Quiet tyres

[vr2turbo]

Any tyres that can pass your testing and inspection deserves a look.

But I don't really test that much tyres......lol

Performance orientated wait for CPC6....

Ya, but TS looking for a daily/non-sport purposed one. If he is below 17" i would recommend XM2 which by far gave me very quiet experience.

Will look for PS4 and Asy3 pricing. Using XM2 on a Myvi, sound wise is ok but kinda pricy for a entry level tyre.

Btw between PS3 vs V551, is the sound level really obvious? Michelin Primacy ST vs Yoko dB which is quieter?

Thanks for the replies guys.
Basically this will be for my stock daily ride. Not looking to attack corners with it but at least can travel safely on highways 140-160kmh on dry. Car soundproofing is pretty bad, hence the need for quieter tyres.
I've tried PS3 before but it is rather noisy, no doubt grip is good (but soft sidewalls).
Is Goodyear Asy3 quiet? Never heard of a quiet Goodyear tyres.
Is PS4 much quieter than PS3?
Since V551 is bad in rain, I'll skip that.
What's the price like for PS4 or Asy3 size 205/45/17?

Fleva should be relatively quiet (rated at 67-69db only) but yeah not sure anymore of how good the grip is, some say pretty good some say not so.

F1A2/3 seems to be the best choice for high performance tires but relatively quiet too (also rated around 67-69db) which is a very rare combo, but the price is pretty steep as still made in Germany.

PS4 maybe quieter than PS3 but I suspect not so much difference. It's still rated at 70-71db if not mistaken which is twice as loud as the Fleva & F1 noise rating! (any 3db increment means twice as loud).

Other option that you may consider are Hankook V12 Evo2 and S1 Evo2, but both are also still rated 70-72db.

Others like F1D5 and Continental CSC5/3 are also rather noisy.

So yeah, not many choices. if got money go for the F1A2/3. If no budget then maybe only the Fleva. Otherwise just forget about the noise la, it won't improve your car's handling nor safe you in emergency situation so not important. Just do like I do, turn the music louder! (I'm using CSC5 & 3 btw).

Probably V551 more quiet as the thread pattern very fine and grooves small....lol
But before going into all the tyres, set your tyre size first then look for the tyre model. I remember tyre size 205/50R16 some models do not have and 195/50R16 even less choices.... :hmmmm:

Had experience with Hankook RS2 years back, great grip but started minor cracking after 2 years+ usage. Price should not be a problem as I drive pretty less. Just 20k/year and with tyres rotation, could probably last 4years or so.
Among Advan dB, Primacy ST, V551 (or any other quiet comfortable tyres), which has the better wet traction? Not looking for the best wet traction tyres but should not be worse than Goodyear Excellence.

Actually Advan dB is the V551. Others similar range under comfort performance are Michelin P3ST, Toyo C1-S, BS GR-100, GY EfficientGrip, Pirelli Cinturato P7, Conti CPC5, maybe Yoko New AE-50 also

If you want to have better wet grip at least look for tires with traction rating AA.

Or drive slower in the rain.....lol

My friend Evo X came with Dunlop SP600 extreme performance tyres. Already bad in the wet, then when half worn was extremely bad. Cannot even drive pass 80kph in rain, so fast fast change to Asy2 then later to PSS....

Any wet tyres to recommend guys? I don't speed in the rain (averaging 100km/h only if visibility isn't a problem. Just better be safe than sorry. Seriously considering PS4. RM420 without GST.

Then go for it, PS4 is the best choice now. But it might not be as quiet as you may expect.

Sorry double post!

Yup, agree. If can afford PS4 just go ahead......

Got some joker said Yoko Fleva are "truck tyres" in LY.

HAHAHAHAHA! Better don later you get "truck noise" and "truck performance".

Personally I think stick with the safe brands. PS4/Assy3/AdvanDB etc are pretty ok la. DB isn't great in the rain but just slow down la. 80-90 max if I were you. I hated them cuz I couldn't drive like I used to in the rain only. Otherwise they were quite silent (got noise, not impossibly quiet, but quieter than normal) and considering I had them 60 profile on 15" rims they were good. But so damn expensive.

Good not cheap mah!......hhahahhaha

Fleva V701 also under Advan category, should not be that bad lah......lol

Haha truck tyres.
I just got an offer for RE003 @ RM303/pc all in.
Kind of irresistable. Any advice on this? Is the RE003 considered a noisy tyre or average sounding tyre?

It's a sticky tyre. Sticky tyres are not quiet tyres. Last time i was following a car with RE003 going up Ulu Yam and that car was flinging rocks at my car.

I honestly doubt it'll be quiet.
