    Bridgestone or Yokohama.

    Michelins are okay but they tend to have too low a treadwear rating (most of their tires are rated 240-treadwear) for what are supposed to be economy-oriented tires. I was disappointed with my stock Michelin Vivacys.

    Goodyear Ducaro GA. Turanza GR80 is a bit more expensive. Michelin XM1 looks interesting also.

    Those used to be my tires on my old 1999 SX8 Honda City for five years. They're an old Bridgestone design by now, but if you can find freshly produced GR-80s, I'd still recommend them. Good grip and low harshness for a cruising tire, and they lasted me a long time - up to the time I sold the car.

    I`ve been using bridgestone turanza for like a couple of years so I can say it is durable and cheap ( well, for me haha )

    So my vote goes for : BRIDGESTONE..... :party:

    bro, the higher the treadwear the better?

    Higher treadwear ratings usually mean the tires last longer. A treadwear rating of at least 280 is pretty good for a daily driver.

    Most high-performance or extreme-performance tires sacrifice treadwear for grip...and vice-versa for economy-oriented or touring tires. As an example, Yokohama's S.drive does pretty well, being a relatively high-performance tire with a 300 treadwear rating. At the other extreme, Yokohama Advan Neova AD07s - arguably one of the stickiest street tires ever made - are rated just 180 for treadwear.

Which tire to choose?
