after a long journey from jitra to selangor last week.
i would conclude the ecopia ep200 tyre indeed saving my fuel a little bit,
bridgestone claim it can save up to 8%, but what im monitor my fuel maybe around 4% save. maybe due to several factors like weather during the journey and my rear tyres still using champiro bax2.

but for handling in wet road. definitely not suitable for spirited driver. last time i only use it in wet road in slow speed. so i feel this ep200 better than champiro bax2. but when i truely feel in highway. champiro bax2 give better grip in wet road when travel in more than 80km/h in wet road. i can see sometimes my preve esp turn on because of the wet road and feel not very good so i immediately slow the car.

the noise level is acceptable since most of the time i hearing the preve CVT humming louder than the tires.

definitely not suitable for spirited driver. and i myself maybe will change to other type of tire for the next time.

wa, 1st time I hearing falken 912 sidewall hard...
there are complains on the soft sidewall on this model since launching, i think 5-7 years back? that time seeing autoworld forum many users purposely pump more pressure to compensate for this soft sidewall feel.

And yes, my gen2 was using original rim (non cps), the falken was new on the same year, and i was on 33-34psi cold pressure as well. Still, the feels when cornering wasn't good. I'm not talking abt extreme cornering speed, just those small circle roundabout cornering already feels my body threw aside. brows.gif

it's been 2.5 years and 40k km on these 912s, next i still looking for cheap cheap tyre, but harder sidewall. maybe will go for old bridgestone er30. seeing your latest review on ep200, i won't touch that tyre. thanks btw for the review.

Been using ecopia 200 (front) for my saga flx about 1.5k km.
Soft tire. Very quiet id say. Barely can hear tire noise at legal speed. Grip is decent on dry road. Wet road dare not speeding, no comment on it.

About to change out this set of tyres after 1.5 years!!! and 22k mileage. Using it on en Estima.

Highly NOT recommended.

My experience:
1. Quick tyre wear (might be due to weight of car)
2. Noise apparent after 5-6,000 km
3. Soft and bouncy feel
4. Reasonably good grip but not good

Yeah, I am using it on my car now also. Not recommended to try especially on heavy / big cars. Very bumpy and like to steer 1 side if pump too much air..., grip so so and Bunga very fast Botak. Regret to put on my car since day 1 even though its cheap......
