My Rondo EXS has reach almost 50k KM and the tyre is about to wear out from the stock tyre.. I realise that not much choice we got for the 205 60 R16.. Any recommendation of what brand? I would like to have a quite tyre and good handling..

Had mine changed to Toyo C1S 215 60 16 at 25k kms; easier as this is Camry size. No issues about the mounting. You will find difficult to get stock size.. ;-) My selection criteria is the same as yours. Have been enjoying the ride so far. The price is a bit cheaper than Michelin PLC but hope you can get it at your area though. I got mine in Johor but Klang is the other place where you can get cheaper doughnuts. The other model I considered was Michelin XM1 though..
Hope this helps!

U change the size to 21560R16? How about the handling as the tire is wider.. I am sourcing Bridgstone Turanza A10 is about RM 320 according to forumers..I want quite tyre.. Any more recommendation? How about pricing? Your stock tyre worn out at 25k KM? so fast?

Comfort levels have improved significantly as expected (with the higher tyre height) and cornering has also improved (better tyre).
Downside is that acceleration has suffered.

So your stock tyre last for how many KM before kick in this one? Does this tyre affect your FC? My SC here do not encourage for the tyre's upgrade.. I just checked, Dunlop Veuro VE302 got 20560R16 right? Is this a soft tyre like Bridgestone? Veuro is new tyre design & is a product of year09. Made in Japan right..

Yes, it is a recently launched tyre and this will be my 2nd time using the Veuros as I also have the same size on my Sonata. They are made in Japan. Bought them at Hup Shun Sunway.
Veuros are also available in 205/60 R16 but it is difficult to find them and I believe this size will cost more due to the scarcity in the market.
My stock tyres (Dunlop Formula D01) lasted 35k km. The 2nd set (Falken ZE912) lasted 25k km. Veuros will be the 3rd set. Don't ask. I drive like a madman
