TS drives very fast. CC6 is too dangerous for him. Faster than 110 CC6 and CC7 probably not suitable.

Why not Primacy?

I asked my colleagues just now also they recommend this, sounds good ya, know any place that can get them for good price?

Primacy price is not that far off PS5, so why not go all the way. Primacy does perform very close to PS series but only when you are driving sensibly. The braking and cornering for example is not on par with PS. Since you like to drive fast, might as well go all the way and protek other roadusers.

I am too 2021 vios and was thinking to exchange 4 tyres.
How about spare tyre? It will be aged 3 years old by nw and will be getting aged if you not using it or replace it.

How long is a period of time to keep as a spare tyre?

Toyota Vios original 16in is using either 195/50/R16 or 185/55/R16 tires.
If not mistaken Michelin only got XM2+ tires only. No PS3,4,5 series for this size.

Another option is upgrade the size to 205/45/R16, this got PS3 series but you need to consider your sport rim width.

https://tiresize.com/tiresizes/205-45R16.htm
Min Sport Rim width need Wheel : 16" x 6.5-7.5"

As usually original sport rim is very thin/less width to support bigger tires. Just imagine your current small feet (sport rim width) wearing a big oversize shoe, how the effect when running fast?

1st confirm sport rim width, if within 6.5-7.5" width than can upgrade 205/45/R16

2nd consider upgrading wider sport rim or bigger size like 17" and use 205/40/R17 tires, this got PS5 tire option

He prefers less tyre noise too. PS is louder than Primacy, not as comfy as well.

Can try looking around on lazada or shopee

Why does tyre noise still matters when he obviously said he's gonna be fast (up to 180KMH)? That wind noise gonna kill him first.

Up to him. Usually PS is about RM100 more expensive than Primacy. Go for it if you want TS, but my opinion is Primacy is sufficient.

I’m a bit of a want it all… i know how that sounds haha.

I know there isnt any perfect tyre to block noise and performant at the same time. To block noise, i think I will have to look for other aspects of the car parts.

I will go for primacy.

My tyre size is 195/50R16 but I see the options available in shopee and lazada for 195 width are

195/55R16
195/60R16

Would them fit?

This I’m not sure. Might need to refer to shop

definitely can fit your rims, but might hit wheel well when steering fully rotate

and speedometer will be off, need recalibrate

195/50/16 or 185/55/16

195/55/16 can try but maybe will kena when full turn steering

Golden rule of changing different size is never exceed the 3% diameter rule. Once out of that, not only speedometer will run, fuel consumption, safety related like ABS/VSC and suspension geometry also will impact due to different tire size, car height and also tire weight.

Nowadays cars with all those electronic safety system are calibrate and set at manufacturer side using factory fitted tires. If your ride got ADAS system, bigger tires also will cause overall car height change and need to recalibrate the ADAS system.

A lot of tire shop dont even care about this, as in the end once paid and drive off the shop is your own risk already.

My vios 2021 also due for tyre change! Let us all go same shop and nego 🤣

is there such a way to edit adas system

Sent for recalibration, this is where they reset the ADAS system to match the latest height.
Currently most can only be done at certified SC, maybe some glass replacement shop can do it also.

becos mine is lowered. will go ask sc first
