Hi guy,

I am driving a Camry and prefer most quiet and comfortable tyre.

I dun think I need control series because when I drive my wife Wira, there are huge differences between normal and control series on wet surface... But on Camry, even normal tyres can cut through water without problem.

Any recommendation?

Hmmmm i'm using Continental ComfortContact, to me i'm really satisfied with it.. In wet n dry the performance is quite good.. Noise level also quite low..
The price is quite nice also..
Sooo i'm giving it a thumbs up

if price is not much an issue, michelin pilot preceda should meet your requirement.

reason why your camry can cut water without problem on normal tyres are due to the fact that your camry is heavier than wira, therefore making it more stable and produce more contact to the road, compared to the lighter wira.

Thanks...

I also think of the same reason... I believe surface of the tyre also bigger for better grip... It is why I just want to focus on quiet and comfortable lo...

i'll vote for michelin.. my father also using camry... but the new one laa...

the price is about 500 for 1 tire without installation and adjustment... anyway.. tires using 17" inch rims ain't that cheap

my vote goes for Michelin too. it is quiet, comfortable and long lasting

Oh... Thanks...

I am also now looking at Michelin... Now the question is which model...

How about?

Do you guys know the pricing?

Every tire is the same just that every company has diffrent quality control of it. i will go for Dunlop for the best , for the worst i go for not korean but Toyo Tires

here are some interesting tire thread for you.

michelin pilot preceda, japan imported 1

My Camry using Mic XM1 its comfortable and quiet but i don think the grip is that good compare with goodyear ducaro Ga

Thank you so much... especially for the website...

From the Michelin website, it seems the MXV8 are the best on papers... and price listed on the

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=377857&hl=

Michelin MXV8 (Japan) - Rm290 Puchong
Michelin MXV8 (Japan) - Rm285 Hin Leong

also indicating they are slightly more expensive than others... so make sense...

I guess this should be the model I am looking for... right?

Few questions here;

Q1: Where is the manufacturing date printed? And does MXV8 only from Japan?

Q2: About 205/45/R16, what does the number mean? My car is 195 right? How about other number?

u should say because of the heavy car body, the pressure of the 4 wheels towards the ground is increase

Michelin

if want comfort then dont go for 45 series, go for 205/50R16 or 205/55R16, 45 will be more bumpy compare to 50 bumpy

Try Bridgestone GR80.

MXV8 205/55/16 is on my old ride many years ago..made in Japan, smooth and silent.

i'll vote for michelin too. But do check out falken azenis. They have a particular tyre that is supposedly advertised in car audio magazines around the world. Looks of people say its a very quiet tyre.

Thanks.. I belive the car is heavy la... Look at the fuel consumption speak it all..

Good... As fat as me... I like it

What does the 45, 50 series mean... Please explain....

Thanks... Might get those if what I wanted is too expensive... like RM400 or more per tyre...

Seems Michelin got the highest and consistence supporters here.

mich xm-1 cheap and good

falken ze912 is fine too!
