Changed my Gen2 CPS all 4 tyres 195/55/R15 from Dunlop D05 to EP300 last month (last gst holiday lol), changed at weng heng for rm128/piece.
Still yet to do 1,000km, but so far i notice it's easier to move from standstill, i guess this is what it means to have lower rolling resistance.
But it also makes me feel a bit more nervous when cornering, it just doesn't make me feel as confident, scared lose grip and terbabas kinda feel. I dunno if it's because it's still new yet to break in properly or memang liddis, i hope it's the former.
Probably won't get another EP300 next time, not for mildly fun car like Gen2 at least.
I guess it's due to softer sidewall that gives you the nervous feel? I'm driving gen2 also, last time when changing from stock Sime Tyre to Falken Ziex 912, immediately I feel nervous when going to small roundabout near my office, the car feel "buang" when I do cornering, even the inferior Sime Tyre feels more stable. So I read online it's due to soft sidewall, so I increased the pressure to 34psi when cold, got little improvement but still not the feeling I like. Gen2 seems very sensitive on tyre sidewall as other cars I drive don't have such huge feeling difference...Still yet to do 1,000km, but so far i notice it's easier to move from standstill, i guess this is what it means to have lower rolling resistance.
