Swapped from Neova AD08R to Fleva, size 195/55/15 ... the sudden change in comfort is welcoming. But the handling, well, it's obvious when compared to the Neova considering I take most corners without braking. I have the AD08 on my STI for track, so the threshold grip I know it well.

Wet conditions under heavy rain, the Fleva performed remarkably great. Have not gone through deep puddles since I had it for the past week, so can't comment on hydroplaning. But it does give me great confidence when it rains heavily.

I've had 2 sets of S-Drive before, both times the sizes were 205/45/16 on my previous Jazz GE and the current Jazz GK, before I swapped to 15" Neova. Due to different profiles, I can't say whether S-Drive is more comfortable or not, but it does feel so.

I would say road noise is considerable lesser as compared to S-Drive, but the S-Drive had better grip that the Fleva at corners.

It's acceleration off the line is worse than the Neova, but that's to be expected. I find the tire flex a lot when corner, and I have to adjust my driving habit to suit.

Will feedback more after I run in more mileage on it.

Again, I stress that due to 205 vs 195 and 45 vs 55 profiles, it's an assessment that's not entirely accurate.

Having seen the video, I've cornered faster than that without my Fleva's screeching. Few factors will determine it.
1. Tire pressure (kept mine front at 33, rear at 31psi)
2. Tire size (mine is 195/55/15)
3. Vehicle (Vehicle dynamics) -Honda Jazz GK
4. Road surface

Coming from a Jazz GK vehicle, perhaps the dynamics of the suspension allows the Jazz to corner better without stretching the tire to its limit. Having owned (wife's car) Jazz GE, GD & GK since the year 2003 till now, the Jazz really is an exceptional handling car, having driven it up down Genting & Cameron on many occasions. Hence why I've supported my wife's decision to only go for Jazz (she loves it for the size and flexibility of it). All this while, only ever had Yokohama's on it (besides stock tires), ranging from 2 sets of C-Drive, 1 set of C-Drive II, 2 sets of S-Drives, a set Neova and current Fleva.

After many months, I've grown accustomed to it's character, having driven over 8,000 kms on it. The cornering confidence have increased since I first had it. Still awesome in rain and no surprise twitches when in need of sudden lane changes, at low or higher speed.

For it's price factor, I'd now say it's a great tire without sacrificing comfort.
