Best tyre in 2018 from Tyre Reviews UK

Last time when I checked for my front 17' I got the FK453 for only rm350/pc while PS3 was still around rm525/pc. So I'm guessing it should be around 30+% than PS4, maybe just a bit more expensive than the V12E2.
You wait. Once it's done I'mma gonna throw rocks are your boat.
That's insanely exp for the PS3... wow. I pay 460 for the PS4 and I'm already bitching. 350 a piece for the 453 I wouldn't mind at all.

My size of 215/45R17, those days Yoko S-Drive, Toyo T1-R, Dunlop SP9000, GY F1 GS-D3 all around RM380 to 400. later years of Asy and Asy2 around RM430 to 450 while PS3 was around RM550, so they are still the premium priced tyres......lol
The size I was looking for was 225/5017 at that time (almost 2.5yrs ago before PS4 came) so quite a bit more expensive than 225/45/17 or 215/45/17 coz much less common. I ended up buying the CSC5 for rm500/pc instead.
Your size nowadays many car using already. Kumho PS31 have, Achilles ATR Sports and Sports 2, GT Radial Champiro HPY and their new GTX Pro also have. GTX Pro pattern looks like old Hankook V12 Evo.....lol
Nowadays got more options but back then not as many, not yet V12E2 or Fleva and no F1A2/D5 for that size. And I'm not at all interested/convinced with Kumho or Achilles.
Kumho Escta KU31 had quite a following those days. Even their extreme XS KU36 and V720 are quite well known at the tracks.
Based on Autobild's tests, Fleva rank pretty poorly. Tyre review site got it.
Kumho, honestly depending on which one, can perform pretty OK for the price.
Yes, I'm not interested anymore on the Fleva especially since the V12E2 is more proven AND cheaper too!
As for Kumho, it's not just the performance but also the reliability, just not convincing for me coz often heard some bulging or deformation issues etc.
Yes it seems for consistency they are not doing that well.
I'm using Kumho KU39 for a 4x4 at home, don't travel at high speeds, and don't see that much use so i guess not that much issues.
FK510 vs Hankook V12 evo2.. I guess whichever cheaper, that's the winner.
NIce, KU39 are UHP tyres.
Yokohama after replacing S-Drive with Fleva is worse....lol
Even the C-Drive 2 now is gone, they don't seems to have a mid tyre category. High category V105 is expensive and performance not in league with PS4, CSC6 and Asy3.
In fact YHI seems to be distributing cheaper range tyres now like Neuton

Where do you guys go to change your tyres btw? I feel like the prices are all over the place. Havent been able to find a reliable shop that sells at reasonable prices
Yokohama already just released the new Advan db overseas though, so that should be their mid-range. Not sure when it will arrive here.
It depends. For me it's not worth the RM80 savings to drive all the way to Klang for a set of 2 tyres at a cheaper price so I just go to my friendly tyre store outside my house which I've built a rapport with already to get my tyres. But at the same time sometimes when I have a target tyre and want to change all 4, sometimes it's cheaper to drive to Klang and get it done there.
The alternative to going to Klang is to bring @vr2turbo and get him to talk to the tyre shop bosses since he seems to know all the big tyre shop bosses!

Yeah I'm the same aswell, couldnt be bothered to drive all the way to Klang to save less than RM100. Haven't found one that's my go to thought. Its hard, as the price differences can sometimes be massive. I paid RM300 for a joyroad tyre before believing it was cheap loool. Currently i've been going to Rabbit Tyres & E.D. Tayar, their prices for Continental & Michelin seem alright
Yes, E.D. Tayar seems pretty competitive with their pricing. Some other ones maybe are OS Autocare, and Kok Sport Rim (I found that one in Mudah).

50 savings each tire is 200 all round. I’d go down to klang. Have some bkt as well.
Usually I just call my tyre guy to confirm price and stock before I go down.

Actually they have the AE-50 that suppose to replace the C-Drive 2 but that one more for comfort and quiet, which many don't want. C-drive 2 more in between with a bit of performance.
No lah! most of my contact are in PJ, some near Klang
ED tyres have like 4 shops in Shah Alam, Family business. Some more into truck, the one in town central have Continental signboard run by the son. HupShun in Sunway if not mistaken is the Uncle.....lol
OS Autocare prices also not bad. Klang tyre shops mostly in Jalan Kapar, from Hin Leong, Hock Li, Chin Heng, Eng Cheep, Ban Hooi etc....
Kota Kemuning got Weng Heng, Subang SS14 got Weng Tat and many more.....lol
Btw great news guys, I have gotten a reply from Falken Malaysia that the FK510 is indeed already available in Malaysia!
Yup, this will be high on my list for the next change. Basically if I got budget surely go for PS4, if tight on budget then I either go for that FK510, or V12E2, or S1E2.
