Kklim Supercharged November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 Kimchi tyres tend to be ok when new but harden quite fast. Michelins more tahan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckcent 4th Gear November 12, 2014 Share November 12, 2014 i think you deserve a investigation and explanation from the shop or manufacturer . simply share your experience like this is not fair le I am just sharing what I have experienced. All these years I have been using Hankook, from ME01 to K 415 and to V12. Tyres are not bad, it provides good grip in the wet too. After all this I changed to Goodyear. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic November 13, 2014 Share November 13, 2014 Carcass failure is worse than unfair. Was told carcass failure can claim warranty with one for one replacement (case by case basis). Can check if the tire rubber getting harder with age? Good idea. What does carcass failure mean? Does it mean whole tire explode? Anyway, if that happens and they give a 1 for 1 replacement, I don't think I have the confidence to use it anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
