Currently using Yokohama AE01, 175/70r13 for my Iswara. First of all is handling in wet and dry condition is good, water cutting very good i can say compare to last tyre i used -> falken sn828 and gy duraplus. I feel less resistance when going through wet and "watery" road. Second about the FC, I didnt feel much different compare to last tyre i used. Got a bit difference, but not so huge la. Driving in highway, I think will give more mileage, but according to the website stated, urban driving give more mileage compare to highway driving. A bit confusing here. haha. BUT ONE THING IS YOKOHAMA BLU-EARTH IS MUCH MORE QUIETER than last tyre brand i used. Conclusion is :

Handling [both wet and dry] : 8.5/10
Quietness : 7/10 (u know right? iswara mah.. xD)
FC : 6/10. Can't feel the difference(maybe my car using carb, will consume a lil bit more fuel)

after some calculation, my car can go up to 14km/litre average. 1.3 engine.

woah nice fc figures there and thanks for the bluearth feedback! (i think you're among the first i've read biggrin.gif )

very doable with manual.

for 3 speeder auto, if you can deal with <40km/h, then yea probably doable too.

quite difficult to recommend to you cause really not so much feedback/review on eco tyres. Best if you can pick one from the list, test it, and review it here rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

New Eco tyre launched!! Goodyear Assurance TrippleMax http://paultan.org/2013/10/03/goodyear-ass...lemax-malaysia/

Actually it seems GY didn't advertise it as a FC tyre. GY stress on its safety and wet braking distance if according to the article. but since it is replacing the Goodyear Assurance FuelMax, so i think its fuel saving properties are not bad either.

then again, only R15 and above unsure.gif small car no chance to use

GY Efficient Grip i think its more towards silent feature. aka akin to Mic Primacy ST or Yoko Advan dB series. It may gives good FC to but i'm not sure about that. And again GY didn't offer size below R15 ..

Its manual. Depends on the style how you drive. Normally I wont suddenly press hard on the pedal lo, I will like press a lil bit until the engine got the power pick up, then i will maintain it. Although it will slow pick up, but who cares? All I want is comfort and quietness. Haha.. recently I calculate again my FC, this time is 90% highway and 10% urban driving, it gives me 16km/litre... Believe or not, ITS TRUE. If got time, I will try to attach some pictures or videos in here smile.gif
