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.

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.

Tried v8 when first came out, within 3 day whole thread block got torn out by glass bottle shred, normally will be stuck or poke in at most, for whole chunk torn out from both wheel on right side, no warranty, offer me to change new again at 10% discount, I go elsewhere change conti instead, the build quality is like China toy quality

Now using S1 EVO , grip is better on wet and dry than my previous V12.

 

I'm on 235/45/17 and overall grip and brake performance as such

 

Bridgestone RE01R > RE050 = S1 EVO > V12
