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 too agree with the wet performance by this fleva..when going through puddles its very steady...dry grip is good..the noise level is low too...for the price definitely a good buy

Wet performance should be really tested when tires thread fell below 50%. Most new tires handle water puddle really well since they still have deep groove to channel water out. Some really fell off the cliff as they worn out.

For example, I was using Good Year Eagle F1 GSD3, which is a really good tires when it comes to wet performance. However there was one where I drove through running water after passing through NSE, and there's plenty of wheel spin when I tried to accelerate past 80kmh. Well, to be fair, the thread depth only left 2mm. In comparison, PS3 fared slightly better before I changed mine last week.

From the feedback of some drivers in the Sepang 1000km last year, the performance of the Fleva seems to be quite consistent until it wears out. But no doubt, performance is good in the wet.

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.

Hmm still normal for d-segment sedan coz I'm using 17' only.
Front 225/50/17, so sidewall height is 22.5cm x 50% = 11.2cm (This is exactly the same size as the current Honda Accord std tire also).
Rear 245/45/17, so sidewall height is 24.5cm x 45% = 11cm

Can 225 width effects car performance?
