In my opinion, silicone hoses are not as suitable as their rubber counterpart for water. Silicone's water permeability rate is greater than rubber. The daily heat cycling of a road car will cause you to lose water from your cooling system at a quicker rate. Maybe its the weather here in Malaysia, but compared to when i had standard rubber hoses, i find that my reservoir tank now needs more frequent top-ups.
