I still say Michelin tyres are consistently above average. Having personally used all the ones I've mentioned.
That being said, some underdogs give damn good value for money - Hankook V12, Kumho Ku31, NOT the Falken 912s.
Yeah agree on the 912s. What's with Bridgestone and Falken these days? Their tyres are getting worst with each new model coming out.
I thought the V12 had soft sidewalls? Hmm.. I wanna go the soft sidewall route.
Michelin tyres are good, just that they are priced much higher that is why did not try them.
215/45R17 PS2 price those days was RM750, where I can get Yoko S-Drives and Toyo T1-R for RM380.
Hankook V12Evo have quite a following. Kumho KU31 was, but after certain sizes started coming from Vietnam there was issue of bulging. Not sure if they have settled that because not many using nowadays.
Falken ZE-912 is Ziex range (mid), so cannot compare to Hankook V12 which is Ventus range and KU31 is Ecsta range. Should be compared to Hankook Optimo range and Kumho Solus range.
Falken higher range is the Azenis model like FK453.
Sort of like Bridgestone Potenza and Turanza ranges.....
