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.
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.

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.
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?
