I was looking for affordable tyre for my axia before. Looking for tyre that has good wet grip. Tried cc6 and toyo neo3 before. But both has poor grip during raining.

On my list, cc6, hankook eco2 and xm2+. But few people said xm2+ is not worth it to be installed on axia. Then i read review bout dunlop j5. Which they said better wet grip than cc6 and even xm2+.

So i ordered online 4 donuts of j5. Then the shop called me, the j5 tyre no stock liao, we have j6 now, would u like to try the j6 or change to other brand. But you have to topup la she said.

So yeah. New tyre, why not. Should be better than j5 (hopefully). So rm138 per donut. The thread almost similar to dunlop j5. No info on any website yet. Hopefully the wet grip is better than cc6, neo3 and even xm2+

Using 175/65r14 before. Now change to 185/60r14.

Did you consider your original sport rim width before changing to 185/60/R14?

Standard rim size width should be 5'5~6' for 185 tires for a balance handling & comfort.

If yours original sport rim should be just 5" just imagine your small feet with a bigger shoe size what will happen when running in high speed or enter a corner fast?

Yes. Considered already. Been asking my friend working as tyre pomen for the suitable tyre size. But didnt change my tyre w him as he worked at my hometown far far away. I changed my tyre in kl.

For 185/60r14 tyre. Can used jj5 up to jj6.5. The recommended one of course jj5.5

Update.

-After 200km.
The tyre is quite good. Better than previous toyo neo3 and conti cc6. This j6 is really quiet. Now i only hear my engine running during driving, not the tyre sound. not like before, the sound of the tyre running on the road was like so loud. Performance during rain is also good. But i only drive 60-80 km/h during rain.

I wonder what changes they rolled out in Sport J6 instead of J5. They didn't even launch this product

It what way it is better than cc6? If is better than cc6, that is a really good tyre from dunlop considering the price.

cc6 is crap tyre on wet surface.. any tyre is better than cc6 (in term of wet grip)

Update after 1100km.

- this tyre is really quiet. I couldnt hear the sound of my tyre like before when i used cc6 or neo3. Just hear my engine sound now. Which is really good

Wet grip is much better than cc6 and neo3. Confirmed. I drove in karak highway last week for work purpose.

Overall, a good tyre w cheaper price tag than cc6, neo3,xm2+ and proxes cr1

nice. still looking for cheap tyre to change

Was it this shop ?

Was also going to order with them; my previous Wira used J5 and I liked them too

Show me the thread that j6.. can ar.. not side pic only

Ya, i want to see the "bunga" also.

already got more pics on the internet. you can google

i used J5 for 75k km (~3.5years) before changing.
this tyre is the only tyre i want to repeat buying.
but it changed to J6.
the shop owner keeps insisting this is made by continental.
i said, i dont care who made this, because i used continental tyre at similar price and it sucks.

On J6, not sure how good it can hold up compared to J5.
J5 is directional and on wet is certainly good.

I don't see many reviews for this new J6 tyre so I'll add my comments.

I had experience with previous J5 on a friend's Myvi with size 175/65R14. Tyre is approx 2 years old.
Comfort and quietness is pretty good. Very similar to previous experience with Mich XM2 and Conti CC6
Dry and wet grip for daily use is very acceptable, didn't really get to push the car since it's a Myvi not a sports car.

This got me interested to try the new J6 on my own Myvi G3
Just got it fitted earlier this week, size 185/60R15

Stock Myvi G3 size is 185/55R15. Decided to up the tyre height due to firm suspension on the Myvi G3 which became unbearable.

First impressions (less than 100km):
Fairly quiet and very comfortable. Very similar to XM2/CC6
Dry grip is good.
Wet grip will test when I get to.

Will report back with further findings in a few months time.


Edit:
In case you're wondering,
XM2 is good for quiet and comfort and it's a very good well rounded tyre for daily use but it's too pricey especially for popular tyre sizes.
CC6 quiet and comfort is excellent but the dry grip is average and the wet grip is really quite bad.

For myvi G3 stock tyre is Goodyear Assurance Triplemax. Grip on this tyre is very good but compound is hard. Not comfortable and very noisy. The J6 and with +5 in profile height transformed the car. Much more livable daily now.


