Hey, question about ecopia ep200. Anybody used it? The thread seems to be one sided so if it's on left and right both sides won't be pointing the same direction right ?

I'm changing my tyres 195/50/R16 CPC2..

went to a nearby shop and he offered me hankook H308 for rm240 a piece. Anyone used this tyres before? is it better than the CPC2?

Hi, any feedback for Hankook Ventus S1 Noble 2? After some google, found this tires are more on comfort and low noise, this is suit for my often long distance drive, plan to change my 4 years old Michelin PS3 215/45R17 to 225/45R17 soon.

Can i please ask if the nexen n8000 good? Seems cheap...

225 45 r17..

Hi, want ask sifu here between yokohama c drive 2 & yokohama bluearth ae50 which one better? one more how about kumho ps31?

using this at 205/55 R16 size, bought it cos it was cheaper than other tyres in the same category. emphasizes on comfort and low noise, although it really depends on your car insulation and road surface as well. It is slightly quieter than my previous UHP tyre. It has a soft sidewall, so I have to increase the tyre pressure compensate. This makes it more comfortable over bumps, stripes or rough patches, but not by alot. Threadwear is normal, after going for about 38,000 km so far, with all kinds of aggressive driving styles. Grip is actually not bad considering it's a comfort-biased tyre. However, considering my driving style, my next tyre would be UHP again, maybe PS3 or RE003, or maybe try Advan DB for it's stiffer sidewall.

AE50 newer/better > c drive 2

advan db is soft/premium comfort tire bro, not exactly performance oriented.

PS3/RE003 would be more suitable if you're leaning to more performance

i have new challenger for RE003 now, Hankook Ventus V2 Concept

500 threadwear rating, more than half than RE003. Traction AA = same as RE003
uni-directional thread. Soft on bumps and roads like RE003.
great grip on dry and wet, your steering response is great. confident to tackle corner.
a bit more on the quiet side than RE003

price is cheaper than RE003

the tyre age is almost 5 years. shouldn't the user be changing it for safety?

You already changed to that Ventus V2? RE003 traction rating is only A. Ventus V2 Concept is actually just mid range performance tire so lower class than RE003. The ones on par with RE003 are actually the V12 Evo 2 and S1 Evo 2.

Well it depends on the condition, that's why need to monitor if already got excessive cracks especially on the sidewall.

no.. i put Ventus V2 in my other car. My RE003 on Preve still going strong. Are you sure RE003 traction is only A? That's not UHP category now, is it?

RE003 ratings are 220 tread wear, A traction, A temp. These ratings actually also not really representative of mid or UHP or max performance. The traction rating is actually more for wet traction. Most Bridgestone tires are only A traction also, even the expensive high performance ones.

sifus...
i need some suggestion for replacement current GT Radial 205/55/R16
what is the best tyre for noise reduction, superior grip, a bit of performance, comfort?

i've make a list so far

yokohama c.drive2
Michelin PS3
continental MC5 & CC5
Hankook Ventus V12 evo

may i know some feedback and recommendation...
not much knowledge on tyres. 😅😅😅
for budget, roughly below RM2k

I suggest to go for Hankook V12 evo2 (not evo), but heard market shortage now.

looks eerily similar to Ventus V2 Concept 2 that I used right now:

if u got the budget go for ps3.it is up to the performance in my opinion.

What about comfort?

Personally I've tried ps3, I still think it's an overhype tyre.
It's good when new, like shit after 50% wear off (noisy and wear unevenly), worse is the surface tend to chip off. The chip off issue also happen to my bro in law car with different size ps3. So I think its this tyre behaviours.
Anyway, it's just my personal opinion on it.
