20k is so low mileage do the tyres even need to be replaced? 

tyres should be replaced due to mileage clocked or aging.  For me, it's usually the latter. 

tyres harden due to aging and will affect braking distance too.  Especially if it's the first set of tyres that came with a new car.  we don't know how long these have been sitting before they were put on the new cars.

Once I nearly got into an accident because of harden tyres from the factory.

hahaha. Can use one lah. But drive cautiously with such tyres. 70-90 km/h still will have grip one.

Last time I have one colleague of mine who ask me for lobang for new tyres, then I go to my regular tyre shop to ask for budget tyre.

Boss: Wei, just nice, I have a new shipment of tyre came in this week. Ask your friend come down and fit.

Me: woah. okok! what brand issit ah? trustworthy anot.

Boss: China's no. 1 tyre manufacturer ah. Don't play play.

Me: woah. okok. I get my friend come down.

After fixing, my friend have no complaint with the tyre, and even drive up to thailand once with the tyre.

And out of my curiosity, I went to google the tyre.

They are indeed China's no 1 tyre manufacturer. But he never tell me for which application. I google then I realised is for bicycle.

hahahahaha. But the tyre on my friend car, he have no complaint lah. Is an useable tyre.

And just so happen that, currently my bicycle, I am also using chaoyang. hahahahahahahahaha 🤣

For my Forester, I am using 235/50/18 on F1A5. Factory size is 225/55/18.

Factory rim still can fit.

I am thinking if that Michelin tyre costs 1/3 higher than market average but if it can last 50% longer in mileage or in age then maybe it is worthwhile.

must see your mileage also.

lasting tyres suit high mileage driver.

if u are a low mileage driver. before u even wear off 50% of the thread. your tyres already 3 -4 years on the road. no point right? and certain michelin model that last long, after  a few year when the tyres harden , it become very loud, and it begin to peel off like small plastic pcs.

Agree, on how the tires are used. It's not just the mileage, but also the duration of usage. I have personally experienced this - on my previous ride, the tires were relatively new but seldom used because I was away on several months of overseas work commitment. I had to change the tires though they were barely 2 years old and despite low-medium mileage. Main reason was because I parked my car for long hours and under the weather, hence the tires 'hardened' faster and they became very noisy.

Thanks for everyone's feedback/comment.

Back to the original question -  Yokohama RV02 and Bridgestone Alenza? 

My criteria (in order of priority):
1. Quietness
2. Comfort
3. I don't need super grippy tyres but standard decent grip is fine.
