just bought advan fleva 195/50r15 last week and it is 1 week old now.
RM200 per tyre without gst charge at weng heng.

i can feel it is much quieter than my previous kumbo solus hs51 tyre.
more smooth and comfortable at rough tarmac roads too.
looking forward on fuel economy as it is rated as silent economy tyre with performance of sport tyre by yokohama especially in wet braking.

Either of them should be pretty good, just try the one you can get cheaper.

Sure...thinking to get ps3 but scared about the chipping issue because my current xm2 having same issue maybe my area road condition not good... travelling highway more so maybe will get advan fleva or hankook...very hard to find yokohama here will try hankook

Just bought advan fleva 195/55r15 yesterday RM210 per tyre without gst at tee 3 with new 15inch 6.5jj rim...

I will compare this tyre to my previous Michelin xm2 caused this is my first uhp tyre..i will just compare the noise level..noise level compare to xm2 its equal...yesterday I test the tyre on north south highway while back home from kl to perak...advan fleva is more quiet on rough simen road near Tapah if compare to xm2 and my xm2 still have 50% thread left before I trade in.my speed lvl is 150 on highway...for city road advan fleva abit noisier if compare to xm2 and definitely we can use this tyre without on the radio πŸ˜‹..the sidewall is semi soft.....braking is definitely improved alot...just 600km done so far not yet test on heavy rain... πŸ˜‰

anyone here have tried both fleva and v12evo2?

cant find comparison review between those 2.

Before this was interested in v12evo2,
but when looking at this review:
http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Article/2015-...e-Tyre-Test.htm

seems the rolling resistance for v12 is worse then max performance tyre like CSC5.

So i was hoping this fleva can be the answer, haha.

I'm in same situation when choosing tyre for my car last week at last I choose fleva

Depend on the manufacturer, mostly is 5 years.

Michelin is 6 years, not sure about Yokohama though

What it covers?

I didn't ask very detail about it...tee 3 said it covers chipping cracks like that...but I don't trust this warranty although it have 6 years warranty they won't replace the defect tyre easily

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.

Yup agree with you bro let see fleva performance after the thread fell below 50%

Not sure if Nkve has any potholes?

Maybe I hit the pothole much earlier and it let go today.. But I can guarantee you there was no bulge in sight

Anyway what done is done.. Hope no one has same issues like me

Maybe because of something like iron wire on road...im using the same fleva too it looks fine for me...last week I hit pothole nothing happen...let see if any other fleva owner having same issue...so sorry for u bro
