Changed 4x K125 205/45/R17 in Puncak Alam Hankok Master. RM250 each and currently got raya promo free RM100 TNG. Enough to cover valve and allignment.

Didn't change to i-pro because ask TMK and quoted RM270 (or 280) IIRC.

Bagi review how this K125 perform?
*
I don't drive the car often enough. Only impression now is the sidewall which is probably a lot softer than previous CSC5. Therefore it does feel less bumpy. It was raining yesterday right after I got it changed hence didn't try any cornering because of all the wet comments I read online.

Update:

Sent my car to change suspension parts and end up driving the cars for few days. I didnt push hard, just normal driving. I think the tyre is okay, not great like CSC5. Grip is decent, more comfortable with softer sidewall but I think it gave limited feedback on road. Will try to drive more before finalising.

Got quoted old 2020 stock for 21550/R17 for RM250 each. It's RM100 cheaper compared to current stock

You guys reckon it's worth the savings? Read online tires older than 6 years from manufacturing date shouldn't be put in service so technically can still use?

Where do you find them?

I wouldnt mind if I could get some 215/55/17 for less than RM1k.

The ps4 ride very harsh, even on a E class, can feel that the ride is very noisy and vibrates a lot. Maybe E class NVH not good enough?
Primacy 4 is similar to XM2, rides well but not too quiet also. Tested on X1 for ps4 and X70 for primacy suv+.

Primacy is not quiet? Holy... are you kidding me?

You should avoid continental then because they are freaking noisy. Michelin PS NVH are usually okay'ish until you ran them down. The primacy should be a lot better not only with noise but also comfort with it's rounder sidewall versus PS flat sidewall.

I think the main aspect of tyre comfort is still the sidewall height. E class, I'm guessing 45 profile?? You cant get any comfort with 45 height tyre since you need to pump them quite high between 38-42. Those older round lights E class have slightly higher sidewall and very comfortable but ever since they changed to these sporty looks, well, the tyre has to slim down to accomodate the looks.

Sometitme people read online review see the dB number, which is measured external of then car.

Yea, Primacy is one of quietness tyres on the class. The dB number is higher than budget XM2. But that is not what we experience in car. 100k ish car have better noise insulation than econobox.

Had a 225/45R17 change to PS5 from Prime2. PS5 as a UHP is more quiet than Prime2. Not sure about Prime3.

But, I don't not agree Continental are all noisy. I had PC6 and having SC7. Both are equivalent to PS5 in quietness. And PS5, PC7 tread pattern is very smart (can see the similarity in design philosophy of both brands over last gen tyres tread) near zero noise in smooth pavement.

Having CC6, I think same as Kinergy EX, but XM2 is more quiet than both. But thr ownerships are many years apart, not like PS5 vs PC6 that I have driven both back and forth over long period. Well maybe you are right at the lower end spectrum, when come to UHP, they are very close.

Not sure about SC7 and PC6 (this is comfort tyre?). Have a set of CSC5 and it was kinda noisy but acceptable. Lately have a pair of MC6 and gosh, it was horrible. I dont even know what to say about MC6. Yes, performance is right up there but the noise and comfort is really way way down. Even on a 55 profile, you will feel every bump in the road, and the noise is just unforgetable. I thought maybe this is just Sonata having poor insulation (actually I had primacy on, had 2 tyres at the back with problem thus replacing them with MC6), and my dad just had a brand new set of MC6 on his W212. Tried it and same. Harsh ride and noisy.

Prime 3 is more or less similar to Primacy performance in the dry but noise wise is definitely higher than Primacy. Sidewall a bit harder than Primacy though.
