Just to add to this old thread..
Was looking to change the extremely worn Michelin front tires of my 2nd car.
Initially I was looking for budget tires like Hankook (currently my rear tires are Hankooks) and those funny Indonesian/Thai or China brands. But luckily I came across the Dunlop J5. So far (after a few days), it is good, handles well, cheap price, pretty quiet and engineered by Continental nowadays.

Conclusion is, for budget tires, can't go wrong with the Dunlop J5.

I agreed. Generally Malaysians don't do much research on their own. They just listen to hearsays and what their friends told them etc. etc.
