A lot of people swear by Ecopia. I'm surprised to be honest. I've never had much faith in Bridgestone.
RE-003 ok mah! and got many better but only thing is expensive......hhahahhaha:biggrin:
Hahaha I also quite anti Bridgestone for many2 years! Only this RE003 tempts me to try but alas got no size that I need that time. But now comes out the Hankooks which are so far even cheaper, maybe I will never try the Bridgestone anyway. :biggrin:

I also did not try BS yet. Almost use the RE-001, but my size was Made in Thailand, where other sizes were from Japan and it was more expensive than the Yokos I was using, so I gave it a miss.....:biggrin:

That's the main reason I'm quite anti BS, the prices! Seems not worth it especially when they review results are also so-so only.

Yup, so far they have not been on top for quite a while already. Always GY, Conti and Michelin....

A friend changed from Continental Premium Contact 2 to this Yoko's AE50, can really feel the grip was only so so compared to the previous CPC2's.. and even the cpc2's themselves are very prone to sliding on corners.., can notice the ESC kicks in more with the ae50 on..

Yoko AE-50 are Eco mid tyres. Even CPC2 with AA traction are mid tyres only. If your friend priorities are more into performance and cornering he needs UHP tyres, like Conti CSC range or Yoko S-Drive

Bluearth AE-50 actually out some time already. I got my friend to fit 4 pcs on his Estima a few months back.
Should be a quiet tyre like dB V551. Have to contact him and see how he is doing on them.

For me, I am using the Geolander G055 and they are very lasting even for a SUV.....
Hey vr2turbo, it'll be awesome if you or your friend can chip in with some reviews

I'm currently trying out a set of 215/45/17 and am loving it, coming from the AD08R these ecoish tyres are a massive change of feel to my daily Clio.

very true, but somehow these more mainstream AE50 tyres seem to compliment the hatch better.

The AD08R used to be 225/40/18 on 18x8 and was inducing some tramline effect especially after 10K KM.

tramline? It was pulling left/right by itself?

Yeah on certain roads, which I suspect is likely due to the squarer profile of the AD08R when in 225/40 on a 18x8
