Hi sifu, is there any quieter tyre as compare with stock Toyo Proxes R46 225/22/19 on Mazda CX8? I plan to swap Toyo out for quieter and if possible those better grip under web condition. A friend was recommending UC6 to me.

please don't for UC6, the worst ever tire at raining time. Try check FB marketplace, many selling the UC6 with very2 low mileage, and good tyre tread cz all fed up with the wet grip. Most selling the 225/55/19 at rm100-140 per pcs for used with good tread balance.
No experience, but saw few Giti model tyre got tyre foam inside for quite ride.

I've been using UC6 for over a year and I think it's decent on wet

It's no Michelin (Primacy 4ST, PS4 , PS5 that I've all used extensively personally)
But it's decent enough.

Thanks for sharing.

Bridgestone Alenza 001

Toyo Proxes CR1 SUV/ CF2 SUV
Michelin Primacy SUV
Goodyear Efficientgrip SUV

Most tires when new also quieter, tires after a while when harden or low treads will create more road noise.
Even some tires manufacturer purposely put noise maker like small bumps in treads to create more tire noise when hit the safety wear limit.

Thanks for recommendation. Had tried google for days but can't find much info in comparison with Toyo. Thus trying to check in forum smile.gif
