As per title, humbly ask the opinions of fellow members

What is your preferred driving style?
Drive fast?
Corner Hard?
Long distance cruising?
Quiet?
Comfort?
Good grip in dry surfaces?
Priority on wet braking?

Both tyre are made for different purposes.
You can't have both (eg, grip during corner, while being quiet and fuel saving).
Hence, you will need to understand your preference (what you like and don't like) in order to decide.

Not well versed on tyres but i find the stock tyres from Honda noisy and bumpy

my daily commute is drive to work in city therefore traffic jam is there
probably once a month have to go south so got long distance too; i tend to stick to 110 - 140 km/h

if i have to choose, would like less noise in cabin and smoother drive tyres
any suggestion? budget maybe below 700 per tyre

PS4

What size tyre? 215/50/17 (top spec Civic Turbo)?

215/45/17 I check PS4 at most also 550, and I consider that way too expensive. Primacy is a bit cheaper than PS4 usually.

Well for HR-V, its not meant for you to corner hard.
More for comfort, long distance cruise and a more relax driving style.
Also in Malaysia, we get a lot of heavy rain.

Primacy 4 will be more suitable for you.

----

Primacy 4 will be much more quieter and comfortable than PS4.
Plus its cheaper than PS4 (depending on tyre size).

so in other words
primacy 4 for comfort
pilot sport 4 for performance
right?

i think mine is 215/55/r17/94v

i prefer comfort then, any dealers/shops to recommend around klang valley?

Try Hin Leong tyre @ Klang or Teoh Brothers @ Klang.

The most competitive price around after comparing many.

225/50R17 Primacy4 they quote 430 so yours should be cheaper.

Wow thats good price. i thought it will be more than 500 per donut
Most probably i will call/visit either one of them in the next 2 months

I also prefer Primacy4 for comfort plus cheaper than PS4. PS4 good for high performance car

another question for all, the pressure usually pump what? i go with 220psi as per suggestion from the driver seat there (i usually drive alone or max 1 passenger)

a friend mentioned that try to pump less than max to prolong tire life.. is that true?

When your tyre is under inflated, the rolling resistance increases and so does your fuel consumption. And higher tyre wear should come along so no it does not prolong tire life. Just pump to the recommended pressure should do.

primacy 4 is around rm 400 in klang valley.currently they do have primacy 3 2019 stock too.u can check it out.should be around rm 320+-

Recently bought ps4 215/45/17 for rm389. U can try Michelin TyrePlus at Shah alam. Came with everything, balancing, realignment, nitrogen gas. So far satisfied with the ps4. I bought from lazada tho, not sure if same if just go to shop directly

Priority is less noise? Then no need think liao. Primacy is your answer.

I have been using performance tires but my current set is Primacy3ST (Primacy will be even better) due to the low price offer now. It is so quiet that I cant get used to it at first. Also my car is already 7 years+ and after changing to Primacy, can feel the urge to repair car since now can hear a lot clearer of some noises coming the suspension and under carriage which were previously subdued by the noisier tires.

Primacy 4 nowadays is not so much silent already.
Already got member complain of higher noise level compare to Primacy 3ST (ST means Silent Tread) after upgrading to it.
Nowadays Michelin is promoting more towards safety, as they are the best in term of wet & dry braking distance even after the tire wear out.

If want only the best silent & comfort ride tire in market now is the Yokohama Advan DB V552.

ok cool, but why nitro?
if need to pump have to go specific places right?
any difference of pumping norma vs nitro?

anyway thanks alot for all sifu recommendations, yes will proceed to get primacy 4

on a side note; HRV really got alot of sounds, so maybe after changing tires can hear the sound even more obvious.. lucky still under warranty

If free go for it. If need to ask for extra money for the nitrogen gas just forget it.
Just a simple google or youtube a lot of these are just scam (Same as chamber nut change, also a scam) for tire shop to earn more money.

Our air got almost 78.09% nitrogen, so paying extra for it is no brainer.

No difference. Pumping nitrogen into street tires is one of the biggest scam from tire shops.
