, max you can go is 195, 205 fit but i dun recommend.
sad thing is 16" not many choices so gotta go with the economic crappy tires mostly.
15" got more variety but for u gotta change rim so not an option.

Choices:
Toyo Nano Energy 3 (or any variation): RM130-160 piece of shit

Michelin XM2+ : RM180-200 slightly better than your OEM's.

Continental tires : anything with "C" in the product same is crap, remember C=crap!

Goodyear Assurance 3M : never tried, never bother another bland boring over price tire like XM2+

Dunlop D06 : cheaper than XM2+ but noiser by alot

Sumitomo HTR : 250 per side made in Japan quality

yes

255 for what size?

it is OEM tire for Honda City and Toyota Vios iinm.
not great but not bad.

warranty dun cover?

if done all that can be done
we can assume it is tire quality issue which is a manufacturing issue so i think can claim

Excellence is OEM base tire.
Not fantastic not terrible.
Don't expect performance if you're aggressive driver.
going from 2155/55 to 215/60 means the tire is taller.
which is also a cons for aggressive drivers.

watch this video for a crash course on tires

Turanza is a good upgrade from OEM's.
Since you're in JB, I'm sure you can get hold of Sumitomo tires, made in Japan but few dealers in Malaysia but has dealers in Sinkie.

anyone have experience with Atlas brand tires?

oic....i am just impressed of it's size range even my friend's weird tire size oso got

really depends on your driving style and car use.
RE003 is the dry condition king but on the wet & cold it's performance drops significantly if you compare to those within it's price range.

Been surveying some shoes for my SUV, sharing my findings.

235/55/r18

Kedai Papan Klang
Delmax Utility Pro - 200
Achilies 868 - 280
Rovelo RV08 - 280
Landsail CLV2 - 300
Conti UC6 - 445
Conti MC6 - 450
Toyo CR1 - 365
Bridgestone D33 (Japan) - 590
Bridgestone RE004 - 550
Atlas Paraller - 320
Michelin Latitude Tour - 720

+ Rubber valve RM5 each / Steel valve RM10 each
+ No mention of balancing so this might be chargable
+ Alignment whole car RM32
Usually Kedai Papan is only good for cheap price, service and alignment sucks.

H20 Klang
Sumitomo (Japan) - 460
Dunlop Formula D06 - 450
Conti UC6 - 490
Silverstone - 420
Westlake (Thai) 360

+ Balancing & Valve free
+ Alignment is chargable and this can be abit of money anywhere from RM5 to RM25 per side but usually my experience with H20 they give good service and their alignment job is on point.

Many shops saying 01/03/2021 price increase so better get it done now.

post-CNY price jack-up

the giti u get oem with x50 is about the same level of grip as ecopia
ecopia only slightly better for fc
few cents saving but u spend upfront on tire+service
i think not worth it

seriously inflated alot
i downgraded to 15" rims coz these were sub 250 per donut
