I for one, usually replace my tyres even before the tread wears down to their tread wear indicator, as research has shown that a tyre's braking performance diminishes considerably even though the depth of the tread pattern is still within legal limits. So when it was time to replace my set of Goodyear Excellence tyres, I decided to give the Bridgestone Ecopia EP200 a try.

I have had a brief experience with the Ecopia EP200 back in 2013, at the Bridgestone Proving Ground in Ayutthaya, Thailand, and came back pretty impressed with it.

I actually paid a deposit for ceramic coat 3 layer with interior but held off for now due to the fact that the dealer gave a complimentary ceramic coat. It was called Gyneon Quartz and done by regal valet. There is an annual maintenance I was told, around $250.

I've used Opti Coat / Optimun Coating before and not too pleased with the results especially the water spot marks. I must say I'm pretty impressed with ceramic coating. I'll be doing the full ceramic pro coating within 3 -6months time.

As the owner of an Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio, I was pretty impressed by the 280hp Alfa Stelvio Sport, but would prefer driving a Ti Sport to see how it feels on 20" wheels and tires. To me, it was impressively quick at speed, but a tad soft taking corners.

Nothing a good set of stiffer sway bars can't improve though. Debating getting one for Winter and inclement weather driving.
