Just changed for my BMW 225/45/R18 P7 RFT to S1 Noble2...
 Was considering PS4, Fleva, V12 Evo2... But wanna try something more quiet & comfortable...I suppose most non-RFT will fit the bill...and PS4 the better performance match... For now meets my expectations...will see how it goes after running in  Why is this Noble2 isn't discussed more I wonder? It must be moving OK since mine's dated 0317...350/pc incl gst, alignment, camber. This post has been edited by dwRK: May 3 2017, 11:52 PM |

After 1k km running in my 18" Noble2...so far very satisfied...no issue with spirited town driving
It may be a comfort tyre, but for 18" it's handling is still quite sharp...overall a very composed drive |

QUOTE(pciericagp @ Jun 2 2017, 11:43 AM) Don't use Hankook Kinergy EX, you will regret. I just replaced all with Bridgestone Ecopia EP150, my problem resolved. It was a very bad tires, failed to disperse water on wet road even new. The pattern already screams "slippery when wet" ... lol...It's not very bad per se...just not designed to disperse water... But yes I agree don't buy this... QUOTE(dinox @ Jun 2 2017, 11:52 AM) I tried to call up to check s1 evo2 tire for size 235/55/18......(which I believe is the size for tiguan).....most hankook shops doesn't even know about this tire. Hankook Malaysia says no such size...only 235/55/R19...too bad......I would not havemind trying out the tire This post has been edited by dwRK: Jun 2 2017, 05:02 PM |

just changed to kinergy 185/60/15 after my 5yr old toyo nanoenergy blowout
 1st impressions compared to old toyo... very noisy... much harder sidewalls... stiffer steering... much hotter running Will run it in, trash it about and reported back... expecting worse mileage due to higher roling resistance was gonna get back toyo but no stock |

QUOTE(conman124 @ Sep 8 2020, 09:29 AM) I have used both the Kinergy Ex and now the new Kinergy Eco2. drive sensibly and no skid ah... if kinergy so bad, lots of cars will end in the ditch already when raining since its factory fitted in lots of cars...My car is quite light at the back so I often have skids on the rear tires on the Kinergy Ex but now with the Eco2 much better handling both wet and dry and rarely have skids. |

QUOTE(conman124 @ Sep 8 2020, 10:44 AM) Like i mention, my car tail very light, drive sensibly in a corner with slow speed also will skid a bit. Mind you the tyres were new. I'm not saying the tyres are all round bad but just during wet conditions need be more careful with them. Since now KinergyEx discontinued and replaced with Eco2, they have improved alot. I think i may have over exaggerated the skid but it is more like i will lose grip a few seconds then the cars tsc will kick in then okay adi. sorry bro...don't mean to imply your driving is not sensible.. my badyeah different car/suspensions/loading, different tyre size/pressure, etc...will contribute to skidding/drifting... the eco2 does look better than the ex, and thanks for your confirmation conman124 liked this post

I now prefer this eco2 to the ne03... as new, there's nothing remarkable but also nothing seriously bad... my new favorite cheap tyre... no idea about mileage yet, not my priority |

QUOTE(speedy3210 @ Sep 12 2020, 04:57 PM) Exacrly same as my experience...... Basically thrashed NE03 on every aspect except noise and rolling-resistance. thanks...my ne03 I pump to 250kpa Having done 20k km on these Eco2, my own observation is they prefer slightly higher air pressure than NE03.... I found 250kPa to be the best balance between comfort and handlind/grip, whereas NE03 will be rock hard at 250kPa and I used to pump it to 230-240kPa. My tyre size is 185/65R14.  ...but eco2 will have to test it outdifferent car/weight/tyre size/age...driving style/etc influence pressure to use...for 14/15” rims 250kpa is a good starting point to fine tune |
