Me too just bought 2 pieces of toyo neo, using it since 1 week ago. Quiet and soft. Handling slight improvement. Haven't test it on wet roads yet. On highway max speed 160kmh, i don't go speeds above that.

So I've changed all four to Bridgestone Ecopia EP200 for my Exora 1st Gen (195/65r15 on stock rims).

The original Goodyear Assurance
a) gave me 8.7 to 11.1km/l (11.5 to 9 liters per 100km).
b) was relatively quiet
c) was great at managing roadbumps

(car was not used for awhile)

These new EP200
a) is quieter
b) not as good as the stock at managing roadbumps

Will see what kind of fuel consumption after a few thousand kms.

25K mileage already and how is the tire treadwear? I'm looking at this tire as well for my gf viva but just wanted to know how far this tire can last. Currently using CC5 and can last >60K

my cc5 28k km all worn until like semi slicks. one particular tire even worn until the internal steel belting come out

personally if you're expecting good treadwear on eco tires, you'd be sorely disappointed.
and if it does last very long, i'd be worried on it's performance/comfort and nvh. *coughxm2cough*

That's very bad.

I have another question on Viva tyre, if Viva tyre size is 165/55R14, can it change to 175/65R14?

Here is my short review. I have settled with Yokohama BluEarth AE-01 and those are awesome tyres if you're looking for excellent Eco LRR tyres.

PROS:
-Quite (really!)
-Soaks up bumps very well
-No need for tires to "break-in", drove off the shop can achieve optimum performance
-Handles my favorite 80km/h slalom highway exit corner rather well (wasn't expecting this good for a LRR tires)
-No bumpy rides even though pumping 220kpa front and back
-Easily available nationwide, not like you have to hunt  once in a blue moon

CONS
-Soft tires generally don't last long. But since this is Eco LRR tires, maybe it's a different case. We'll see.

Overall, really satisfied with these tires. I have another car with Hankook Kinergy Ex fitted, that one also decent though it has slower speed rating.

Same feel as the first time I drove off from the shops 9 months ago. laugh.gif Seriously, money well spent. General/everyday use, these tyres are comfortable and quiet. Recommended.

RM290 a piece with B+V+A before GST. Size 205/55 R16.
Same price for Good Year Assurance VG2 (same bunga like TripleMax).

Which one to get? I'm biased for Good Year.
