Oh, not real apple-to-apple comparison as well.During the time that I had F1A2, when brand new, I had a friend driving an Odyssey ride in my car, went to a quiet stretch of road at night wind down the window and cruise down that road. He was amaze how quiet it was for a Max performance tyre. Wet and dry grip was superb, that was why it was winning most of the tyre test those days.
To be fair my F1A3 have only been to Ulu yam for touge and they were good. I drive different stretch of road now from previous since I don't work in Shah Alam anymore and my F1A3 also up size to 225/45R17 from 215....
Anyway so far I'm pretty happy with them even though old model. My next target in 2+yrs time after this will be the Hankook S1 Evo series now, coz I'm loving how the V12E2s perform so far on my wife's Livina! Really good value for money.