Update 1 Sept 2021 (Tyres ~3 weeks old / 800km mileage):
It's been rainy season the past few weeks.
- Wet grip is good
- Wet braking is acceptable. Myvi brakes suck but the tyres do help.
- Dry braking is good too

Update 17 April 2021 (Tyres ~6 months old / 5000km mileage):
- Still performs as well as new
- Tried same size Michelin XM2 on a friend's car, noticed J6 sidewall seems a tad softer than XM2
- I noticed that the XM2 has slightly better grip in dry compared to J6. Probably due to the stiffer sidewall on XM2
- Comfort and noise on the J6 does seem slightly better than XM2 (based on my own un-scientific judgement the J6 probably ~10% better)
- Also found out recently that the Dunlop J6 has increased in price. Becoming more popular recently or due to inflation? I don't know

Update 29 August 2022 (Tyres 1 year old / 10,000km mileage):
- Still performs as well as new
- Tyre noise is slightly increased when pressure is low (e.g. -40kPa from recommended). Pump air pressure back to manufacturer recommended pressure and its quiet again
- It's not as dead silent as when new, but still relatively quiet (+10% noise compared to when new)

Update 17 April 2023 (Tyres 1yr 8mths old / approx. 15,000km mileage):
- Comfort: Still good
- Noise: Not as quiet as before, still very OK (+30% noise compared to when new)
- Dry grip & Dry braking: Still performs fine under aggressive driving
- Wet grip: Not so good and not very confidence inspiring. Still better than CC6 but with similar age the XM2 definitely outperforms J6 in the wet.
- Wet braking: Stopping distance nowhere as good as when new. Tyre tends to slightly skid/slide when harsh braking in wet (you shouldn't be driving like this in the wet anyway)
- Thread depth: Yet to rotate my tyres but the front threads still looks really new (front wheel drive car)

Update 7 Dec 2023 (Tyres 2yr 5mths old / approx. 22,000km mileage):
- Comfort: Still good
- Noise: Not as quiet as before, still very OK (+30% noise compared to when new)
- Dry grip & Dry braking: Still performs fine under aggressive driving
- Wet grip / Wet braking: Noticeably not as confidence inspiring in the wet
- Thread depth: Yet to rotate my tyres. Front threads look like they've been worn in about 50% at the moment.
Will be rotating my tyres front-back during upcoming service. Definitely won't be doing any aggressive driving in the wet from here on.

Update 13 Sept 2024 (Tyres ~3 years old / approx. 30,000km mileage)
- Comfort: Still good
- Noise: Same as last update
- Dry grip & Dry braking: Same as last update
- Wet grip / Wet braking: Same as last update
- Thread depth: Decided not to rotate my tyres (it's not been rotated at all since I first put them on). Front threads worn in around 70% at the moment. The "Rain/Shine" emboss on the tyre now only has the "Shine" emboss, the "Rain" emboss has dissapeared completely now.

This will be the last update I'll give for these tyres as I'll probably swap them out to try something else once the front threads are gone.
Overall I'm quite happy with these tyres. Only downside is that the wet grip isn't great from the 2 year / 20,000km mark onwards.

These tyres are fantastic if you drive sedately. Comfort and noise levels are still its key strengths. Durability (threadwear) and dry grip is acceptable.
But with abit of spirited driving the tyres will fall short, especially in the wet.

Last of the last update 5 May 2025 (Tyres ~3.75 years old / approx. 40,000km mileage)
- Tyres are flat and dead at this point. The shine emboss is gone as well now
- Surprisingly still fairly decent dry grip and good quietness levels
- Wet grip is not good but still able to cope with decent speeds in the wet
- Changing out my tyres later this week, bye

Shame that this Dunlop Sport J series isnt as popular as other mainstream tires.

Did you get to do a price comparison?

Attached some screenshots from Shopee for comparison between a few tyres I considered.
1. Toyo CR1
2. Michelin XM2
3. Conti CC6
4. Dunlop J6

I was seriously considering between the Toyo and Dunlop.

Ended up going with the Dunlop simply because I had more experience with the older J5.
The J5 tyre is nearing 3 years old but yet still performs well, so that's good enough for me


Attached thumbnail(s)

Don't see 175/65r14 from TPM for the J6 though

Considering to replace them on my MG3 1.3 as well or maybe I'll got one size higher with 185/65r14.

Edit: Nvm, talked to a few tire shops. Can't fit to my current wheels. Better go for 185/60r14.

