Hello! 👋 Hope you could help me out 🙌

Size: 205/55/16
Current tires: Ecopia 150 (or 200, i can't recall). 2016 tires.
Looking for : Something better than my current tires.. My Ecopia currently, even tho still have good thread-life left (under-mileage), whenever go on water patches on high speed, car feel like sway to the side. Scary.

Something with slightly above average grip in wet and hopefully dry, but still reasonably quiet (for the price) tires.. I don't like performance tires humming noise..

So far after research for my size, I found:
Dunlop D06
Yoko Es32
Ecopia Ep300 (but I abit phobia of Ecopia already)
Hankook prime 3 (I read prime 3 isn't good?)

What else is there in this range? Rm190 - Rm225 price range

Thank you for your time! 😊

Appreciate the suggestion, will check out Ne03! I also found another tyre 'maxxis ipro', but read that the thread wear is quick. 🤔
