As Silverstone Synergy M5 user, I would strongly suggest to avoid it. Been using it and should have paid extra rm20 each tyre for Bridgestone/Goodyear.

Im getting good fuel consumption, average 16km/l on Honda City idsi, but the wet performance is really bad. Feels kinda slippery during rainy day, constant hydroplaning, and had wheelspin a few times especially after stopping at hill during rainy day/wet road.

Should had done research before getting it, as many user on the internet complaining about the same bad wet performance.

Works fine on dry road, but seriously bad on wet road.

that's quite a good FC. but i think the iDSI is one of the most fuel efficient car right?

these few weeks lots da rain. can wet test my EP150. So far feel the wet grip is quite good, can go through water pots at 80-90kmh with confident.

Yeah it is, and I'm seeing improvement from 13-14km/l to around 15-16km/l after using synergy M5, not an accurate measurement, but thats what the car km/l trip meter is showing.

But for the fuel saving vs wet performance, I really dont think its worth it. Blasting through LDP/NKVE around 90-110kmh on dry, and had to slow down to 50-60kmh when its raining since the car felt slippery.

what was your previous tyre that did 13-14 km/l?

It was Goodyear Eagle, not sure the specific model as before I had the car, my dad did all the servicing.

Interested in Bridgestone Ecopia.. Where to look for tyre sizes available for this? Cant get it from Bridgestone web... My tyre is 175/65R15..

bridgestone malaysia web is kinda useless when looking for their size. they're not listing all the sizes they're selling here in malaysia.

for example the EP150 that i'm currently using, size 165/65R14. not listed on the web. however i stumble upon it when tyre hunting. so i email to bridgestone malaysia and ask is the size officially available in malaysia. they replied yes its available, ask me to look in any of their bridgestone dealer shops.

maybe you can email them directly also.

you must consider these factors when one says 'fuel efficient'.

Tire drag accounts for only ~16% in the overall car's drag. This varies on the car too. If you have a powerful engine, tire drag is negligible.

Tires also last very long. I have been using GD F1 for ~60k km already. No difference in fc compared to NCT5 or PS3. So, buy a tire that you will enjoy for the next >50k km...

hope you guys understand and be an informed consumer. Those sales/marketing out there only says half the story.

i echo on this

I got mine 195/65/R15 for RM210 in Pandan Indah.

Good price.

I am also using AE01. 215/60/16 on a cefiro.
Overall very good, but I feel a little bit noise compare my previous Michelin MXV8.

Serena s-hybrid is using bridgestone ecopia 195 60 r16

thanks for the info! i presume is Ecopia EP200 sice EP150 supposely got no R16 size

I am planning to change my stock GT3 (Jazz Hybrid) to Ecopia.

1) What size should I go into? Stock is 175/65/R15. Thinking of going wider, maybe 185 or 195?
2) What's the difference with EP150 and EP200?
3) What is the price range I'm supposed to look at? Don't want to get "cut" by the shop
4) Lastly, any recommendation of shop around Shah Alam/Klang?

1. better stick to original size, as your car is Hybrid and FC is important.
2. EP 200 is overall better than EP150, in terms of specs (FC, NVH, grip) on paper la. Also EP200 usually cater for bigger size tyre. But both are marketted as LRR tyre.
3. ermmm... no idea
4. no idea

Honda still giving Goodyear GT3 as the stock tyre to their Jazz Hybrid?? GT3 is listed as the most entry level tyre in goodyear website. can't they offer something better? lol. At least la assurance fuelmax

1) original size got very limited tire choice
suggest the nearest 185/60/15

u can get ECO tire like Yokohama Bluearth AE01 , Michelin XM2
not sure bridgestone available ornot

GT3 not recommended at all

BS would be their ecopia ep150/ep200 series

What is your mileage now? Would like to know GT3 can last until what mileage.. So far ok?

Yup, still GT3 on jazz hybrid... Even the new 2014 honda city is still using GT3 as the stock tyre..

Why GT3 not recommended? Bad FC?

After few weeks driving it, I decided to keep it till it's dead. Hahaha, but I plan to change on to my avanza, EP200. Got quite a good bargain in Kapar, around RM160/piece for 195/55/15.

Anyway, just FYI, GT3 is used for the new Honda City as well~

Im using EP200 now.previous tyre Synergy M5.195/55/15.so far,braking improved lil bit compared to M5.
