Hi guys nee a tyre recommendations for my Inspira.

Currently using Goodyear Efficient grip 225/50R17 on it. It was Ok. Comfort wise is and dry grip is decent but wet grip not so much. It aquaplane worse then my previous Hankook Ventus noble s2.

Main use for daily drive, long distance drive for work. Maybe some occasional corner whacking but mostly lots of driving. So tyre with good thread wear is a plus.

Either 215/50 or 225/50 on 7.5jj 17" wheels.

Its either going back to hankook as I have good experience with it and affordable price or between this 2 tyres.

1.Goodyear Efficient grip performance
2. Goodyear Eagle F1 Sport

Other suggestions is welcomed

I'll be buying it thru shopee/lazada as tyre price here is absurd

Will add on my list to read review, currently leaning heavy on primacy 4 as it seams like a good all rounder with good thread wear

Hey there, smart choice to buy it via online smile.gif

Based on my tire price table list here

Kumho Ecsta PS31 225/50R17 364
Goodyear EfficientGrip 225/50R17 420
Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 225/50R17 425
Continental UC6 225/50R17 (NEW UC7) 488
Continental Max Contact 6 225/50R17 515
Michelin Primacy 4st 225/50R17 568
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/50R17 (NEW PS5) 630

If wet grip is your priority, MC6 or UC7 could be a good choice

Ideally Primacy 4st is a good choice if affordability is not an issue.

Tyre price here is absurd😅

700 for primacy 4 where as online I can get as cheap as 450 for Y21 tyre.

Thanks for the recommendation with price, price wise if can get best bang for buck then definitely will good. Read some good reviews for Hankook Ventus prime 4 but seems like the tyre is not available in Malaysia, only prime 3

if your aiming for Michelin Primacy 4, better take a look for Bridgestone Turanza T005, Goodyear & even Hankook.

Nowadays Michelin performance drop until near mid range already but still charging people premium price.. doh.gif

Hi yes thanks, saw some goo deals on 2021 primacy 4 but then no more stock. now considering others.

currenly I'm using 225/50/17, will going down to 215/50/17 have be significant? as the price gap is quite big if buying 4 pcs

how about nexen nfera su4? is it good

Please stick to your original tire size if still using original sport rim and suspension.
Engineers spend a lot of time testing different tire range to suit the car handling, comfort, safety & fuel efficient concern.

If you can look into Nexen, why not go for Hankook if got same size? I believe the price difference wont be too much.

My Inspira comes with 205/60/16 tho. lol

I've went up to 225/45/18 for quite a while, better response in handling feels but loose in comfort part. Also plus points in looks department.

Went down to 225/50/17 and finds it strike a good balance in diving feedback and also comfort while still maintains a good look.

Previously already used hankook ventus noble2, great experience but price here is expensive and I can get better tyres at that price online while online a bit hard to find the tyre at that size.

Of the 2 above get the F1 Sport.

If you want best value for money or even cheaper but still good, get Maxxis Victra I-Pro, it's available for 225/50/17. I am using a 15' size on my Swift Sport and very happy with them.

If your priority is aquaplane resistance, then go for HP tayar (less comfort and noisier).

based on my personal experience (on diff tayar size though), the Noble 2 has poorer aquaplane resistance compared to Goodyear EfficientGrip.

BlueEarth GT is good and cheap but not silent type. I'm surprised by the wet performance.

Primacy 4 is a good all-arounder but the price is too expensive. Currently on Primacy 4 215/45r17 (60% meat left) and i have no issues with aquaplaning. However i am not satisfied with its wet performance on my other vehicle with 235/55r17 size.

Yeap primacy 4 is darn expensive, was about to order a 2021 tyre for 458 per donut but it was finished already.

My experience was otherwise with noble 2 I find it better vs efficient grip. But noble 2 was 225/45/18 and efficientgrip on 225/50/17. Dry grip was excellent tho for efficient grip.

Found falken azenis fk510 year 2018 for cheap in shopee 319 per donut and read some good reviews about it. Might consider this .

Only thing holding me back is the manufacturing year. Waiting for the seller to get back on the actual manufactured week. But as I read tyre should be fine until 6 years if kept properly. And on average my tyre finished after 1 year + average.
