XM2+ or CC7, which is the better tyre?

But previously I was using XM2, after 3 years, the tyre is noisy as hell... 

That's why I am afraid to use XM2+ due to the noise level after a few years.

Guys,

i'm currently using Civic FC with PS4 at stock sizes, 215/50 R17. But since PS5 doesn't have that size, they have only 215/45 R17 and 215/55 R17, should i go for 215/17 R17 for PS5..?

if i change tire from 165/55R14 to 165/80R14, i get more comfort ? is there anything that i should be aware of?
looking for better tire to go through our roads with cracks and potholes 

165/60R14 within tolerance or not?

Hi to all, I got question to ask the tyre experts here.

My tyres bought on 2/10/21. When balancing, mechanic said can see tyre threads are not rotating straight. When tyres on balancing machine spinning, you can see the threads forming a wavy, left right pattern. Out of 4 tyres, 3 tyres showing certain degree of the wavy pattern. Mechanic also said 1 of the tyres not round anymore, slightly off shape but the feel of his hands and also mentioned no point balancing the tyres at current condition. Tyres also showing hairline cracks on the sidewall.

Are the above signs of issue with tyres or just something normal? I'm not sure if mechanic is falsely diagnosing the tyres?

I did went back to original tyre shop to ask seller how come tyres are like that. Not sure if they are pulling a fast one? They said the wavy pattern and hairline cracks are normal which also happen on other well known brand like michelin, bridgestone, etc. They also said if tyre really as mentioned, he wont be able to balance the tyres which he could balance it on his machine.

I have a SUV fitted with Continental UC6. Barely 3 years old, the tyre (front left) burst with almost all of the side wall ripped apart.

Been very careful on the tyres' pressure too.

Any particular reasons?

Hi Sifus, I'm currently using a Atlas Batman (china car, china tyre) size 215/55R18. Thinking of changing the tyre to Hankook Ventus S1 Evo3 size 235/60R18.

That seems to be the 'almost similar' size to the original size I feel.
Can this fit well? Is it a good choice? Any better alternatives?

you must either be orang kaya or noob about cars.. people dont change tires at 16K, instead people do tire rotation and alignment/balancing..

unless you every weekend go sepang burn rubber..

Maxxis ipro or vp4 fr 235/45/18?

For hankook ventus prime 4 vs continental UC7, which is better?
Size is 185/55R16

Hankook VP4  - RM190
Continental UC7 - RM215

Currently using potenza ree004, planning to go for hankook VP4 will it be an upgrade or a downgrade?

size is 215/50/17

currently using Michelin XM2+ 185 / 55 / 16 and I need to change them soon.

is the Hankook VP4 205 / 50 / 16 a good choice or is it a downgrade ?

running them on a Honda City GM2.

thanks.

that was what I was worried about ...

195 is the ideal choice for many Honda City GM2 users but sadly the VP4 doesnt come in 195 / 50 / 16 ...

switching back to stock size of 185 / 55 / 16 is an option as that is the OEM size and the VP4 does come in that size ...

195 / 50 / 16 seems to be perfect but not available for VP4 ...

sad ...

what are the next best options besides xm2+ ???

Hi, was wondering if anyone did comparison between toyo tr1, yoko advan fleva v701, and potenza re004?

Looking to change tyres for Proton saga flx.
