The thread pattern looks unusual for KDW. Is that a tyre for off road or road?

Advantage T/A should be normal entry level tyres only isn't it? The other tyre they have here is an off road tyre called All-Terrain KO2.



In Ipoh, a Michelin dealer is selling them. Try Michelin dealers and see?
KDW for road use and UHP category and if you look clearly is directional pattern.....lol:driver:

Vr2..how are your LG47 tires doing so far.., cause im thinking to change my frustrating goodyear eagle f1 which bloated towards the end of usage..

with the price of LG47 sure it is an ideal replacement if it holds to the last..

Firstly is LG27 and I have transferred them to my NA Hyundai already. During my short use is not bad, but hard corner it screech a bit, but what to expect from a budget tyres. Overall it held pretty well.

Which F1 you having that bloated?

F1 D5 or F1 Asy 2?
Mine also 215/45R17 but is Asy2 used for 5 years until compound harden, no bulge....:driver:

If performance model then go for Ventus V12 Evo2, this is summer UHP. V2 Concept 2 is all season HP.
Your tyre size many to choose from. Want cheap then Land Golden LG27.....lol:biggrin:

Yeah I also used F1D5 for 3.5 yrs until pretty much destroyed and no complaints except the chipping.
Maybe certain sizes? Like Asy 2 I heard a few complaints from 18" bulging, but never on 17".....lol:biggrin:
