Depends on where you go. I got my 215/45/R17 yesterday at ED Tayar in Shah Alam. I know some other shops which stocks them too. It's true that the plant in The Philippines caught fire but that was in May and from what I read it resumed partial operations within a week.

I found out about ED Tayar on Mudah actually. I was interested in the Achilles ATR because it was cheaper but the guy said some driver said it was noisy. The wife prefer the new set to be quieter. Her car and she's paying for it so we went with Fleva.

If you look at Mudah there's a shop in Setapak that has 205/50/16 for RM310 but last month's ad so not sure if still in stock.

Yeah I already noticed also this ED tayar shop, advertising very competitive pricing. I'm also looking for tires for the wife so considering to check out this place too.

Early review for the Fleva in 215/45/R17 on the wife’s Mazda 3. (200km+).

Previously we’ve used the Continental, Bridgestone and more recently Silverdolf on the Mazda. The Silverdolf was because the shop that the missus went to before recommended it to her and she decided to buy it. I was unhappy at first because I never heard of the brand - apparently it was under Silverstone/Toyo. However I was pleasantly surprised with it. The grip dry and wet was good, no aquaplanning but my wife said it was loud. Because of the way we both drive we needed something with good grips in both wet and dry conditions and her requirement now is a quieter ride. The Silverdolf lasted about one and a half years and it was time to change all the tires.

We went to ED Tayar in Shah Alam after looking through Mudah for the tires that we were interested in. We narrowed it to the Achilles ATR Sport, Goodyear Excellence, Yokohama Fleva and we were also considering the Michelin PS4. While we are there, the Continental MC6 was also thrown in the mix.

We both knew the Michelins were very good but were unsure to spend that much (RM1,600 for the whole set - still cheaper than other places though). I really liked the Indonesian made ATR because I think it was very good value (RM800) but according to the guy, some drivers said it was noisy. So that turned the wife off. Both the ATR and Fleva had the same dry traction rating of AA but the Fleva had better threadwear if I’m not mistaken. So it was down to either Continental MC6 and the Yokohama Fleva. My experience with Advan tires was that their wet grip are not too good. But we decided to try it anyway. While neither of us are racers, we are not Sunday drivers. As the Mazda is a great car that likes to be pushed to it’s limit we feel it does need a decent set of rubbers to go with it.

So the last few days we have been driving throughout mostly in dry conditions and a few damp conditions. The first thing we noticed is that the ride is much more quieter - I used to listen to the music in the car at 8/9 volume but now we can keep it at 5/6. The ride feels more comfortable and less harsh. But this could be maybe because the tires are new. We are very happy with the grip. I haven’t feel the car giving away. I’m sort of looking forward to driving in heavy rain and see how the tires will handle.

All in all initial observations are good and we are happy with the purchase but these are early days.

The traction rating is actually for wet, not dry.

can you please share your experience of this tyre vs previous  goodyear excellence in terms of

1) Grip  level for both dry  and wet
2) aquaplanning resistant ?
3) fuel consumption
4) since tyre is slightly bigger, do you feel the car have huge or little lagging of power after the tyre change ?
5) highway speed stability improve ?
6) since it is slightly bigger, will it hit the wheel arches ?

want to know about this too...

any feedback??

seem that this V701 is really a good tyre, too bad, i can't find any shop selling this in johor.

I'm looking at 225/45/17 or 225/50/17

was quoted toyo NE03 around RM340 + GST, but read the review, NE03 seems to be more suitable for smaller car.

Atr 2 is not noisy at all! The tyre shop fellow was trying to sell you a higher price tyre so that he can make more! It's perfectly ok for a low profile tyre! I can tell you that it didn't lose out much compared to high end tyre like the conti csc5! 170 km/h and it sticks to the road like glue! laugh.gif

Hmm I tested the V12 Evo2 just now in heavy rain with lots of big puddles and the aquaplaning resistance was very good leh and my steering was damn steady. Surprised that you said otherwise.

Varies from around 70-100+ a bit, haven't got a chance to test more though coz I just got them for my wife's car. Initial impression seems decent. Btw it's size 225/45/17, what's yours?

For my ride, below 60 is decent.
If hit deep water level above 80-90 i can feel it my steering drag one side.
Even worst if i drive at 120-130.Have to hold my steering TIGHT.
The feeling just like the speed of evacuation of water not fast enough.
I could't find this issue on my previous continental premium contact 2.

Hmm strange coz my steering just now was pretty steady but yeah I haven't tested above 120kph I suppose. However my tires are much wider than yours so usually should experience worse aquaplaning but yet it was steady. Note that I hit the puddles square on ya, not with just 1 side coz of course if you hit just 1 side, it will always pull to one side no matter what tires you use.

I agree though that CPC2 should have better aquaplaning resistance coz it has a lot more cuts to channel water out but at the expense of dry grip coz CPC2 is a mid-range comfort tire similar to Michelin Primacy while this V12 Evo2 is UHP similar to PS3 category.
