But technically soft side walls will make cornerings feel no confidence but technically will absorb the bumps and uneven roads to give me comfort right?

I also heard ps4 is considered soft sidewalls.

Yup, another advantage softer sidewalls and compound is improve braking performance by absorbing the force or impact better compare to hard.
Thus you can see Michelin newer tires excel on braking performance

I think Dunlop J5 already replace by J6, ask for the J6 model.
Anyway i am using Yokohama BlueEarth ES32 for my Kelisa, it is also a good choice for daily comfort drive.
Yokohama might be pricier compare to Dunlop due to imported.

How you drive and what car you fitting in the tires?
If always full throttle and go in corners like nothing at high speed, any tires also gg very fast.

Falken have quite some good reviews but didnt see much on shopee tho
*
Why go shopee? If want just direct call or go to main Falken Distributor (Stamford) to order bru..
Most local tire ship also can help order as SN832i tire is quite common.

Hi all, I bought a used car with an unknown tyres manufacturing date. I just couldn't find the DOT 4 digits for the year of made. Here are my tyre codes that I can find:

H308 13636, E4 0278096, IS: 15633 CM/L-4100007053, DOT BCF4 YD H

Tyre geometry: 185/60 R14 85T
*
Just get a professional tire shop to check on the tire condition, if tires are kept well they can last around 10 years without issues so why worried about the date?

if the previous owner did not take care and always hit pot holes, even new tires also cannot last.

1st of all, what car drivetrain you driving? if FWD or RWD can just change 2pcs and new tires put on the rear if all is the same size.
