New Tyres For My Chery Tiggo Suv

My tyre size of 235/60R16 got a few to choose from. Passenger car Conti CC5, BS new GR-100, GY Efficient Grip SUV or Yokohama Geolandar H/T or their New Geolandar SUV to name a few.
Previous tyres were Conti CC1 that came with the car, so did not want the CC5. No H/T tyres because it will be noisy, so finally decided to try the New Yokohama Geolandar SUV said to be quiet, Comfy and have good rolling resistance.
Fitted them at Quicksave, USJ.

All four tyres with 35psi , the tyre shop personnel was not wrong because that is the recommended air pressure for a loaded SUV, but in town I use the lowest recommended and that is 30psi. After reducing all to 30psi can feel the SUV was much more comfortable...
Running over the yellow lines, previously a lot of thump thump thump, now a more quiet tub, tub, tub....
Now, after about 3 weeks plus of use, the tyres seems to have run in further. It felt even more quiet and comfortable. As this is a family SUV, I drive my VR slightly more then this SUV, my wife drives it too so what is better to ask her for her opinion too.
She only knows that the tyres have been changed, but she do not know much about tyres. So when I ask her how she felt about the tyres, she said more quiet and much more comfortable. This is in comparison to the previous set of passenger car tyre the Conti CC1. What shock me more was she added, but I feel the SUV now does not slow down much when I decelerate. So I told her this tyre have low rolling resistance and this suppose to aid in better fuel economy. If this came from her without her knowing then the tyre really have good rolling resistance.....

On the highway they were pretty good. Stable and planted. Went through a heavy shower along the way and with no aquaplaning issue.
On noise issue it depends a lot on the road. Even on tarred road, on some it was quiet and on some not so quiet. On concrete part of the highway as usual, different tyre noise with different pitch.
Overall, very happy with the tyres......

Front left tyre - slightly more wear on the left shoulder, probably due to many roundabout at my area
Front right tyre - only slight wear even after 5k km

Front tyre
The tyres are hardly worn even though already done more than 10k km on them. As you can see only the outer shoulder got some wear
Rear Tyre
The rear tyre shows even less wear, like still brand new. With 600 thread wear rating, this tyre will be very long wearing.....
