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

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?

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

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

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

one last question to members, what is the rule of thumb; when to change tires?

mine was based on duration.. for 3 years i got the car never change b4, basically my friend told me the tire still looks ok but i guess out of safety id rather not the risk la

what about you guys??

An update for all, I have changed to Michelin Primacy 4 after opening this thread. No regrets, pretty much the best investment indeed. Quiet on surface and comfortable experience

erm honestly i do not know much about tyres, so i didnt find out much of the detailing part
all i know is after i switched to michelin prim4 from the stock tyres, i find my driving experience better as i go outstation alot

initially the tyre shop filled in nitro for me, but nowadays i dont care, just fill in regular air
