Hey sifus and donutmen,

Tomorrow I'm getting my new ride, was informed after booking and stuff that I'd be getting Michelin Primacy 4. Yesterday, was told I'd be getting Dunlop Sport MAXX 050 (I believe it's non + ones) instead. I quite bengang but also there's nothing I can do.

So with my driving preference below, can you guys recommend me if I should stick to it, or day 1 terus go change to better donuts.

1) 225/45/R17 (Dunlop SP MAXX 050)
2) Driving pattern - 100km daily driving, 80% highways, 20% city (about 2,200km/month) with holidays and adhoc trips, I think my usage will be around 25000-27000km annually.
3) I only drive at road legal speed, 80-90 kmh, 110 kmh if I rush/overtake
4) Klang Valley, highway condition is decent
5) My expectation is quiet level, as I drive long distance daily, my very first priority is comfort + NVH

So with the above, as I never used Dunlop tyres before, would like to get some insights from you all, if I should use it partially, use them till end of life, or change immediately (so I get better trade-in value)?

Please also recommend me some good models, so far I'm only eyeing on Michelin Primacy 4.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

Took delivery of Corolla Altis celestite grey in April 2021. Found the stock Dunlop tyres pretty noisy, especially when going over bumps. It makes a hollow rumble sound like hitting an empty oil barrel. Since I had just downgraded from an 8 year old Camry, really could not tahan the rumbling and traded in for Michelin Primacy 4. My regular mechanic offered at RM 480 each with RM 120 trade in for Dunlop; nett was RM 360 per tyre. Haven't driven much yet, but since I have been on Michelin XM2 and PS3 before, so I have no worries about Primacy 4. It's a much quieter ride and so far no issues on grip and comfort in dry or wet.

Cheers!
