Better get PS3 coz the difference in price is not so much, yet PS3 is very much proven as a very good all rounder tire already, especially excellent in aquaplaning resistance while this Fleva has so many mixed reviews, mostly not so positive/doubtful actually.

This comparison review by Autobild unfortunately doesn't look good on the Fleva and the aquaplaning resistance was especially highlighted as very poor while the overall wet & dry grip also low. It came out only 19th out of 20 tires tested!    It only won on being the most comfortable which is quite an irony given that this was meant to be a UHP tire.

Autobild should have some credibility in their reviews, at least better than nothing at all and just our non professional gut/butt feel. I think the best tire reviews so far is by Autoexpress UK which also still comes from Europe. The only issue maybe is that their test environment (climate and asphalt) is different than here in SEA but since there's not much other more credible reviews then still better to just read those European reviews. Unfortunately yes, most of the time Yokohama models do not come out as good as expected in any of those reviews, except the AD08R.

For smaller 15' sizes, I would probably recommend as below in ranking order:
PS3
F1D5
RE003 or V12E2 (this one I'm not entirely sure which one better yet. I suspect the RE003 would be better in the dry while V12E2 slightly better in the wet but having said that, based on some reviews the V12E2 can be a bit tricky too in the wet. I'm considering to try these 2 along with S1 Evo 2 and of course PS4 in the future for replacement of my CSC5).

If 16' then similar to the above with the addition of PS4 at the top, maybe also CPC6 in the mix later.

AD08R is extreme category and sidewall stiff coz got steel inserts there, dry grip is surely excellent but wet especially on heavy rain should slow down coz not much water channels. It also will finish very fast, even faster than RE003 I think. Definitely not suitable for comfort. 

Finally can update on this thread since my tires are almost up for a change. Overall, I'm quite happy with the tires for the price I paid and its performance. The noise level is still surprisingly good even when worn out, outperformed even my previous set of PS3. One of the tires (front right) has some tearing on the outer thread. Im pretty sure I have never driven fast on stones, otherwise all four tires will have the same cuts. Other than that, I really have zero complaint about them.

My cousin who had the same tires (after I recommended them) didnt fare as well as mine did. Im not sure whether its his driving style, allignment/toe problem, but both his front tires are bolded on the outer thread. Im pretty used to soft tires wearing out its outer thread faster but not this serious.

Im kinda inclined to try another set after the good experience but I will survey the market to see if there are any better deals. Saw Toyo TR1 and to be honest, the design simply scream "I'll be loud".

Not complaining la.. just curious on the road conditions will really effect the tyre noise.
