For me, The idea of a car tyre is to give grip, better control and provide responsive feedback in in every emergency situation to the driver.

Avoiding the car from skidding, loss contro, aqua planning and involve in accident.

eco tires???
did this tyre offer the grip need by a car???
never tried before..
anyone tried? Proven in giving good fc???
any feedback???

In my humble opinion, the bestest tires to choose is from ultra/max performance category tyre like GYF1A2, PS3, RE003

How about you??

silverstone m3/m5 ftw! lel

not everyone drives like an F1 driver on the road...

grooves very big, noisy. i dont drive like f1, primacy 3st for me.

I think because modern cars are now comes with better safety features explains y tyre are promoting eco than grips to follow those green & fuel efficiency trend

Traction is bad if gone above speed limit. In the wet is worst. Shittiest tires was nct5 but those buggers do last long.

Before this was using pp2, changing tires was a yearly affair. Probably the best all rounder ever made, ps3 last longer but isn't that good around the bends.

True. If you tried performance tyres, you won't go into eco tyres. Anytime.


Why you need low rolling resistance and that decrease fc. But decrease road grip also.

Most important is the tire you are using should be very new and just manufactured.
2 years old grippy tires also lose grip liao la, meanwhile now im using stock tires that comes with the car, rated traction at B also gives good braking and cornering because manufactured in june 2016. Wet performance lagi awesome.

Says you.
I came from lots of performance tyre.

Grew up and out of it.
Noisy like hell. Sidewall hard like brick. Eco tyre for me anyday. No more uhp. Not even ps3 kaka

low rolling resistance, good for normal city driving (below 100)

i've used 1 that came with the car
grip definitely cannot beat higher end tyres of course
but FC, yes it will give u VERY good FC
because after i changed my tyre to CC5..i can never get back the figure i have before...not even close

lel eco tyres have crappy grip

inb4 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 > all

I always use back stock rim stock tyre
Lazy to think
But then eco tyre really doesnt make sense
Work so hard to pay for the car but cannot get the full use of that car have to fit eco this eco that
Macam kecian je

u need to see the selling point of the car lah
if u drive a GTR, thn of course no point putting eco tyres in
but if u drive an axia, u put a high end tyre in for what?
so u can corner at 80KM/H...thn turtle 360 degree?

i like eco tyres because of less rolling resistance, you get the wafting effect like it's a rollah , since it rolls smoother and further

On my HRV - only ECO tires
On my 308T - Ultra High performance sometimes Max and Extreme (But using extreme tires FC go down the drain cos car stick to the road like glue)
On my Vios - Ultra High performance sometimes Max and Extreme cos Cheap

Cos on HRV i no need to drive so hard because it was designed to be driven that way.
my Vios mod the suspension a bit so that can wack corners kaw kaw. But the limitations of this car is the engine belts and drive shaft when doing extreme cornerings.
308T like best wack corners

Then those axia originally also came with eco tyre adi ma correct
I see prius original tyre already very slim and small
So best still stick with ori model hahaha

yes..comes with eco tyres but their FC still nowhere near the "said" FC
BTW, eco tyres has 2 big disadvantage
1. they're not cheap
2. they're not easy to find
so if it comes with eco tyres, u won't be using the same tyre back if u wanna change it
you'll prolly just go for a cheap normal tyre like cc5

Primacy or re003

If you have skills which tyre also good.

Do not use Hankook Kinetic EX. Noisy and poor traction.
Just my personal opinion.

50% of car sold in this country is a Toyota or pseudo Toyota. why one need performance tyre on a mundane sampan no VSC sometime no ABS Toyota?

falken ziex good or not

Actually does so called eco and fuel saving tyres really help in fuel efficiency?

Given my driving style just biasa biasa in city not kind of cucuk pipu on the road like vxxxxxxx..

short answer : yes it does

am using CC5 also..so far i liked it..kinda quite compared to my old cheap barum tire lol.

Getting Eco tyres but expect superb grip is like buying semi-slick tyres but expect it to work well on wet surface. Eco tyres are good for normal driving, save fuel and might last longer.

its even more quiet on newly paved road

I tried taking a hairpin turn while full throttle and full steering turn, both RE003 and Goodyear Asymm2 pon screech like crazy and ESC had to kick in

What do you think about ecopia ep200? For me, i like it more than cc5. Tried cc5, ep150 and ep200. ep200 last longer for me. And it is quiet too. At least for me haha

eco tyres are meant to last long so you'll feel it last long
i only used EP150 that came with the car
never use EP200
its expensive AF these tyres and only available at bridgestone store only