What's the difference between J6 & J5?

How does the Dunlop J6 compares to Toyo Proxes CR1? Does it perform better and are both Made in Malaysia?

Are you guys happy with Dunlop j6 more than conti cc6 ??

Are you sure hahaha . J am using both of it, mix and match, front conti , behind j6.

Don't feel the difference

My wife went to change to j6 in penang, kena 180/ donut
Fkk... Kena cut throat... The shop near bkt jambul complex .. My usual tyre shop 160 only

I just changed mine at Autohaus

From Cc6 to J6
185/60/r14
Rm173/pcs

Yea quite pricy but as long as they did proper job I dont mind

Got free flow nescafe and snacks too, so thats a plus

We'll wee how it goes with this donut

Hows the ride so far?
Mine feel bit rougher compared to cc6
But of course, cc6 was comfort type, so cant compare much
At the same time, suspect mine lower arm old d, feels uncomfortable bit, maybe need to change first
These tyres seems easy to be dirty and less shiny on the side wall?

Hi bro. After you changed to profile 60 tyre, have you ever experience tyre hitting the inner wheel arch or fender? My bro kept complaining his Myvi G3 ride like a tank with stock GY triplemax tyre. We still have 1st gen & 2nd gen Myvi which is much much comfortable than this 3rd gen. He also complained frequent rubbing the bottom over bump with 4 person with an empty seat(dafuq, its not a wira for god sake). So I’m thinking whether the increased 60 profile tyre is able to solve his complain on ride comfort & bottomed over speed bumps before giving him recommendation.

Hi bro, sorry i haven't logged in to the forum for awhile.

To answer your question, no there is still quite a decent amount of gap between wheel arch and tyre.
My 60 profile tyres do not rub against the wheel arch at all.

I also have a few friends driving older gen Myvi and indeed the older Myvis are significantly more comfortable.
In the G3, the stock 55 profile tyre really makes the car drive too firm.

Overall I'd definitely recommend going with 60 profile tyres on Myvi G3 if you want comfort.
Do note that the added sidewall does make the ride less sporty.

Comfort, noise, tyre wear are very similar (overall both tyres are good in this aspect).

However the biggest downside of Conti CC6 is the terrible wet grip after a year of use.
I personally had a scare with the CC6 some time ago when the tyres lost grip briefly in the rain.

The dry and wet grip in the Dunlop J6 is significantly better than the Conti CC6.

Overall I would recommend Dunlop J6 over Conti CC6.

Hi, any idea how is j6 compared to bridgestone ecopia ep150? I asked a shop thru facebook that has Big signboard showing Continental.... but instead of giving option of continental, dunlop or viking for 185/65/R15 Nissan Almera, they quote for bridgestone ecopia ep150 only.

Hi, has anyone used this on Honda City?
Thinking of changing from the original tyre to either this or Proxes TR1 as they are both selling in a fair price

how the dunlop j6 compared to goodyear atm2? thinking change tyre...

Changed to this tyre on december 2021. After 27k km already nearing the indicator. Maybe by next rotation need change( shoul be around 35k km by than)

Very good wetgrip and dry braking.
Noisy a little bit at 20% b4 indicator
At 10% b4 indicator wetgrip lousy(dont dare corner above 50kmh when raining) but dry grip still cantik

wow, didn't realize J6 come out.

wanna share the experience on J5(1 year use before i switched to 15' rim) on 3 years ago.

it was really good overall based on the price, it's like middle point between cc6 and xm2+.

Really surprised when i saw this Post as i never saw anything about J6.

Bro, you need to try Silverstone M3 that used on Iriz 2014~2015.. That Tyre is the worst Tyre I ever use. CC6 is much better in term of wet grip than this sheit M3, i wonder what Proton was thinking when give this M3 to 1.3 Iriz and M5 to 1.6 Iriz. Crazy

Not sure about silverstone M3 as I believe it is no longer in production. The standard tyres fixed in Iriz, Persona and Saga nowaways are silverstone Kruizer which is miles ahead of CC6 in terms of everything except for noise imo. No idea why CC6 is so popular among Malaysians.

easy,
1. cc6 is comfortable
2. cc6 is quiet
3. cc6 is quite cheap

I've used J5 for 3 years. Very happy, no problem.

The only complaint: the tyre's manufacturing marking is on the inside of the tyre, so you can't see when is the manufactured date. Super ridiculous design...

