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

Bro, if my ori size is 205/55/R16, what is the best size for R17"?

personally went to test this tire on proper place , and it out perform their main rival (RE003) on the wet , and the difference is huge!
so im quite confident on the wet grip for fleva

Bro,
Since u have tested v701, and compare to V12Evo2, which is better for dry and wet conditions?

I am looking at size 225/45/R17. Thks.

Guys,

Currently, I'm using Hankook Ventus V2 Concept2 tire, size 215/45/R17. This tyre actually consider good for me in dry and wet. Thread already reached the indicator,but still can drive. Noise level acceptable even now reached the indicator.

What is the best change?

1). PS3 - not sure still have or not since PS4 launched.
2). Hankook V12 Evo2
3). GY F1D5
4). Yoko Fleva

If got budget then just go for PS4.
If want best value for money, get the V12 Evo2.

Thanks bro 6UE5T.

PS4 sure out of budget for this size, rm480 in Penang.
V12Evo2, I think around rm320 without GST6%.

Prices quoted few months ago.

Postage not an issue. Problem is which to find a tire shop willingly install them when arrived. I don't think any tire shops would like to help since I'm not buying anything from them.

They would but of course need to pay again!  laugh.gif

Yes, bro 6UE5T.
Furthermore, they might charge more for the installation labour cost(no market/std.cost) and end of the day, is almost equivalent to the price in Penang.
Lastly, your old tires no trade-in value since I'm not buying any tire from the shop. Not worth the troublesome.

Actually, I'm reluctant to use Hankook again as currently, still using the Hankook Ventus Concept2. Wanna try our other brands. But, it seems the V12Evo2 really value for money and most probably, I will choose the Hankook V12Evo2.

I'm also looking at GY F1D5, but price is much higher than V12Evo2.

Penang price for F1D5 seems more expensive than PS3.
I would choose PS3 anytime.
