Please recommend quiete, comfortable and reasonable price tires. Looking for replacement tires for my car.

what car you driving first?

Honda city

and what tires are you currently using?

and have used before?

cc6

was going to suggest this but need to know where ts honda city been using before.

Currently Cc6 and previously goodyear.

CC6 is the best in terms of quietness, comfort and price.

Don't expect it to perform like sports tires though.

Ok, CC6 is good already. if you want you can try PS3 or PS4 tyres.

Hmm maybe don't use cc6. My cc6 is about 4 years in. It still have about 60% thread. But during rainy season it gets particularly scary. When rain at 110 can really feel the car not planted.

Michelin Primacy 4
Yokohama Blueearth AE-50
Bridgestone Turanza T005a
Toyo Proxes CR1
Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance

I would definitely say CC6. All tires have comprises. CC6 from price point and your noise requirements definitely fits.

When rained I usually go lesser than 100 depending on traffic, rain, and road condition. I got the same feeling too when using CC5 that time.

Michelin PS4.

If you're unable to stretch your budget for the PS4, the Hankook Ventus EVO V12 is a good alternative.

For this usage it is not within "general use" application but it is performance tyre (wet grip) use case already.
>90 in the wet requires good tyre for safety. Your braking distance is much much longer than the hot sunny day one.

I can vouch for these 2 for quietness and most confy. But I think it's almost impossible to find AE50 tires anymore.

Shopee got plenty

Ehhh, it's back in the market? During one period in 2019, I was finding it for my friend but many shops were saying that Japan don't manufacture it anymore.

Could be the shop tactic (in that neighbourhood) to steer you into buying whatever they have ready stock actually.. not many would spend the time to run out to get stock from distributor I suppose?

If in Klang you go to Hankook logo shop, whatever lobang tyre they got on offer, even Dunlop made in japan, Bridgestone for kancil, etc to Michelin PS2/3/4 everything you want you just name it they can get it for you easily (just wait a little while).

I see. Maybe I might have to keep my expectations in check. However I do rmb driving same car with xm2 and it dosent feel as floaty.

My cc6 can have wheel spin from stop traffic light coming from a 1600cc car. It dosent happen when it was new.

Consider our climate I personally recommend finding a tyre better than cc6. Xm2+ have improved wet grip, about Rm50 more compare to cc6

For wet condition, your tyre should spray away the water fast enough (so that its not floating on water patch).
CC6 pattern doesn't have sufficient full pass through deep grooves and === at the side ribs (corners of the tyre) IMO.. it looks more like those moon and stars that are great for noise cancellation but wet grip..if the water cannot flow into the drain where can the water go (since water is incompressible)?

Compare the CC6 and UC6 tread patterns then you'll see what I mean.

I agree. The tyre threads are meant for noise reduction. However I believe the compound of the Tyres makes a difference as well.

I mean start from traffic light, with just damp road, a car with 1600cc shouldn't spin.

Is a paid review. The brand C in the video is cc6. Can see how bad it performs compare to even Bridgestone ecopia.
For that I kinda don't want to recommend cc6. Is a safety concern for me.

My personal experience with 14" Ecopia on a 1.2L mirage (lighter than a maivee) - easily/often activates ABS by just normal 60-0 stopping for red light on nice hot sunny day afternoon (no rain at all).

After getting a set of 15" stock rims that can actually fit PS3 (185/55/15) .. I find it very hard to activate ABS on the mirage.

Shows how absolutely rubbish the CC is. 😅

It is quite bad.. This year I'm close to 50% thread will sell it away for xm2+

LOL. What even is this? I know its rubbish instantly when i saw XM2+ is the best in your list.

Thanks. Will consider this

Old tyres are usually noisy

Change to a new set of cc6 will be quiet again

Usually how long to change tires?

Depends on your usage

Many will change tyres when botak

But low mileage cars may take 10 years to botak.
Low mileage cars better change within 5 years max. No botak also change. No choice.

10 years ...... or 1.6 mm tread depth touching tyre wear indicator ...............
according to tyre manufactureres all over the planet .

No fixed time period, all depends on tire model, driving style, mileage travelled, and conditions. So you just have to observe your tires regularly and change when necessary.

Based on your requirements, definitely CC6. But just don't expect its grip to be like those performance tyres.

CC6 need to drive as slow as lorry in the wet and also follow lorry keep big distance. It is only good for acoustics. Wet grip horrible.

Yoko ES32/AE50 or Toyo NE03 or GY Assurance also not noisy and have better wet grip anytime over CC6.

Ok. Will avoid cc6