Not sure if the J6 is still the same lol

cc6 is actually more expensive than some tyres but not much more comfortable and quieter than many better tyres atm2, hankook kinergy, Dunlop j6, yoko es32, Toyo cr1 etc etc.

I guess some people either just prioritize comfort and quieter over safety features or just follow trend.

My previous J5 set lasted 40-50k KM

Something's not right if yours tak sampai 40k

Good news!

welpt, it depends on where you buy it and when, nowadays tyre price increased a lot. i bought my cc6 for 14' like 5~6 years ago for 135rm++ i think. It's 1 of the cheapest you can get for 14' excluding all those weird2 brand that i never heard of.

J6 now 200+ for 195/60 r15. 1st time used j5 150+. 2017. Every year rm10 increase 😅.

hi bro, just wondering have you replaced your atm2 for j6? any say on this?

What about d06? What's the difference between j6 and d06?

in your next tyre change, will you go for J6 again? or go back for ATM2 (stock)?

Haven't tried ATM2 before so I can't comment on it. But definitely won't be going back to stock ATM1, too noisy and harsh.

As for J6, I'd still recommend it if your top priority is quiet and comfort. As for me, based on my aggressive driving style I'm itching to try something different next

I'm really confused whether to get XM2+ or J6. Normally I don't really do spirited drive as I only drive my car twice a week to go for grocery. But once a month, I do genting run in the middle of night to enjoy the cool air. (not crazy la but a bit spirited driving only)

R50 mini fully stock.

genting mileage > food run... get better tyres maybe...

My genting run is not that spirited la to be honest. 20 years old car haha. Only have ASC and ABS. Previous I used J5 > EP150 > Now J6. Just had it changed this morning. I am mind blown how underrated this tyre is. Quiet, respectable wet grip (it is raining in Cyberjaya and did some test earlier). I was about to go for CC7 but only 3 left in stock. CR1 out of stock. My experience with J5 was quite good despite the road noise but J6 is damn quiet.

Ep150 still probably have 50% thread but considering it's already in 4th year, the wet grip is pretty bad. I can feel my front skid a bit on wet road on not really tight corner on Karak highway. Dry grip is still pretty good but getting noisy despite having 220 threadwear.

I actually kinda liking this Dunlop J6.

Edit: I don't drive a lot. Annual mileage probably around 10k km.

Hi there - Would you care to share the price-per-piece you bought your Dunlop SP Sport J6 for?

Also, what was the tyre size and package included in the price?

Example:
RM 170 per tyre (185/60/R14)
• includes Tyre Balancing (on wheel or machine only), Alignment, etc.

Am asking because am looking to replace the tyres for my Myvi soon.

Thank you!

Just sharing , got this tyre from Continental Shopee official shop, at a discounted price RM122 / tyre
Bought 2 tyres
Make Appointment online and install at your chosen shop.
Just need to top up alignment charges

Hi, sharing my experience of using j6 here.
I changed from the stock tyre(GT3 I think )to j6 at June 2022 for my Honda city 175/65 r15.
Manufacture date is around end of 2021.
Overall it's good tyre I guess, as I'm not very sensitive in feeling the impact of the tyre, but I do noticed it has better grip then the stock tyre. I've been driving for 2 and a half years (probably about 30k-40k mileage) with long distance driving once every 2 weeks or so.
On Feb this year, I was driving back to KL through some paved kampung roads. The roads are not big but wide enough for 2 cars. I was trying to "avoid" a lorry that was driving from the opposite so I sort of drive a little bit to the left. Then I could heard loud sound coming from my car, which I then stopped my car at the road side and found out both of the left tyres exploded. I guess it's caused by the sharp edge from the roads.
To be fair, when I was doing my car maintenance on Jan, the mechanics already mentioned that I should change my tyre and had it planned to change on the next maintenance. And it didn't hurt my rim so I just used my insurance for car towing and changed to new tyres.

My Dunlop SP Sport J6 185-60-14 lasted only 2 years.

Installed on May 2023 and now (Jul 2025) time to change already.
I suspect I was given old stock (made a mistake of not checking the date) at PTM Shah Alam (bought via Shopee but installed there) because the tyres did not look new.

My lesson learned is don't always go for the cheapest price (then RM165). I am going to look around shops in KL now. Yes price has gone up to around 200 per pc now.
