I didn't ask very detail about it...tee 3 said it covers chipping cracks like that...but I don't trust this warranty although it have 6 years warranty they won't replace the defect tyre easily

Even if they do, it will takes forever. I heard from the shop i bought from. he said need around 6 months. I'm not sure about other shops la. rclxub.gif

Guess its ok.

I got mine 215/45/17 for RM310.00 plus GST (steel valve + Alignment + Balancing (which I think should be mandatory since each tyre has different weight spot) included.

Where did you find this size?

Just changed 4 pcs... RM360 without gst in Rawang. Balancing alignment included.

Actually I asked Weng Heng Kota Kemuning RM345 without gst but lazy to go so far. Today went to Rawang to collect cheque.

Initial impression is quite good. Stiffer wall than PS3. I dont think I will ever go back to Michelin given how bad the peel off I got from my set. Definitely worthy to try V701 given the price is really much cheaper.

So far I driven about 1k so can't really put a accurate review. It's stiffer than the ps3 which I used previously. The tracking seems a bit loose, hence I would say the dry grip is not as good as ps3. But wet grip is very good.. No hint of veering when going through puddles at high speed.

In terms of noise..its new so it's pretty quiet compared with my old ps3 which was rumbling loudly at 80kpn.

Overall I would say it's a good tyre based on the budget.

I think I had different feeling about Fleva. At first, I was pretty happy with the PS3 until I bought a car for my wife. It came with CSC5 and straightaway I noticed that PS3 might not be the performance tires it claimed to be. Yes, the grip is not bad but I feel the tires are lazy. Cornering for example tend to understeer probably due to the lousy sidewall.

Fleva feeling is straightaway an improvement. It feel responsive, especially when turning. It was like immediate. It was fun to drive compare to PS3. I think the tires stiffness is so good that you feel more of the car body roll instead of it understeering for more comfort like what the PS3 did.

PS3 is well known for its aquaplaning resistance which is going thru puddles. Don't mistaken that for wet grip though, coz they're slightly different qualities even though related. Wet grip is more like grip on wet surface but not having puddles. So PS3 is often the best at aquaplaning resistance but not necessarily have the best wet grip, there are other tires that can have better wet grip but yet cannot have as good aquaplaning resistance as PS3.

CSC5 is indeed better in most aspects than PS3, it's a damn excellent tire! I'm using it now and I think it's the best tire I've used so far. PS3 I think is a good all rounder tryuing to offer balacne between comfort and performance but not the ultimate best at most aspects except maybe aquaplaning resistance.
So the Fleva feels more sporty is it? How is it compared to CSC5?

Hard to compare since it's on different car and different profile too. If I had to choose blindly, CSC5. Never feel so fun whack corner. No funny feeling. However when going over bad roads, really have to slow down. I would say Fleva still a bit more comfortable than CSC5.

Yeah the CSC5 indeed inspires confidence. To me it's also still pretty comfortable but my sidewall is still around 11cm thick. Anyway my next tire change I want to try different ones, maybe the Fleva or V12E2, or PS4 if I got the budget, but that will still be another 1-2 yrs from now. So in the mean time should have more and more reviews on these tires, maybe will come upgraded versions again too.
