Hi guys,

Read reviews about this summer tyre and the reviews are good esp from TyreReviews UK. UHP tyre right below PS4 or CSC5/6 and cheaper than PS4 or CSC5/6
Any idea when this tyre will be launched here in Malaysia?

Hankook Malaysia said will be towards end of the year when I asked about the availability 2 weeks back..

That in the bold is not correct. Watch the video again and it said it's a mid range/touring tire category below the CPC5, not in UHP category (the UHP tire right below PS4S & CSC6 in that video was the Falken FK510). But yes the K125 is the best value for money in the touring tire category, so for those looking for tire in this category then it is worth to try.

Falken FK510 will be launched in Malaysia on Aug 8, 2018. Local media reviews of the tyre will be coming out within this month. So watch out for them.

Does anyone know how is this tyre compared to V12 Evo2? Are they in the same category?

No they're not, V12E2 is higher class at UHP category, better performance level.

So what are the advantages of touring tires over UHP? Better sound, comfort and longevity?
Are they both also in different price brackets?

what is touring tyre actually?

Touring tires are mid range category for comfort in long distance journey (touring). Typical of this class is Michelin Primacy, BS Turanza, GY Assurance, Pirelli Cinturato, Hankook Prime, Yokohama Advan dB, Conti CPC series (except the latest CPC6 which steps up to UHP). So yeah, it should be more comfortable, more silent, last longer. However nowadays due to the technology advancement, modern UHP tires actually are also almost or even equally comfortable and silent with almost similar longevity, so IMHO UHP is the better choice.

Any feedback on Ventus V2 concept 2?
V12 evo 2 doesn’t come in my size for my City hybrid.

They called it UHP tyres...

they can call it whatever category they want but the fact is that this ventus prime 3 is touring tyre

A year after I installed Primacy 4 finally it's being launched in Malaysia.

Anyone knows the sizes available?

Already in Malaysia? Looking forward ro replace my current Hankook Ventus Prime 2 which is factory fitted to my SUV...As i am so far very satisfied with Prime 2 therefore Prime 3 should be better....

Also wearing ventus prime 2. Look forwarding for prime 3, but prime 3 focus mainly on dry and wet grip, noise level may be on the high side compare to v2. Anyone can confirm this?
