Recently with heavy raining seasons,  I'm happy to report that my v12 evo2 performs very well.  Those tyre diverse water like knife and never let me down. Hope they can at least cover 40k or 2 years for me.

Personally I find most new tires disperse water well. It's only until 50% wear when you start to see if it really perform up to expectation.

I just changed to V12EVO2 from CPC2
- more silent
- good performance.
- low rolling resistance.

I am happy with it

195/50/15 - RM183 - Changed 4 donuts included alignment and balancing

Low rolling resistance? Usually this is not a feature for UHP tires. Lower rolling resistance effectively means lower grip with the ground. Usually associated with economy tires.

I asked in Rawang before. Was told RM320 for 215/55/17. I just don't remember for V1 or V2 only. It's either 320 for v1, 340 for v2 or 300 for v1, 320 for v2.

Test every pressure yourself  (first pump to 40 psi then test if too bumpy then release 1 or 2 psi and then test again), you'll know when you find out the best tyre pressure (for your car).
For the grip in theory is lower psi better, but more risk of blowing the tire if pressure too low....
Im not using v12 but I pump my front tire cold pressure to 38psi, mine tire size is 205/55/R15 thumbsup.gif
Wait a minute, after doing some internet browsing, I just realized that V12 evo2 don't has 215/55/R16 size.... I'm very sad now cry.gif

Questions below not important anymore, because I don't have other choice sad.gif

Hi all sifu2, today i went to a TOYO tyre shop looking for 215/55/R16 tyre, when I ask about Hankook V12 he told me this tyre very expensive so no one sell it... is it true?? Compare to Toyo T1R, CF2 and NE03.

Thank you

I went to a Hankook shop looking for V12 but looks like Hankook did not bring in 215/55/R17. Instead I walked away with a set of Primacy 3ST. Suprisingly Michelin is clearing a lot of 2019 manufactured Primacy 3ST until Hankook shop also start selling Michelin instead of Hankook.

I really wonder how you guys pump >35 psi and be fine with it. I mean even at 33PSI, I can feel its a bit too bumpy for my liking. I usually left mine at 32PSI (regardless of size, 195/55/15, 205/45/17, 215/55/17) and it feel just nice. I know many tyre shop will pump more hence thats why I will visit petrol station to find air pump after changing tyre. There was once the stupid technician at Honda who pumped my mom CRV with 40PSI. Fuck, it was literally like riding a horse when going over yellow lines.

Personally I would not be concerned. Sidewall most important is no penetration. The outer rubber just for cosmetic.

QUOTE(kurty @ Jun 24 2019, 11:47 AM)
how do we know the tyre is softer or harder sidewall?

will there be any indicator on the tyre?
*
I wonder.

Personally I take the figures on review site as an indicator. I feel that most tyre with really good braking/cornering performance will have slightly stiffer sidewall. I will also take a look for cars fitted with the tyre to see how much the sidewall rounded on full load.

Previously I also heard one fella (cant remember tyre shop worker or who liao) who told me if the tyre surface juncture with sidewall is very sharp L shaped, he said confirm stiff tyre. Personally I feel really hard to see especially when Im using 55 series which is usually a bit rounded.
