Tyre Recommendation. Budget $150/piece

[Mack]

Hi guys

 

I'm driving a Forte SX and plan to change my stock Kumho 17 after 3 years.

 

The KH 17 are pretty decent but don't really hold up well under wet weather.

 

I'm looking for tyres which are slightly more performance based.

 

I can tolerate some road noise and bumpiness.

 

Tyre profile is 215/45R/17

 

Budget $150 per piece

 

Any recommendations from the bros here?

215...must tolerate with noise

45R...sure suffer bumpiness

 

$150 per peice can try Mexis or Kenda

 

[Rmteamrims]

at approx. this price, can try the lower range of Pirelli -PZero NERO

Are there other profiles that you would recommend?

[Noa_higs]

try KU31 if you don't mind kumho again. well within your budget with change to spare. cant get better dry and wet grip at that price imho

Try Hankook..

[Grimicer]

can try hankook v12 but had a few friends with QC issues.alternatively, yokohama s-drive is decently priced.

Are Kumhos now MIC?

 

I'm rather worried abt the build quality.

 

My current ones are MIK.

Fr good wet/dry grip n handling i suggest yokohama a.drive R1.

 

I used many years n never disappointed. Noise is low too.

 

My size is 205/45/16 at abt $130ea so yrs at 17" sud b a but higher but its still cheap fr what it offers.

 

Tire made in philippines n is considered as semi-performance tire.

 

Remember to get a.drive R1. The a.drive is a much lower standard tire.

 

[Weichien]

Get the hankook v12 should be about 170

Saw the KU 31 going for $120 per piece at tyrepac. It's MIK

 

the MIC is $114

is maxxis the tawian brand?

 

 

[Unfair]

I go NSHW in heavy rain @ 120km when other cars all went slower.

 

Hankook V12Evo is good in dry/wet.

 

Not sure if can fit in your budget though.

Fren, why not you raise the budget to $200 which you are able to find many good quality tyres with Low noise good performance

if one lock it at lower budget with lower qualities whcik may have to throw away the less the half worn tyre (cost you more money right?)

you initially can tolerate some road noise but after some time you will find it very irritating especially when your families or friends commentted becuase the noise is no longer from tyre is actually from passengers

always remember , tyres is the only 4 contacts , and we want our journey to be a wonderful enjoyable and most importantly the Safer one

I dont' mind upping the budget a little more. But $200/piece is quite far off for me.

 

Think somewhat said the Hankook V12evo is about $170.

 

I dont mind stretching my budget for that.

 

Guess i get what i pay for
