Corolla tires

[pwuser170576195070]

Want to replace the tires on my 2015 Corolla Grande. The tire size is 205/65/15.
I usually drive at speeds of up to 150 km/h.
Would General tires be a good option to install, or should I go for Yokohama Advan DB? The Advan DB costs 130k for 4 tires.

Anyone use Nexen nefera su4 Chinese?
Experts, please guide me

Anyone use Nexen nefera su4 Chinese?

Using nefera su4 from 20k kms now. Outclass tyres for my taste. Mine is 2016 1.8 cvti.
They're on the sporty side, not too noisy but very grippy on dry/wet. They can take rough roads pretty well. If you want a bit softer and less noisy then choose nblue hd plus. Order from daraz or their official facebook page only. I got them from daraz, find my review under nfera su4 review section.
It's one of the best option available in cheap price. Even after 20k kms all 4 wheels have 15g weight after balancing. Also, they have red mark on them, align it with tyre nozzle when fitting and you will get perfect balancing.

Don't go for general, they're the crappiest tyres you can get, I had bg thundermax 195/65 R15 before these, and they got so bad after 10k kms that they were not getting properly balanced at all. Car was vibrating like nothing at 100km/h, I threw them away after driving 15000kms.

I agree with @haseeb.basharat, I bought them last month and have only driven them 2000KM, but initial impressions are pretty good. Tires are grippy and not too noisy. I was using GoodYear EfficientGrip but changed to Nexen as GoodYear are too expensive now. I can say that Nexen are comparable to any good brand. The only thing I miss is that my GoodYears had rim protectors on them which are missing on Nexen. All in all great value to money.

I ordered online from daraz on sale and got a pretty good deal.

Haseeb bhai what size are you using? I called Nexen office today and they said that 205/65/15 does not come in Nefera SU4 but available in Nprize

Advan Db v553 will be a very comfortable tire and low noise too. Good one.

Nexen is ok if on a budget. They themselves don’t claim it to be high end or premium tires. Just look at the EU labeling of their tires like n blue HD plus, n fera SU4 .

On their own website they rate these tires poorly for things like noise, comfort, and dry performance (n FERA su4):
https://www.nexentire.com/au/product/passenger/nfera-su4.php … it doesn’t score 4 in anything except wet performance and fuel. It is meant to be noisy as it’s “sports”.

Then, look at N Blue HD plus EU labeling for your desired tire size: https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/tyres/456980?navigatingFrom=qr

Wet grip is class B, fuel efficiency class C, noise is class A (quiet).

On their own website they claim 4 rating for dry, wet, fuel. Low 3.5 for noise. Seems to be overall better than su4. And decent if getting at low price.

They will be better than General/GTR though by a lot.

Here is the EU labeling for advan db v552 :

https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/tyres/631916

It is expensive for a reason.. scores A in both noise and wet grip. C for fuel efficiency but almost all tires have to compromise a bit on fuel if they prioritize comfort and low noise. Now v553 is here which might be even better.

Michelin primacy 4 is also top notch, same rating A for noise for and wet, C for fuel:
https://eprel.ec.europa.eu/screen/product/tyres/409644

If you want comfort and low noise there is nothing better than. Advan db v553. @krafiq

Or Michelin primacy 4 if you can find a legal import. But yokos are easily available from J Rashid official import. Or ZAMS.

Like the others said, Advan DBs are literally among the best tyres. The only downside of them would be the fact that their soft nature makes them more prone to punctures (usually not an issue, unless you mainly drive on uncarpeted roads). General tyres have one advantage and that is their durability/ruggedness but you will literally have no comfort. Grip is also not really anything to write home about.

If Yokohamas are too expensive for you there are a plethora of Chinese options available. I put on some Roadmarch Ecopro 99 that have done me quite well. Very quiet, soft and decently durable. Been driving them 40k km and they are starting to show their age now. Grip is good enough for day to day use, rolling resistance is middle of the pack, but they get the job done.

I'm using 195/65 R15.
I would urge that you use the same.
205/65 R15 becomes even bigger then a stock tyre of grande facelift. If you want high end brand then go for continental ultracontact 6.. it will be available in this size and you will love every moment with it.
Used that tyre for good 50k kms.

Npriz gx is their new tyre and I can't find it's reviews online. If they say it's better then go for it, but you will get optimal fuel economy and good suspension response on a stock tyre only.

I got them in 2023 September 15200/tyre
I will change them with nblue hd plus in future. Have to try that as well.
