I used the Bridgestone Turanza QuietTrack, the tyres are very quiet. Great!

Thanks. Where do you get the QuietTracks from? I haven't seen them in Singapore, or maybe I'm just sua koo. Haha...

Means you are turning too fast.

Slow down a bit and there will be less noise.

Need some advices here regarding loud squeaking sound in carpark, especially making a turn over painted markings.

Have a 2008 Camry running the BS T001 and Energy XM2 tyres in each axle.   Profile 215/60/16.

Both tyres screamed loudly, when rotated to the front axle, and there is some slipping too when the carpark surface is wet.

Is this normal for these comfort based tyres with this high profile.

Any recommendation for a more composed set, since the tyres are all around 20k+ mileage.

Thanks !

if they are old (in terms of YoM) tyres, maybe its time for a change?

If there was Dunop Veuro VE304, I would have gone for it ,since the VE303 is comfy, quiet and economical

I went for Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance 2, and its sportier feel, not as quiet (though quiet enough) and low rolling resistance.

Yes, the tyres are coming to 3 yrs now (YoM mid 2019).   I have good experiences with F1A5, but no 16"sizes, the EfficientGrip range may be one to go for.

Changed out my Bridgestone GR100 to Michelin P4. This is my first set of Michelin after 4 sets of Bridgestone Turanza GR80/GR80/GR90/GR100...

At first the car feels like floating and very slippery, dare not do usual cornering speed. Air pumped too much (240kpa) by the tire seller. Reduced to 210kpa which is my normal tire pressure. feels better but still feel slippery, don't know for real or psychological.

Head North to Ipoh to burn-in some rubber..... feels a little noisier on those concrete tarmac compare to the old bridgestone. Softness also loose out to Bridgestone.

The softness can be easily tested out on the roads in ipoh with lots of potholes and uneven surfaces.

Generally, this P4 is still a good alternative to Bridgestone GR since the latter one already obsolete.

For T005a, DB552 and Primacy4, which one made in where, does it really matters? One tire shop told me this this made in Thailand, with the same price why not get this one direct import from Japan? (i forget which one from Thailand and which one from Japan) but both also imported right? lol ... got tire made in SG meh ? lol

My first set of Michelin Primacy came with the car and the tyres are from Europe. It only lasted about 30,000km before I had to change. My next set was also Michelin Primacy 4, which lasted 50,000km, made in Thailand. I am on my third set of Primacy, tyres are definitely quieter than PS3 or PS4. I used to love the UHP tyres, but if you read Primacy's review against the Michelin UHP performance, the difference is not easily felt. 

So far I have tried Yokohama Advan DB, Hankook V12 Evo, Michelin PS3, PS4 and Primacy. I would give Hankook and Michelin tyres performance a tie, but Primacy is definitely on the quieter side.

That’s very Low le

Primacy 4 or XM2+ is better overall?

Currently using V552, silent but not as grippy after 20k++. Thread wear only 280.

Goodyear efficient grip2 is a better bang for buck vs primacy4.

Yeah. Am running GY EG P2. Very happy with them at only 130 plus per tyre. My friend bought even cheaper.

Depend on tyre profile

 

thinner tyre profile need more air

Not necessary.

As car tyre is load bearing, it is dependant on load index and total weight

I remember lower profile standard requires higher tyre pressure

 

maybe i remember wrongly haha
