So you don't want Hankook anymore? Got the V12 Evo2 which is higher than the S1 Noble2.
How about Goodyear F1D5? This one is a well balanced tire for dry & wet, and very close in performance to the PS3 and surely way2 much better than the MC5, CC6, and EP200. Better than RE003 also in the wet and in terms of durability (coz RE003 will wear off much faster).
This is already my second set of Hankooks. Before S1 Noble 2, I was using V12 and managed only < 40K KMs. I was thinking of giving other brands a chance (if budget allowed). I was told Si Noble 2 replaced by Ventus V2 Concept 2 (H457). Reviews on it looks promising. Any opinions ?
I've not checked price for GY F1D5 but I'm quite sure it's on the high side. Anyone purchased GY F1D5 recently ?
I agree, I've read comments on RE003, most pointed on tire wear.
After some surveys (JB) plus input from forum members, it looks like Hankook still the most affordable. Let's see how much Yoko V701 will cost here in the south then it'll be an easy decision.
