Summer Tires, recommendation?

ACC-HE

If I wanna upgrade my OEM tires, what should I upgrade to?

requirement:

• 17"
  
• quiet
• good dry/wet traction
• good durability
• good price

That's 215/50/17, right?

Super affordable:
Falken ZE-912 (3 season tire) -- $120-ish

Affordable:
General Exclaim UHP (UHP all season) -- $165-ish
Kumho Ecsta ASX (UHP all season) -- $170-ish
Kumho Ecsta SPT (UHP summer) -- $170-ish

912 held their on own on the white stuff too.

You are asking too much for a single tire, good grip is inversely proportional to durability.
Its like Time/Cost/Quailty pick 2 out of the 3.

912 gets my vote.

我對912o既感覺麻麻地
all season 入面可能算咬law

Kumho SPT 抵玩D

再唔係可以試下Yokohama S.drive

UHP 有人話係all season , 有人話係summer
  唔清楚佢係咩

Actually, the all seasons should all be changed to just 3-seasons.

hee... really have not heard of any of them.  So those big brand (michelin / good year / bridgestone) ones le? no good?

Major brand means you pay a lot more for their advertising budget, not the tire itself. They have good tires, to be sure. But you'll be paying top dollars for them.

Advan AD08, Bridgestone RE01-R

Michelin Pilot Exalto PE2 is the most quiet:
