I believe he already answered.
They got their own quality & tolerance control, even in different plant or country the formula should be still similar for same tire model.

Do research bro, if the tire model you interest to buy is from reputable brand usually got EU label which indicate the noise db level.

1) Yes
2) 4motion = AWD, AWD rides need change all 4 tires at once (Please read your manual book!)
3) MC6 is UHP tires, if you want equivalent or better tires (UHP/Max Performance) you need to get at least like Michelin PS4/PS5 SUV tires, Bridgestone Potenza Sport/RE004, Goodyear Eagle F1 AS 5/6, Falken FK510 SUV, Hankook S1 Evo3...

If 4 wheel drive or AWD you need balance tire treads to prevent early failure/wear of differential.
If the old & new 1 got wide tire tread thickness difference it may impact vehicle performance.
It is recommend to change all 4 tires and not just 2 new tires to the rear.

https://www.dunntire.com/blog/Tire-Replacem...nd-AWD-Vehicles

In fact, studies have shown that differences of just 2/32 of an inch in tire tread between tires on the same vehicle can impact vehicle performance. For example, if you were to replace just two tires on your AWD or 4WD vehicle, you would have a slightly larger diameter on the new tires, due to deeper tread. A small difference in the front and back tire diameter means the two axles are always turning at different speeds, even if the car is going straight down a highway. This is contrary to how the vehicle was designed to operate and will likely lead to early malfunction.

For all AWD/4WD system car or pickup the manual book always list to rotate the tires frequently and change all 4 at once. It is not recommended to just change either front or rear or just 1 pcs due to the reasons above.

The only way for owner to change only 2 tires is do tyre shaving by reducing the new tyre tread thickness to match the other 2 older tyre thickness or diameter, but this method is not common nowadays in Malaysia and consider a waste for new tyre. Only those old shop which do tyre celup in the past may still got these machine available, but newer shop a lot of them did not even knew about this method.

When rotate it is better to at least do balancing for the front tires first, everytime i do rotate i will ask to check or do balancing for the front the cost is not much some only RM5~10/pcs.

turanza also normal comfort base tires, the real performance stuff is the Potenza series.

If want sporty types tires for smaller size can try get Maxxis or special order Yokohama/Toyo tires from Japan.
If not mistaken i got friend using Yokohama Advan series for 14" kelisa, heard the price not cheap almost 2xx/pcs.

Some potenza series are consider semi-slick or summer max performance tires, if you get those tires usually sucks in wet but during hot day the grip is damn good. If you open your window can hear those sand sticking to the tires on hot weather, better dont use it during wet condition.

Toyo CR1 is just normal touring tires.
Nexen RU1 is consider as performance SUV tire which is also OEM to Porsche Macan tires.
So which 1 better? Google it if dont believe.

Want good FC, good throttle response, dont want sacrificing handling.. Kek.. Upgrade sport rim tire size kedai tak bagitau impact ke?

Problem 1 - Tire size terus jump dari 175/70/13 -> 195/50/15, biasa orang test size 1 up 185/60/R14 dulu tengok boleh accept tak. Wira 1.6/1.8 pakai 14" pun handling cun jugak. Kalau 15" size paling dekat 185/55/15..
Problem 2 - Ape sport rim you guna? Sport rim kena ringan baru jimat minyak, kalau berat lebih baik pakai balik 13" atau downgrade 14". Kalau sport rim berat gile downgrade tire size pun tak kan help banyak.

Your absorber, lower arm bush, driveshalf everything in good condition or not? Before you claim tire problem, your car condition confirm is good & no problem?

What is the difference between Car, 4x4 and SUV Tyres
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTB3sMS2Aqo

Nop. SUV & 4X4 tires are totally different. Proper SUV tires usually got higher load support, dual side wall layer & also higher treadwear for long lasting compare to normal passenger tires.

FYI
In Subaru Xv group some member using Michelin Primacy 4 on their rides and reported sidewall bulging & even cracks, similar to factory fitted MC5.
If you look into the tire details most passenger tires like Primacy 4 & MC5 only 1 layer sidewall (tire size 225/55/17 & 225/60/17), compare to similar size SUV tires usually got 2 layers. Which mean you got better protection when hitting potholes or side impact for SUV tires compare to passenger tires on similar size.

Most member which upgraded to Continental UC6 SUV reported last higher mileage & less sidewall issues compare to original MC5 tires. MC5 average around 50~60,000km, while UC6 lasted around 80~100,000km.

If your solely looking at braking performance or better cornering/grip there are specialize tires like Nexen RU1, Pirelli Russo, Falken FK510 SUV, Michelin PS4 SUV which can support high performance SUV rating tires.

My fathers BMW also swap all the run-flat to normal tires, no regrets until today.

Advantage - Cheaper, more comfort, lighter, more choice in market

Disadvantage - phobia of serious punctures as no spare tire on ride.

TS is tire engineer not tire reviewer.. Dont think he got so much time testing each tire in market..

https://www.tyrereviews.com/

Just go to this website and check other people reviews & test results if available.

Bro, if your serious just ask tire shop order it if you want. Go to official tire distributor of your preferred brand, usually they got software or contact to order direct from factory compared to those smaller tire ship which only cut stock from them. Nowadays most main distributor got keep few special size at their warehouse, if lucky within few days can ship to your house or tire shop. i once order classic car tire 165R15 from China, took the cheapest logistic by Sea wait 2 months since no hurry, if got money i believe within 2 weeks also can get if got stock ready worldwide using flight. Same for those supercar owners, most of their tire size also special and mostly imported via demand.
