I doubt the Excellence tyres are better than F1.
The thread design is similar to Kumho KH11
They are trying to put wet grip, durability and comfort in one tyre.
They are made in China.
For Malaysia, I think only 5 sizes as in C.B.T. Sunday Magazine (15" to 17")

Like Yoko C Drive, it has comfort, but grip is not as good as ES100.
Normally, comfort tyres not good for performance and vice versa.

So again I mention, it is up to personal preference on what you want from
the tyres.....comfort, durability, performance - wet grip, dry grip,
cornering, high speed etc......

rdgs,

Excellence is a sport comfort tyre

F1 is for pure performance.

If you have intention to mix your tyres, and you are looking for a quiet
tyre...you can try the Conti CSC2 ( Made in Europe) ....price....RM450.00
only.

205/55R16 CSC1 - RM340.00
