hello to all lowyat.net forumer..
recently just purchase a pair of Landsail LS388 size 205/50/16 at rm180/pc for my Toyota Sienta which originally come with Bridgestone Turanza ER33 size 195/50/16..
i actually want to search tyre that silent and good while raining.. dry grip average consider good enough for me as this is for family usage..
did ask Michelin PS4 with size 205/50/16 is around rm360/pc, seriously out of my budget.. all price mentioned here not included GST
next one is Goodyear Assurance Tripplemax with size 195/50/16 (same with original) at rm195, what the sales assistant told about this tyre is the rubber will peel off, i did experience this with Michelin XM2 and Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season, and he did mention some other model tyre too.. this will make the worn process a bit faster due to peel off effect.. from what i know this tyre also good while raining and silent too..
next is Hankook Kinergy EX, this one consider cheapest in the lot.. size 195/50/16 price tag at rm170/pc, the advisor also didnt recommended me this tyre if wanna use for family.. its the hardest rubber and while raining not very good..
next one is Toyo Nano Energy 3.. price at rm255 with size 205/50/16
this model consider entry level for Toyo brand that for economical passenger car.. but the thing is, its price are bit extra while nothing extra from the tyre itself.. the SA also not so much into this model as the explanation not so much about it..
another one is Hankook V2 Concept with size 205/50/16 price at rm210/pc
i didnt interested with its V shape thread and its not for silent purpose.. its quite an ok tyre for most car but for heavy car like Toyota Sienta which its weight at 1300kg, so its not quite suitable.. but for sedan car like vios, city and bezza maybe its thick all the requirements..
another recommended by sales advisor is Nexen N5000 Plus with size 205/50/16 at rm210/pc too..
this one he mentioned this is rather silent tyre..
next is Achiles ATR Sport 2, price at rm175 with size 205/50/16
the advisor did mentioned that this model a bit more silent compare its predecessor.. so maybe its not that silent, and mostly this model being use if people upgrade rim size and wanna use average performance tyre with good value..
lastly is Landsail LS388 with price tag rm180/pc size 205/50/16
the SA promote this one too, but its kinda last model he suggested to me.. its silent tyre too but still he mentioned that Nexen N5000 plus a bit better..
so i end up with Landsail LS388..
below are the pictures for all tyres mentioned above..
