1) Toyo Nanoenergy 03 (NE03)
2) Continental Ultra Contact 6 (UC6)
3) Goodyear Assurance Triplemax 2
4) Toyo TR1
5) Yokohama Advan Fleva V701
6) Bridgestone R050

What else?

Dear sifu, how would you rate these tyres?

I am looking for comfort and quiet tyres with good wet performance, especially good aquaplaning suppression. Normal driving style and not sapu corner type.

RE050A will be the highest performance (UHP category) but old model and will finish very fast.
V701 is also UHP but has not been receiving good reviews, many are even bad reviews.
TR1 is still very new, no reviews so far, a bit skeptical judging by the odd tread pattern and Toyo in general never really excels in any comparisons.
Triplemax 2 would probably be your best bet for all rounder but mid range category tire.
UC6 & NE03 are low end type tires which I personally wouldn't buy myself.

Other choice are Michelin Primacy 3 and Continental MC5 which are also old models in the mid range category.

Unfortunately your size is a bit odd, so no really good choices.

Thanks for your kind feedback. Do you think Triplemax 2 is placed above UC6 & NE3?

UC6 and Triplemax 2 is new model, while NE3 was introduced since 2014 if not mistaken, almost due for a replacement model. At the moment UC6 is lacking stock for 195/55R16. So probably will consider between NE3 or Triplemax 2.

UHP and comfort don't go well together I guess?

Yes Triplemax 2 is higher category than UC6/NE3.

Got UHP tires which are still comfortable enough, like Hankook V12 Evo 2 but not available in your size.

Advan db should be comfortable and quiet but pretty expensive.
