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

Agreed. Been using EP200 for 30k. Ride was better during earlier 10k - 15k compared with previous stock tyre, Bridgestone Turanza ER370.

During 2nd period tyre became noiser & noiser. Dry grip remain but wet grip decreasing especially during corner.

Notice crack on outer thread on all 4 tyres. Sigh.

Fuel efficiency top notch all the way especially for long distance.

Changed to Turanza ER300 after 3 years. Not plan to replace with EP200 but the shop said no more EP200 stock because EP300 will be out soon (last 2 months talk).

Turanza ER300 Ecopia quieter & more comfort than EP200. Hope it'll remain after 10k ride. Cross finger. biggrin.gif

Anyone try this ep300? How it fares against Yokohama Bluearth ES32? I think these 2 are similar range right?

I have bought 4 donut at rm 150 each and using it on my saga flx for a week now. Quite cheap for new tyre. Drove like 3 times now back and forth from genting and batang kali road that usually used to test new car.
My verdict as amature driver saying that this tyre not suitable for high speed cornering like genting road. Felt like flying abit. FC is quite ok. Wet grip and water planning is ok i think since i drove slowly on genting road when raining. When i drove on dry and new tarmac road, quite low noise. Haven't test it on highway but i think that it will be good enough. For rm 150 bucks, i can say this tyre is good for low usage and city cars. Will give better review after a month after i "cook" this tyre a bit.

Sorry bro for late reply. I have tried to test my tyre for wet road but unable to..no raining action at all during my travel for 1 week offday that i have taken..really hot!!
It's V rating but i have tried to run at 150 kmph on dry highway and i really felt like im flying. Seriously not fun at all..i felt like i have no control on my car but at 120+ still good and got control.
I drove solo with empty car when i tried it.
Other than that, tyre noise increase bit. Others part seem ok and good enough. Travel up and down from genting more than 20 times already.

generaly quiet and comfort tyre.low resistance hence slightly fuel saving.
i believe can get better deal because michelin are even cheaper than rm 250.

Exactly! I've been wondering too..but it seems that it is not mandatory for manufacturers to declare / run that test; thus probably they did not or that their numbers aren't very "nice" to show, hehehe

Hey there! I got mine of the same size at service centre for around 270/pcs - changed all 4 pcs 3 weeks ago. My ride is the 'king' of hybrid tongue.gif smile.gif

So far, as with all / any new tyres regardless of brand or type, very quiet and grippy.

I can't comment much about it, as it's new and plus I'm not any professional driver (nor are anyone here though they may speak as such) - so I can just share the price / layman opinion.

I've noticed that my "gliding" speed reduces faster compared when I had my Toyo rubbers, but again that could be due to the grippy new compounds rather than this new tyres have higher rolling resistance. Also, the roads on which I "noticed" that difference might be different, so again kind of subjective.

Regardless, I think it's a good choice simply because it is the only rubbers out there that is of the latest design.
E.g. XM2 is already 3 yrs old? CC6 is not as new; same with others.

So on that reason alone, I made my decision to go EP300. New thread design + new compound materials , etc . new
