Hey guys, currently I'm using the Yokohama ES32 sized 185/60/R14 (size up from stock 175/65/R14) on my Myvi Icon and looking at other brands for my next change.

Previously was on stock Silverstone when I purchased it in 2015. Recently enquired for Michelin XM2+ with a few shops in JB, and most of them are around 210-230 which I felt is slightly expensive for a budget tyre range.

I came across a few suggestions in this forum for my size which are the newer Toyo Proxes CR1 and Dunlop Sport J6. Most of the time the car is used by my family. Sometimes when I use it, I tend to tekan a bit.

Please advise which would be a better choice for among the two in terms of safety and performance. Would either choices be better than my current ES32? Thanks.

Personally I prefer Dunlop Sport J6. Based on user reviews, seems to be quite a well balanced tyre.

I've bad experience with Toyo tyres before. Too soft, wears out quickly. Sidewall easily damaged

DunloP J6 is a lousy tyre, wear fast, noisy and less grip. CR1 new tyre no comment.
Im using Conti UC6 vs Mich Primacy 4. UC6 quieter, more comfortable but wear slightly faster than Primacy 4. Mich is overrated for me especially the price.

Dunlop J6 not that cheap also. Might as well just go for Michelin XM2+ which is known for its reliability and balanced performance.

Otherwise go for super cheap ones such as westlake etc

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm also open to other options from the two mentioned.

I'm happy with ES32's balanced performance, apart from getting multiple punctures in the last 3 years.

Just wanted to know if there are any better tyres to try.

Those tires seem to downgrade from ES32, if want to upgrade better go up to Michelin or Bridgestone tires.
