Recommended Tyres for MPV

[Typhoonz]

I'm currently on Hankook V12 Evo (205/55/16) on my Mazda 5 since last Apr and it has done about 40k KM. The noise is getting quite jialat especially over the rough surfaces. Thinking of switching to either GR90 or PS3. Budget no more than $180 per tyre.

 

Which of the above is the better choice? I would like to try out the PS3 as the average price is about $165 - $168. Been reading through the many threads about PS3 and find it's a balance of low noise and good wet / dry grip.

 

Comments and recommendations please...

GR90 quieter. very good grip in the wet too. :)

Goodyear efficient grip 2 or Excellence.

If you like more control and stability , go for Goodyear directional 5

Will look at the Excellence and the Efficient Grip 2... The thread for Directional 5 looks to be noisy like my current ones...

Thanks camrytron for the feedback! I read in this forum as well that FALKEN is noisy and some members also did the same thing after a few thousand km.

Strike out FALKEN on my list then. Will check out Toyo and GY as well

They are having promotion now, hence a lot cheaper!

So, I guess is best stick with mainstream tyres then. BS, MIC or GY...

What about kumho, see a lot of taxis using them....
