[QUOTE="haywire, post: 678585, member: 16474"] Bad experience with these tyres continues. Today i went to TTH tyres and got me some good second hand tyres to replace the bulging tyres above. So tonight I was driving to Kuantan, was doing about 170kmh when I overtook a white VW Scirocco after Lanchang R&R. After I overtook him, he started chasing me and tailgating me, so I floored and was doing 200-230 all the way from Lanchang to Maran, leaving him behind but he's catching up when I'm stuck with cars in front. Suddenly after Maran R&R the car felt funny, and loud sound from the rear tyres so I slowed down to 170kmh and within seconds there was a 'POP!' sound and I immediately stopped. There was no loss of control of the car, I stopped like I normally would without any wobbling whatsoever. So this was what happened to the OTHER Kumho tyre I changed in December (I changed 2, both went bad): [img]http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3767/8806008703_3c5d39c956_c.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5327/8806210761_d4fa77f196_c.jpg[/img] Not my first blowout, I had my first about 10 years ago in the UK, and I remembered the telltale of a blowout before it happens which is why I slowed down, although this is much faster speed than I had with my old car. Slight hiccup while changing the spare tyre, but arrived safely in Kuantan about half hour ago. [/QUOTE]
