just changed all for from yoko fleva v701 at 30% thread remaining. Didn't intend to go for this model at first rather looking at P1 or P7 but both of those models don't come in 215/50/17 size. So i guessed Powergy would still be ok and the promo price kinda sealed the deal.

To my surprise it turned up the noise several notches up during during my recent 500km up north. especially on the concrete paved stretch on PLUS highway. and the steering felt unusually light during slow speed a bit unstable at high speed

Found that the pressure in front passenger side was wrong. at 285 kpa, was way too high so i reduced it to normal level but it didn't change the behavior that much. still very much rumbling from the back. even my wife noticed that it is noisier than normal, which is saying a lot

Why Pirelli u ask? well, the shop near my house had a big Pirelli signboard and they do good alignment. so i gave it a go

Is it possible to get a refund and change to other model? else i'll be stuck with the noise for a couple of years until it wears a way

There are certain model in Pirelli that is quiet, not sure about powergy - in any case you can go back to shop and asked for trade in, would be substantial loss I think, unless you can bear with noisy donut, or change 2 in front to reduce loss but make sure that it's sufficiently quiet to balance out the rest of the rumbling

trade in sure will lose value and since now its mco im not going places anyway. but if i wait after mco by then the tyres will lose even more value. haihz...

Pirelli always noisy n very fast wear...

louder music lor if drive alone... but if ferry family a lot beh tahan maybe bite the bullet and change more quiet tyres now because it's only gonna get worse...

Is it this Pirelli tyre?

From the general review from users, this tyre seems to be sub par. Perform quite badly in all aspect say against Continental UC6.

nope. that's the old one. its the same model name but newer thread design. agree with u about the UC6 tho as im using them on my other car

Hmm sounds like a noisy design as on paper the previous model is as loud as PS3 michelin ~71db
Are these fresh stock tyres? Outside/Inside or rotation arrow correctly installed?

No it's not fresh.its old stock that's why good discount thrown in.im aware of that but not too old though, it's 1year ++ old
