hi all,
is time for tyres change again... now using Khumho KU31, now targeting Goodyear Excellence. Anyone have any feedback on Goodyear Excellence? My experience with Goodyear LS2000 Hybrid is sucks lor, wonder with Excellence will bet the same again.
I have 2 model in mind, KH31 & Excellence but dun know which to go for.

Used both KU31 (205/50R16) and KH31 (195/50XLR16), following thoughts are obviously subjective cos we don't drive same way and I stay within my limits.
KU31 really noisy after 20K and feel is different after 25K and finally minimum thread at 30K. No trouble driving in rain (Sgp and Malaysia), no aquaplaning. Its good enough for me.
KH31 is much quieter. I went for advance driving, executing e-brake on wet roads. Can't get the ABS to kick in, this means its grip on wet roads. No trouble driving in rain (Sgp and Malaysia), no aquaplaning. Mine is 12K old now so can't comment on ultimate lifespan. BUT for the savings over the KU31 and my kind of driving, I am satisfied.
I am looking at the GY Assurance Fuel Max with Kevlar ...next change maybe

KU31 meet my expectation for wet & dry roads, but i have no confident with GY because i used LS2000 Hybrid totally no grip on dry & wet is terrible. Has anyone used GY Excellence before? how's the performance?

inner wear? too much negative camber ah? That will wear any tire prematurely i think. Do look up www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Goodyear/Excellence.htmUK roads are mostly damp, it rains regularly, although we never reach their kind of cold temperatures, otherwise it can be quite revealing.

Do you mean uneven wear ? My previous tire wear out on one side. Turn out that my toeing is bad. After alignment, now seems OK after 10kkm......

Bro, changed mine to Continental ContiSportContact2 17" 98W Extra Load Tyres at Stamford. Power lah. No regrets. Make sure you ask for extra load tyres and get the wheel alignment done.
