Newkid 2nd Gear April 22, 2011 Share April 22, 2011 had a friend from msia who bought this from SGP. size 235, 18 inch. profile can't remember. price was really good. he travelled to and from KL to SGP once a month. after 5 months, 3 of his tryes' inner wall cracked. found out when he went servicing. damn lucky. my opinion is use at your own risk.

The problem should lie with either the vulcanisation or calendaring process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mdzul04 Clutched April 22, 2011 Share April 22, 2011 Bro, give this tyre a miss.. I used it and a friend of mine used it. He went on a trip to Malacca, came back 2 of the tyres had 'bulge". After about 10,000km, it's really noisy. I got mine changed in less than a year with less than 20,000km. I made a promise to never try Indonesian-made tyres anymore.
