great.

Planning for wife Persona tyre replacement 195/60-15 (currently on GY NCT5 )

And a friend is looking for 205/50-16 . (Currently on bald Falken 912 )

Both cars need comfort tyres and with tight budget smile_blush.gif

Thanks

p/s - i called my friend just now to stop hunting Bstone MY01. haha. waiting for AW forumers reply about comfort entry level tyres

for 195/60 R15 as bro VR said not much u can try, maybe can go for the old V8rs which quite a numbers of ppl mention it is good smile.gif but not that quiet after sometime though cos it is directional tires smile.gif
for 205/50 R16 the best choice is Falken 912 or Hankook V12 both about similar in price but if you don mind u can try new Maxxis i-Pro also, it is Traction rated at "AA"... u can be our white mice tongue.gif

thank u

will visit Hankook dealer at KB tomorrow.

in worst case, which local tyres are the best ? Silverstone vs Sime

Sorry lah, no comment. Not even Local GY or Dunlop.
The only tyres that I can think of if you want to try local are GY Assurance and Dunlop D01

In comfort and quiet, I would think so. Newer technology and more current than ES501

Are u sure u can find V550? if yes might be old stock I think.
