Hi guys, anyone has this donut on their rideĀ  currently? Any review? Its a UHP tyre as far as i know, correct?

No, it's not UHP but normal touring tire and based in the latest tests, quite a poor one too. Read this latest review below. It basically performed the poorest in all categories: longest braking distances and worse handling no matter dry or wet, soonest to aquaplane too, 2nd worse in comfort, and the heaviest weight too. I'd personally avoid it.

I am currently using SU1, driving high speed on highway almost everyday(pre-MCO), I would say this is a good piece of rubber. Very stable at 190kmh, good braking distance, cornering is tight. Only when the tire is reaching 80% of its life, I do start to feel performance drop.

Excellent on dry tarmac
Above par water dispersion on wet tarmac

Cons: tire tend to chipped after some vigorous use

All in all, it is a good piece of rubber, worth every penny. It is made in Korea.

P/s I am switching to Primacy 4 after SU1 and I am on All Wheel Drive vehicle.

Probably you don't have good enough other tires as references to compare it too, plus you don't professionally test them thru real measurements like those tire testers. Primacy 4 surely a much better step up so go ahead upgrade to that next time. Maybe by then you can inform again how much better the P4 or then realize how much poorer the Su1 was.
