just my humble review for ep200 after almost 1 month of usage and clocked about 1000km++ on it

1. noise is quite a surprise for me, nearly no tyre noise at all during <80km/h, but abit of tyre noise can be hear when going >80km/h on rough tar surface
2. comfort level wise, my car with full passenger (3 xxxl sized adult LOL) going from KL to Melaka and tried 140km/h cruise comfortably with no complaint from all my passenger
3. dry grip and wet grip is so-so but still ok for me
4. FC still under monitoring

Overall, a very good tyre but it's meant for aggressive driving...  laugh.gif

Replaced these tires early part of 2015 ran them about 25000km and two of them are almost bald while the other two are still acceptaBle .
These tires do help save fuel by having low rolling resistance but my god do they wear quick .
But their performance is very good especially few months back during a downpour on the motorway . I emergency braked and these tires stopped in a dime. Like the moment I floored the brakes I was almost stopped immediately from 80+ km/h bear in mind this was wet weather smile.gif quite amazed by this so wanted to share. During this maneuver the thread was about 50% worn evenly
Now though with the rear at 20% it's aquaplaning when hitting slight puddles at 80.
But the dry grip is still great. Went up and down venting fully confident .

For so many Kms, never do tyre rotation???!!

i rotate every 10k km or every service if you would. i think due to the fact that i installed anti roll bar on the front suspension mounts this reduces the car flexing and therefore preserved the front tires very well i must say. the way i drive the tires still seem healthy with deep threads whereas the rear i did not install and therefore it wore very drastically. previous tires before these i did not install anti roll bar they wore evenly. i asked my mechanic if there was problem with my rear camber or suspension he said no. so yeah.. i would recommend installing anti roll bar.
