if you dont go off-roading... passenger tires are ok... look into the oem tires of the new CRV 4x4, they are BFG Traction T/A. it is classified as a passenger tire. i guess, a better guage when looking for tires, is to match or surpass the Load Index of your OEM tires. the GY Fortera 205/70/R15 is rated 96S. the BFG Traction T/A 215/65/R16 is rated 98H. just match it... another area you should look into is the number of plies. the Fortera i mentioned is i think 2ply sidewall + 6 ply thread. the Traction T/A is 2ply sidewall + 5 ply thread. there are tires like the dunlop lm702 215/60/R16 rated 95H but only got 1ply sidewall + 4 ply thread.

try falken. the new lineups are now quieter than ever. not probably the quietest but it is a good M+S and quiet tire for your budget. got mine last december at blumentrit for 3.5K each. and this is the ZE512 225/60/R16 rated 98W 2ply sidewall + 5 ply thread. the BFG Traction T/A goes around 5.5K if my memory serves me right.

OT, if after changing tires and you still find the road noise unbearable, try having your car sound proofed at Ziebart's.

If your priority is Ride Comfort and Low Noise, the best candidates are the following according to TireRack survey:

Goodyear Fortera SilentArmor
Michelin LTX M/S

para sa sizes ng 215/70/R16 and 235/60/R16 walang Dueler H/L dito sa Pinas. pero alam ko yung XUV ay naka Dueler H/L pero 15 inch lang siya.

yung Dueler H/T, hindi rin siya ganun katahimik (compared to the Fortera).

AFAIK, hindi Silent Armor yung Fortera na nandito. magkaiba ang groove patterns ng US-spec and ASEAN-spec Fortera kung mapansin mo. pero Fortera ang pinaka ok so far sa na research ko.

gusto mo research mo yung Dunlop SP9000. alam ko tahimik yan (kasi pang passenger car yun). plus, maganda ang wet and dry traction niyan. si baiskee nagbebenta ng Dunlop tires.
