New Tyre and Brake Pad

I bought a pair of new tyre to replace of my RAV4 worn tyres. I still using the original tyre for RAV4 which is bridgestone dueler 215/70/16. This two tyres cost me about RM 630 which is RM 315 per tyre. This is the chepest price I have found. This tyre made in Japan. The dealer proposed to me to use the 235/60/16 which more wider than 215/70/16 bridgestone Turanza. At the website the Turanza tyre are claimed as silence and smooth tyre. I may think to change the tyres to Brigestone Turanza next time.The Turanza will cost me RM 430 per tyre. My existing Dueler still look ok and can be used up to another 40,000 km.
