how is the FC? feel any improvement so far?? What was your previous tyre?

oh manual. still very impressive being a carb engine??

last time i did 1 trip 95% highway, i very patient drive at 90-100kmh only, can get 16-17 km/l. but mine is cvvt already.. but really very hard to achieve, driving slow on highway is killing me..

FC hard to judge as my previous tyre size is 215/45/17

pirelli p7 is on 215/50/17 - of course change to a higher profile will give u extra mileage i reckon.

ENERGY™ EFFICIENT:
Up to 20% less rolling resistance as a result of the improved tread compound, sidewall geometry and internal tire structure.
Result: Reduction of almost 4% in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

CLEAN AIR:
In addition to decreased fuel consumption and reduced emissions, the Cinturato Family is also completely free of highly aromatic oils. Changes in production and the introduction of specially developed polymers have also significantly minimized overall environmental impact.

LOW NOISE
NOISE REDUCTION:
A reduction in noise is achieved by a specialized tread pattern, construction design and compound selection. The result is a 30% decrease in subjectively perceived tire noise.

HIGH MILEAGE
INCREASED MILEAGE:
Performance is not sacrificed in favor of durability with the CINTURATO™ P7™. Optimized tread contact area, compound and profile design increase performance and maintain safety, all while extending average tire life.

can use to 50k-70k mileage.. great value in long term.

Using XM2 for 1.5years, 20,000km on it. My priority was Wet grip > Silent > Eco

1st impression, it's dead quiet... for the first 10,000km. After that mileage, the noise levels increase slightly.

Wet performance, it's darn good. I can maintain same speed during cornering without slipping. Beware though, deep water puddle has slightly pull feedback, but no hydroplaning below 60km/h.

Lastly, rolling resistance. First 5000km, the tire has ridiculously low rolling resistance. Purposely drove to 60km/h, release pedal, free the gear, and be amazed by the distance it can go. Making use of this, you'll need to release much earlier before stopping to feel the fuel saving effect. Got out easily 40km extra out of each tank with this method.

Hard acceleration and braking will not get you any FC savings with this tire.

thanks for the review do you mind sharing what was your previous tyre?? know roughly what tyre you coming from gives us a better view/insight~!

Comparing against Conti CC1

I agree with you on the Quiet-ness, when compare to GY Ducaro GA.
Btw, thanks for your new method! I'm going to try it!

current A.drive user and the tyre almost time up, thanks to this thread, guess i will go next with bluearth to test it out

remember to give your review back here later!

got it changed from Klang at rm165/pc for 165/55/14.

Not able to check on the fc yet but it do ok on dry/wet road for now, it was raining when i drive my way home from shop and it is reasonably good on wet road condition, hope it do better after run in~

what i feel immediate after the change is the Quietness compare my 3 yrs old Adrive. now the road noise is gone...wat i get is only my old engine noise.

Agree with you
I coming from falken ziex 912
although only change 2 tyre at the back
Can feel much comfortable noise also very good

hehehe, i asked the tyre shop guy, he said BluEarth compound is softer compare A.drive, made for better fc, not sure how true, gonna pump a full tank and see if there is any improvement for fc

forget to add up my 2 new tyre are from xm2

Lol..icic..too bad xm2 dun hv for my size of 165/55/14..only pp2 but damm expensive..above 200/pc..

Due to budget n brand liking..i go back to yoko

Xm2 is great i heard but some ppl said da performance drop dramatically after 50% usage...not sure how true it is tho...

let me see how is it go with it
i tried to search for yoko cd2 but no where to be found at northern region had to switch to xm2 for a try

Anyone using Bridgestone Ecopia EP200? How is the performance on wet road? Thinking of changing to this soon from my current C drive 2.

i used it for 2 week already.. wet road performance is good since i never speeding and make emergency brakes frequently..

make use of its low rolling resistance, it will serve the purpose to get more milage.. totally not a tyre for those who are like to speeding and whack corner..

bro mind sharing with me the tyre shop location? thanks!

I am also searching and surveying for a new tyre.

There is one shop at kajang sells Yokohama blueearth AE01 at RM 270.00 for 205/55/R16... is it cheap since the salesman said that they are on a promotion now. And i notice that the tyre is made from philippines.
