i just changing my front preve tires to ecopia ep200
205/55/16

Im cant compare with neuton since never use it.but if comparing to previous standard preve tire which is gt radial champiro bax2 and falken ziex ze 912 195/55/15 that i use for my last gen2.handling feel lighter and noise level can feel reduce a lot.wet driving condition better than those too.but cornerning i feel this ep200 less grip than those 2 tire.

For cornerning my exp ziex ze 912 > champiro bax2 > ecopia ep200

Comfort wise ecopia ep200 > champiro bax2 > ziex ze 912.

Currently monitoring fuel consumption rate as i bought it mainly because of it.
Bought this ecopia ep200 205/55/16 for the price rm324/piece including alignment and balancing. Manufactured 1514 mean around april 2014 tire.the cheapest and the best tire shop so far i found in my life.

How come you rate ziex 912 cornering at the top? i feel my gen2 with 912, cornering is very terrible as the sidewall is too soft. I can take corner faster on the original sime tyre come with the car...

Initially i want to replace it with bridgestone ep200, but after seeing you rate ep200 cornering losing to 912, made me to think twice now

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.
