Seems like all the bad aspects of ep200 has been attended to .
which was lousy wear rating where it wore so fast, clocked less than 30k km with full rotations
And better wet grip as well which from the last one was somewhat lacking.

EP200 when new very quiet. After 10000-12000 km, very noisy.

What size is your tyre? If you're looking for comfort and quietness I recommend cc6 very low noise but very soft as well.. my car low and now on cc6 I'm hitting bumps that I never used to hit on the ep200

This size ep300 and cc6 not available for you..
If quiet you're looking for can try turanza gr100 or uc6 continental and primacy 3st which to me is the best. I used gr100 marginally better but pimracy 3st is next level wink.gif

Noisy, No grip, , not comfortable at all with cut cost tyre materials, Not last longer but cheap.

Agreed, you should go for primacy 3st in that case.. once you use this I believe you will not change again ahahha
But abit pricey and if you take corners very fast finish these tires.

Was using EP200 until changed to Hankook Kinergy EX H308 due to balding and deep pothole inflicted sidewall bulge. Used for 40+k km. Preffered EP200 over CC5 wrt fuel economy and also the Hankook Kinergy EX H308 which regrettably was not as grippy in the wet and less than acceptable on dry. Had it not been for the bulge, would have used it until 50+k km. Too bad I changed to the Hankook else would have gone for this. The EP200 holds great in negotiating curvy uphill incline exit from Seramban highway on to Besraya at no more than 70-75km/h even in the wet. Don't even dare go above 60km/h on the same with the Hankook even when dry.

For me the ep200 provided more grip than I expected from an eco tyre in the dry. And in the wet as well it performed excellent, again for its price range. But when the tires wore off and thread got low which happens sooner than you would expect. The wet grip becomes terrible and skids all about very dangerous.. hopefully this ep300 no longer has his issue as it's design seems to hold the thread pattern longer hence increasing longevity .
