This size is difficult la to get cheap but good ones. Probably your best bet just to try the new Toyo TR1

Actually so far i'm looking at these 3 tyres including the one you mentioned above

Toyo Proxes TR1
Hankook S1 Noble2
Bridgestone Turanza T005a

i mostly travel long distance every weekend jb - kl and back jb.

Which of the tyre above have better wet performance and less prone to aquaplanning?

i'm not so bothered about tyre noise.

S1N2 and T005A are just mid range tires, similar to that lousy MC5 that you've been using now. TR1 is UHP class, so probably better. But honestly if I were you I wouldn't get any of those, instead at least I'd get the Falken FK510 at around rm600. Btw there's this stock clearance on PS4 for just rm580 for your size which I think is a very good deal and I strongly recommend you just to get that.

Falken FK510 really that good? is it comparable to PS4?

Actually i found a shop offering rm520 a piece for my tyre size. Just wondering about tyre wear since i travel alot a year around 40k km milelage

If can get at that price then no need to think anymore, just get it coz it's a good tire and very value for money. The tread wear rating is 300 so expect similar wear like most other UHP tires.

Where do you get that price btw?

A tyre shop in klang valley, Ching Tyre Auto Service. Then I'll just top up abit for that tyre then. more suitable for my car i guess. previously MC5 easily spin at low speed on my car.

You're driving the latest Accord 2.4?

I'm driving the passat b8 2.0. So i guess i better top up money since the FK510 will be more suitable.

I thought that Passat is supposed to use just 235/40/18 not 235/45/18, no? Or maybe opt for 245/40/18 if your rims is at least 8jj wide. 245/40/18 is more common size so many more choices and cheaper too.

Passat b8 is using the 18 inch dartford rims for the highline version. And the stock size comes in 235/45/r18 same as accord 2.4

Coz my friend using same car uses 235/40/18.

No wonder so cheap. 2017 model. I never buy old stock tyre, next times can think about buying this old stock since I use tyre for 2 years only. Lol

But, only 2 available. So ts need to pair it with a good tyre also. If pair it with lousy tyre, then it will bottleneck ps4 performance.

2017 is still ok actually, so its a good deal to take. Michelin has warranty for their tires up to 6 years.
