I'm looking for most important first wet handling, quiet than dry road, certainly do not need to last >20K.
Thank in advance
Hi there, I'm using the Pirelli Dragon 205/55/R16 and driving about 3000km already. The tyres have a good feel and response well on wet and dry braking conditions. It shows alot of confidence on the corners. Comfortable ride and quieter than my previous Continental Premium Contact.
Both the Preceda and Dragon tyres are made in Thailand. It doesn't means that it is not good but it lies in manufacturing of the material use and how the properties are mixed to cater for Asian market due to our climate change.
If you're referring tyres that are made from Europe, don't be surprise you may see that it will not survive in our harsh weather. The sidewall of at tyre will peel off and so on.
Anyway, I'm monitoring the tyres mileage to see how long it last.
