Actually really depend on how hard u drive and how demanding are u on the noise level.

Some so call 'green' or economic tyre . Its really lasting but the rubber is very very hard. Got very poor dry grip. Some cases the tyre can spin on mscp. (Dry)

Some tyres are poorly make. The wear and tear is very uneven. Creating waves. The sound is like bearing damage when u drive.

But in general u are right. The quality of cheap or budget brand esp from China have evolved and improved alot compare to 10+ years ago.

 

Previous tyre was Michelin XM2+ which was an energy tyre.

It had really good grip. I didn't feel a lot of fuel savings tbh, but was a great all rounder.

Makes me wonder how some eco tyres can even masquerade as performance because it really performed well. 

I guess the real difference is when you put it to real testing on track and go and actually measure braking distance etc.

Ok la fair, but then again during torrential rain most drivers would keep below 80kmh. At 60 70kmh there is no real opportunity for wet grip testing to speak of too...

P/s don't Hog the Road..if it is Raining.

you don't need torrential rain. Just a wet road after rain, slight downslope and e-brake to see if your tyres are good or rubbish.

Yes, dead because of PAP. Many brands forced to move out of SG after PAP policy changes. So many. 

Back to the "nobody wants to work in factory anymore". Malaysians are willing to work because of the currency rate. Singaporeans can't work because the measly salary is hardly enough to feed a family. 

And because the factories know that Malaysians will still take the job, they continue to suppress the salary of low level workers.

People say SG is first world country but I firmly believe SG is still third world. Which first world country still uses foreign workers for menial jobs and ferry them around in lorries? Companies are lazy to invest in modern technology because they are still reaping the benefits of cheap foreign labour.

Eh crap, OT liao. Back to Kumweng brand tyres :D
