Yokohama ADVAN Fleva V701

[ixeo]

PS3 195/50R15 I think can get at RM240, but Fleva at RM195 still cheapest.....

That's RM180 difference for 4 donuts..

4 PS3 for 5 Fleva...

Same like in the past when I was using S-Drive, friend ask when not PS2, but for my size S-Drive was RM380, PS2 was nearly RM700, even bigger difference.....

If there's nothing else new coming in another 1-2 yrs, looks like this v701 will be my first value for money choice, otherwise I'd get the PS4 if I feel rich enough!

Bro. 6UE5t start save now, 1-2 years later more than enough......lol

Ah! just for your info, last week at one tyre shop, the boss inform me that China brand tyres started to up their prices dy. Not only falling RM but raw material all in USD...

On the PS3, price I last checked was RM260 inclusive of GST, 195/50 R15. RE003 was RM212.

RM195 here.. assuming that price is without GST, the final price is RM207 with GST.

If the prices hold until Q3 of this year, I'll get the Fleva.

The RE003 does wear rather fast. With 400 thread wear on this Fleva, its gonna last.

Good price too, these should last plenty of kms i would say
Might just outlast the PS3

Scare you can find where they selling it.

Make it more rare so got market positioning. Create mystery and demand.

A friend of mine who used PS3, then RE003 then switched to V701 says RE003 wet no confidence.. V701 better in wet (while still relatively new)..but not to the point of PS3 in the wet.

I won't go as far as saying RE003 wet no confidence.. (things are relative) cause if RE003 sucks in the wet... people using NCT5 and Ecopia Ep200 end up in the ditch already.

Guess I need more feedback from people with experience on the PS3 and now using Fleva.

RE-003 is not mistaken Traction rating A only. PS3 and V701 are AA rated. Straight line grooves RE-003 less and shoulder is smaller. PS3 3 grooves much larger, V701 have 4 grooves

I am using RE003 on my car, and yes, during Wet days is not that good compared to PS3. When new it is quite good, but when use more than 50% that time, it is really not inspiring confidence in wet.

But not as bad as those NCT5 or so i guess... As previous i was using CC5 and MC5, it was really bad...

i am still running on common tires NCT5 felt these are already better than the old set of rubbers that i got rid of (some Dunlop if not mistaken), all cos i haven't been exposed to stickier rubbers :s:

been looking and reading into all you sifus opinions on tires, been eyeing on the RE003 as my next replacement but these V701s are looking so promising!
