I am sure it cant be used in Sepang. For everyday driving I think it is sufficient I feel. Stock tyres wet performance not good too...

But seriously the stock Kumhos on daily drive I give it above average. compared to ST115, Gdyr F-1 & Toyo T1R.....The Kumho hydro-plane may not be as good as them. but comfort level is much better. After taking the Koup, my wife is complaining the T1R on her Civic.

From experience, traction control only comes in when your wheels spins a couple of times with no traction, which based on my estimation approx 2 - 3secs before in will kick in.

er... guys,... traction control only controls the driven wheel, which for our case is the 2 front wheels.. only EDB then will help to brake individual wheel be it front or back or driven or dead.

I THINK I experienced the traction control of the Koup which saved me from a near accident and spinning off. When I swerved to the left very abruptly to avoid a stationary vehicle on PIE, I was sure the car was about to spin. All was a blur, and I just hear the wheels ruffling the tarmac, next moment the car was straight. I'm still not sure if this is caused by the traction control though. Road conditions was a little wet. My Jewels was up in my throat after that incident.

Any idea what is the max offset for our ride so that the tyre will not be protrude out?
