And for someone who CLAIMED to "have" some experience with the said brand, you should know the said tyre is RATED at a much higher speed that what james has used it for, so IF all variables like tyre mounting, inflation rate, alighment is all within the manufacturer's recommended spec, the manufacturer/brand owner has the responsibility to answer its consumers.</blockquote>James Chun and Leforte:I have done some legal work (warranty claims) for non automotive matters without going to court. I wish James Chun well. But in a matter of law, it is common for the defendant to use all legal avenues to protect themselves. Circumventing the law or committing an illegal act to achieve an objective which may have statutory rights in itself will likely amount to an indefeasible case. In this situation, the dangerous act of speeding took place in a public area.I was not referring to the competency of the tire at all.A number of variables or a  small lopsided sharp pothole could have affected it or any tire for that matter. Alternatively, at such a speed, it is not possible to see small potholes or small granite stones falling off lorries or ricocheting off elsewhere. The faster the car was driven, the greater the impact of any sharp flying stones will be, if any, which may have initiate a cut.Most established companies will use the local law to ascertain where they stand. It has been known that some companies are more consumer friendly than some others. So then, no harm in trying. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />[/QUOTE]
