Tyre sifus,
I'm currently shopping for tyres of size 225/50R17. Just a brief driving profile, 90% city drive, stuck in jam frequently, less long distance driving and has a baby in the car, almost non existent spirited driving. Hence, low noise level, comfort & long lasting is of utmost priority. Oh I clock about 15k km a year. Below are my shortlisted which I have gotten quotation from a reputable tyre shop in Klang:
1. Hankook V12E2 340/doughnut all in
2. Hankook S1Noble2 310/doughnut all in
3. Continental MC6 375/doughnut all in
Which would you recommend based on my driving profile? Also I'm curious what's the difference between Hankook V12E2 vs S1Noble2? From what I surveyed the S1Noble2 is a more comfort oriented tyre, is it true?
Any other brands / model recommendation is welcome : )
Not in a hurry, tyres will due some time next year.
PS: Michelin PS4 is out of my shopping list.
Try to exclude the mc6. You can read fb review from many user disappointed with the rain performance of mc6. Obviously it is a major improvement from the poor mc5 but still below from the rivals performance.
The no 1 v12 do perform good similar to Michelin ps3.
