Both also eco tyres should be about equal. Half worn even UHP tyres becomes weaker in the wet.....

My experince with Viking ProTech wet grip was terrible. This Viking model consider eco tyre?

Viking CT05 and PT5 are entry level tyre, one for smaller size and the other larger sizes if not mistaken.

 

Dunlop SP 2000 listed as UHP but they are not represented fully in Malaysian market now. Dunlop brand now are owned by Goodyear, Sumitomo and some other company, depending in which part of the world. Asia is by Sumitomo....

I think XM2 wet grip is a bit better than EP200 - it has better aquaplaning resistance.

Larger sizes of XM2 will have 3 straight grooves while the smaller size have 2 grooves only, so will have weaker aquaplaning resistance

OK, to further clarify, I was referring to 205/55 R16 sizes.
