If the VE302 is from Japan, then bro. DC18 is correct.
Actually Dunlop started with the LM701, then LM702 which were from Japan also.
Then with the LM703 they shifted production to their factory in Indon.....

I am using VE302 now in 215/60 R16 size. Yes, they are made in Japan.

Initial impressions were very impressive. Silent, grippy with good water dispersion.

After 5k km, everything else is still good but the noise levels are significantly up smile_angry.gif Current noise levels are marginally better than my previous set of Dunlop Direzza DZ101s.

Direzza are high performance tyres, therefore noisier......The VE302 are suppose to be premium comfort tyres....

My point being, as premium comfort tyres, I would expect the Veuro to be much quieter than the Direzza.

Tyre noise is a very wide field. Some will still find those so call quiet tyre to be noisy, Some will find performance tyres to be quiet. It also depends on the car NVH, the suspension setup, the way the tyre thread pattern wear, on what road you are running on, and so on....
If you still find the Veuro noisy, then you will have to try tyres like Primacy LC, and if that is still noisy, then I don't know what tyre else you can use.....

also depends on road condition, the federal highway is the worse, any tyre also will have the roar sound

Awaiting your feedback....... smile_tongue.gif


9 months have pass, cant remember exactly the mileage, but the tyre is as good as new, corner grip in wet & dry are as good as new... Was damn silent when driving even till to date...

BUT, my car camber was too negative for the front, hence tyre eat very fast, the rear one are ok. Look like got to look for tyre soon....
When the sun go down, another world awakes....
