Best tyres for Toyota grande facelift?

[arcane3888936656]

AssalamuAlaikum dudes.
Need change of tyres in grande FL 205/55/16 .
Need ur kindful suggestions
My drive(4k KM per month about) is 50 percent on motorway 150km/hr average , 20 percent highway,15 percent village ,10 percent on toti foti potholes roads n 5 percent on snow in northern areas on winter , mountains in summer.
Preferences .
Comfort,soft but not as prone to puncture, very less noise, durability/age about 50 k km, no upsize n downsize,
At least v rating speed. And lesser weight tyre abt 7/8/9 kg.
Rejections.
215/55 as tire section width increase so fuel milage will decrease,pick decrease,suspension wear off soon, handle is more hard, grip already gud so nothing need further grip as braking distance will increase due to same brake disk size/force for bigger tyre ,looks not good as previous Corolla upsizing .
205/60 as cars aerodynamics changes so car will be uplifterd n will vibrate on 130 km/hr n upward speed which can be felt even in handles, big difference in speedo meter error n less grip on road on cornering as section width of tyre will be decreased n car will be sinking in high speeds as previous versions of Corolla.
Need only non smuggled tyres in size 205/55 r 16.OEM

Yokohama Advan DB 552 initially not available in this size but also very speedy wearable n last hardly 25 k km on Pakistani roads. Bajri wali.

I have used Advan dB 551, CC6 both on City 2015 and now on Primacy 4 in Grande (215/55). Can say a few things about the above brands extra, other stuff you have said is mostly correct based on what I’ve read here on the forums.
CC6, not as noisy as you’d think so think again. In my experience, slightly noisier than advan dB 551. Good durability too, very few punctures and quite even treadwear for me at the moment, it’s still on after 30+K km. Size availability may be an issue. If you want to try continentals, try UC6 or MC5/6. I think they are better performing.
Advan dB 551, quiet, comfy and grip ok, but short life and prone to damage. You will certainly see around 20-25k km with your driving conditions.
Primacy 4 is quite new for me <100 km so can’t say, except it is quite grippy and quiet too. I bought it after a bit of research and Q&A here. Heard good things about it and also read good reviews. It topped many reviews I read but mostly from Europe/ UK. Maybe local conditions will have different outcomes.
215 section width shouldn’t be a big problem, you will have more options in this size. But yes, stick to 55 profile, not 60. That will spoil your ride quality.
Recommendations:
Primacy 4 if you can find in good price.
Conti UC6 or MC5, they are available in good price (15-17k) and recent production dates.
Dunlop Veuro 303, good reviews from people here and also good price, within 17k.

According to the best of my knowledge, there is nothing wrong in upsizing Grande FL Tyres size from 205/55 R16 to 215/55 R16 because according to this tire size comparison chart,

there is just a "6.8%" increase in the sidewall and just a "1.6%" increase in overall circumference which will affect fuel mileage and pick in the least, or you can say that the difference is negligible, rather road grip will increase with the increased circumference. Still, sticking to the OEM size is always good.

About Tire brand, I have done significant research on this forum as well as some international forums and based on the road conditions of Pakistan, I have shortlisted two choices, that is, Continental UC6 and Yokohoma Advan dB v552, although Yokohama is very immune to get damage quickly, still if your commute is on smooth roads, then it is safe and extremely good to use Yokohama, for mix road conditions, Continental will serve you good without a doubt.
Michelin is without a doubt really good tires but with my experience, I can confidently say that with the current temperature conditions in Pakistan, in the hot summer season, they will start producing screeching sound with the braking and also become noisy with usage. at least that what happens with me when I used Michelin Primacy 4 on my Honda Vezel.
Hope it helps and also share your experience with us that which tires you have chosen and the size and how's that treating you with time.

Thanks for sharing your precious knowledge. Ur choice primacy 4 was excellent on good roads. It claims the best braking distance even with worn 50percent tyre than any new premium tyre. However I think it's treadwear is abt 300 which is not a good tread for high speed 150km/hr on constant drive for three/four hours in Pakistan in scorching heat 47 c on motorway as it may wear soon I think. But it s very light weight and good temperature A tyre.
Previous Corolla was excellent for tyre upsizing. But with 16 inches as 205 is already the peak size for Corolla which is provided by the company so with 215 the section width becomes wider about .6 inches and tragectory of road friction with the tyre changes. N tyre touches more .6 inch rubber with road. I v used all sizes in both FL n pre FL grandees with different alloy sizes. Due to 215 size handle becomes hard, pick is effected, n braking big tyres with same disk pads also takes distance.
Anyhow iv Yokohama Advan A 460 22k driven n they r making noise as a generator upward 100 km/hr. So want to change but after thorough advice n search.
Plz share detail of treadwear n European level of uc 6 as I couldn't find. Conti has almost 71 DB noise in all tyres which is more.
Yoko 552 for 25k milage with punctures is very expensive.
In my other grande 2015 I m using federal formoza fd2 and very satisfied . It's more than worth than any premium tyre in 15 inches

But with 16 inches as 205 is already the peak size

I highly doubt that. Anyways, once you made your decision for that matter, do share your experience with us, so that we can also get benefit from it.
Best of luck in your research
