Hi all,

Currently I am having a Silverstone AT 117 Special 265/70R/16 tires. Using them on my Fortuner 2005

Need to change them already. Any good recommendations?

Would like it to b quite, good grip on dry n wet and can manage some rough road so it does not puncture easily.

85% of time on city and Highway driving and remaining on some gravel/ tanah merah kind of road

Just came across this brand today Laufenn. its from Hankook which from the net says it was out since end 2014. Anyone familiar with it.

I was quote RM 230 / piece.

I am actually at cross roads. my front tire is bridgestone and its wearing out the back ones are contipremiumcontact 2 and doing well still. initial thought is to change all the same brand so the thread is all the same (which in my believe mean better driving and handling) but the price for CPC2 is like between 350 - 450 which surprises me.

So either i suck it up and spend the money for the front 2 to be conti or change all fours to something else or have 2 brands of tires on the car.

I am looking for a tire that is good for tough, high speed(sometimes when rushing) and good grip for wet & dry while giving good ride comfort and quite as well. I am only familiar with a few brands so keeping the mind open to suggestions for others as long as quality is good and fair price. Surely wanna keep it as low as i can.. budget is an issue till Feb 2017

Anyone can share advise and guidance will be much appreciated.

if it cost so high,better u opt for branded tyres like dunlop d05,achiles sport 2,maxxis ipro,,neuton nt8000 definitely better choice,confidence/performance at around the same range of price.or maybe better u go for hankook v2 itself which is cheaper than laufennn for this entry level brands.just my personal opinion.

how much would those be for a 205/55R/16? guessing you mean they are cheaper then the continental CPC2 right?

i did come across the neuton tires as well, are they good? its sub brand from yokohama right? thought its the same category as Laufenn

those tyre i mention are about the same price range with laufen,cheaper than continental cpc2.
neuton are categorized in performance tyre.
u can check the tyre price list v5 for reference.

thanks

but ii still wonder is it alright and safe to have 2 different brands of tires on a car? does it affect the car in any way like safety / handling / consumption etc

wonder if anyone here may have some insights to this
