Sugen, at this price of RM315 each, I would think to go for Michelin Primacy LC. Now only slightly short of 20k km for the 3rd service. Already doing research of tyres....

Yesterday, I changed to my 4 set of tyres for the Rondo.

Continental PremiumContact 2 215/60 R16 @ RM360 each.

So far so good but not as performance-skewed as my previous set of Dunlop Veuro VE302s.

My Rondo STOCK TYRES KUMHO KH 15. good in taking corners, and low noise when riding over pot holes / irregularities on the road. High speed stable. The only imperfection (which I am not sure if selecting other tyres can solve) is road noise at > 110 km/h.

You are welcomed. To be precise, it is KUMHO SOLUS KH 15.
Another important factor need to mention, Rondo's recommendation for tyre pressure is 220 kPa cold pressure, all 4 tyres the same. However, for light throttle purpose so that Rondo is easy to roll away from stationary, I pump to 270 kPa cold pressure. And this maybe the reason why there are tyre noises and road noises when driving at high speed. At low speed (90km/h or lower) is ok with this 270 kPa. DON'T TRY IF YOU ARE NOT COMFORTABLE with this high tyre pressure...

lionelstep, urs EX or EXS? Just want to confirm wether KUMHO have 16 inch for EXS.

Mine 60K milage and 3 years still with the original Goodyear NCT5 so far still in fair condition, not to bad for daily driving.

Planning to change next year.

Sugen, the Continetal CC5 that i saw at tyre shop here is 1 side thread pattern (got stated inside/outside), so you cannot rotate left to right, correct me if i'm wrong.

Unless your chamber all in +ve territory, i think i would prefer normal thread pattern so can rotate later.

No doubt NCT5 is super noisy especially on highway, my standard not so high so can live with it as long as I have a safe journey (I do allignment every 10K km).
