ZE912...not a cheap tyre. I read it's quite good, but a bit noisy. I just changed to ST115 not too long ago

LOL! Michelin? Which one? Pilot Preceda?

Continental 17" for RM400 is cheap!

I asked for a French made Continental Premium Contact 2, RM330 for 15"!

Okay... let's start a tyre thread..

Now, which tyre should I get for my Hyundai Sonata? It's almost time to change all four...

I guess you want something comfortable. Bridgestone Turanza GR80. Or if you are like my father, he loves his Yokohama ES501, but not very good in the wets. You can also consider the Michelin MXV8, but I think it's not that cheap, and made in ASEAN countries (Thailand I think), most tyres are these days, except the Yokohama. These tyres are quiet and comfy tyres.

It's so difficult to find ST115 now. They are not bringing in 16" and below. It's a fantastic tyre. Silent, very grippy, doesn't aquaplane much. And it's made in Japan. I think I bought the last few sets of 195/60/15 in Malaysia...

ST115 has softer compound comparatively to other similiar tyres

I've used Bridgestones previously on 2 cars and found them to be noisy after awhile

Dunlop LM702's are not bad too.. which still comes from Japan.
