This is comfort tyre or what?. based on thread pattern is comfort tyre. quite reputable also kumho brand. u can try bro, then give feedback here. as different people, may have different user experience

Hello, between Hankook Ventus Prime 4 & Michelin Primacy 5, which one more comfortable and more gooding?.

Size 225/50R17
Price Hankook Prime 4 is RM380
Price Michelin Primacy 5 is RM 550

Currently using Hankook Ventus Prime 3, All I can see, this tyre comfort level is very good. but, only one downside, the tyre is not that silent. everything else, handling, wet, dry, comfort level, braking, all I satisfied. Its like a perfect tyre for my diriving pattern.

Always in my mind want to change into prime 4 until primacy 5 come out. only downside I see about primacy 5 is design is so damn ugly. dont know u all agree or not about this. lol.

What u notice switch from Ventus 3 into Primacy 4?. can tell me the difference.. Primacy 4 design is quite beautiful, but suddenly primacy 5 design is very different. michelin really want to differentiate the design maybe, dont want to look same like pilot sport 5. but design primacy 5, quite weird. If primacy 5 design as beautiful as pilot spot 5, I not hesitate to pull the trigger.

One more things, I remember, I ask shop, the price of continental max contact 7, is almost same as primacy 5 for 225 50 17. but max contact 7 is not touring tyre right. but threads pattern show mc7 is like comfort tyre wo. or this mc7 compund is hard type?. I interested with mc7 threads too, but scared not comfortable as ventus 4 and primacy 5

Do u think MC7 will be harsh if compared to premium touring tyre?. I tot MC7 tire compound is a bit stiff due to uhp..but I do read user review this tyre sidewall a bit soft, so that made me include this tyre in consideration. before end of this month, will change either into vp4, primacy 5 or mc7

Wow..kinda shocking see prime 4 won over primacy 5 in dry braking. while other aspect, I expected already see primacy 5 won. pricing also quite far between these two although they are in the same category.

One things, really accurate is noise. as my current VP3 not that silent, quite noisy and it show in this test, which show VP4 is noisy 2db compare to primacy 5.

Btw, tq for the info. will see more touring tyre in this website.
