lols i would've torn between this 2 too if i were to shop for LRR now.

Ecopia EP500 starts at 19" ~~ but you need a super non-standard rim cause the tyre size is 175/60R19.

Any tires that can save on fuel consumption for Honda City? Current stock ones are Continental 185/55R16. Kindly include the price as well. Thanks

Suggest you to take Bridgestone EP200, the rolling resistance is low, means good even with just 2 tyres, i can feel the different.

suggest you to provide something more constructive as BOTH are also LRR tires.
if both are supposedly good by your logic, the question has not been answered at all.

I'm settling to Hankook Kinergy Ex. So far so good.

anyone knows if the Yokohama BlueEarth AE50 is available locally now?

oh is this a newly launched tyre from yoko? never heard of it yet. Is it a succeed-er to AE-01?? newer than EP200 and NE3??

saw that one yoko global site
supposed to be a higher end AE-01 BlueEarth

http://yokohamatire.jp/yrc/japan/tire/bran...bluearth_a.html
not high end, mid range (while ae01 is lowest end)

this, is highend:
http://yokohamatire.jp/yrc/japan/tire/bran...arth1_ef20.html
but only 1 size: 195/65R15

this is in view of strictly LRR only.
viewing from another perspective, then yes you're correct - AE50 is indeed highend as it offers more performance, and definitely more sizes.

nestum YHI got news on AE50?

did ask b4 recently but supplier say no intention to bring in this model to msia

pricing problem , ppl will prefer M brand etc

Itu brand also only got xm2

then 1 less choice for me when the time comes to change tyre

yokohama range got

bluearth ae01
C.drive2
S.drive
Advan DB
Advan Neova AD08r

i think too many pattern themselves also confuse

pls name a tire brand who have so many tire pattern in 1 size

adding this to my first post.

List of known AA rated EU tyre label, meaning tyre scored both A in Rolling Resistance & Wet Grip:
1. Bridgestone Ecopia EP001S
2. Michelin E-V
3. Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue
4. Nokian eLine

My stock tyres are 215/45/17.

I am more inclined to 205/50/17.

Can also accept 215/50/17 or 225/45/17, although these are less preferred size.

Are there any eco tyres offerings for these sizes?

According to malaysian's website, Toyo NE3 has your stock size and also your preferred 205/50R17. or if other brands, the closest one seems to be 215/55R17 (GY Assurance FuelMax, BS EP200)

Thanks! I'll remember you as eco tyre man.

215/55/17 will rub against the fender. Looks like Toyo is the only way to go if I want eco tyres.

But none of these are available here.
Actually thr Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance has a good rolling resistance and grip combination too but the nearest place to get it is Singapore
