But doesn't 3years ++ to long. This tire already in overseas market 3years plus.

Sure already that long? I thought this tire came out back in 2016, no? Anyway, since this is not a popular brand like Michelin/Goodyear/Continental then not really surprised that it took long to get launched here. The V12E2 also was very late to be available here, probably as late as this FK510 too.

BS is outdated already la. They haven't been featured at the top of any comparison tests for a very long time now.

Damn it, took them so long until i tak tahan and changed to hankookv12evo2....

Still so new, how to compare. And tyre shops seems to have bad affinity with falken brand with multiple shops in my area giving falken tyres some bad comments and shunning to stock them.....

Aiya...still so new, mana ada that fast pakai wan?? This not big brand like michelin/continental.....

Anyway, found online one place selling, 225/45/18 for RM450 :

Pricing not too bad considering tyre is very new and supply limited. For those that are interested but not urgent in changing, prices should drop and stabalise around mid 2019. Just hope that when SST kick in, there are no further "unforeseen forces" pushing prices up again....

Yeah decent pricing, about midway between V12E2 and first tier brands and still pretty cheap considering it's made in Japan, unlike the overrated/overpriced Toyo T1S and Yokohama V105. Most likely sometime next year I will be trying out this FK510.

So this is the next Falken tyre to regain market sales in our country after the obsolete Falken Azenis ST115?

Yup, next to the V12E2 & S1E2, this should be another excellent tire that would give other top brand UHP tires like PS4 & F1A3 a run for their money.

But i guess hankook did well despite being late, see more shops putting up hankook sign boards. I talked to one of the tyre shops before regarding this kind of brand specific sign boards. The shop owner mentioned it is a type of "subsidy" that the specific tyre brand give in terms of renovation costs. So that means hankook plans to eat into the established brands' market.

V105 still got some basis lar....M5's OEM tyre, price definitely steep though.....

V105 has not been winning any tests even back then when it was relatively new so with such steep prices, it's just not worth it, just like the Toyo T1S. One Mark X owner used it before and he totally regretted the purchase as he said the performance/grip is nothing special for that price range and it's very noisy.
