Toyo Proxes CF1 or Yokohama DNA dB ES501 ?

[Vinceng]

Both are comfort based tyres & made-in-Japan.

 

Hard decision to make.

 

Which would you choose in terms of overall comfort and good grip in the wet and dry for normal driving in a 1600cc saloon?

none of the above... i dunno much abt dna db but aspec db is notorious for being slippery.

 

toyo other than t1r i think the rest is hardly ever heard of.

 

want comfort and safe i think xm1 is a safe bet.

 

u can try hankook also. soo far feedback has been good. dun mind spending more go continental

[Tzarh1974]

i vote for hankook

[Starcombat]

Same as others. None of the above.

 

XM1 would be my choice for this category.

Michelin XM1 is the bottom of the range tyre in Michellin's stable and is manufactured in Thailand where labour cost is low, yet carries a 20% premium over the mid range made-in-Japan Toyo and Yokohama.

and it outperforms them by more than 50%

Can try Bridgestone AR-10 a try too. It's in the same category with DNA dB and XM1.
