Yeah I was eyeing for the Hankook v12e2 too but most of the tyre shops don't carry 225/50R17 size unfortunately, still in the midst of googling around.

No need to google so much. If you manage to already found a shop that sells the v12evo2 at a reasonable price, just not the size you wanted, head there and ask for the size you want. 225/50/17 is available based on hankook malaysia's website.

At worse, will just put an order and you wait a little while for it to arrive.

Wow quick reply. The PS4 on the clock is about 55k++with front & rear rotation once since if i can recal last fitted at 40k mileage. Thread still has about 20%-30%. Surprisingly it still grips well on wet.

Save your cash for now, you can keep your ps4 down to the thread wear indicator line. Despite being a tyre manufacturer, michelin is a strong advocate against changing tyres prematurely (albeit they standby this claim on their own tyres, not other brands). Your claim that it still grips rather well in wet despite quite worn down stands proof of their formula and engineering of their compounds.

On the other hand, i feel like the lower price point of the fk510 can change in the foreseeable future. The lower price point is likely falken's way of penetrating the market and create some buzz among the car community. Some months ago, i observe the pricing of the fk510 in singapore is going up. Either could be due to too high demand, or really, the "promotion" period is going to end. But i could be wrong.

Another alternative econo-performance tyre would be the hankook v12evo2. I'm using it now. Compared to the ps4, you would likely observe some improvement towards rolling refinement, but lose out a bit when comes to performance at limit. But still, the performance is still way better than the factory fitted toyo t1s.

What happened to this tyre? Totally vanished from mudah listing now, no more selling in our market? Even the relatively new re004 already have quite some listing....
