Horrible tires were available for purchase. During the course of two and a half seasons, there were a total of 12 hernias on four wheels; only two of them were even able to get off the ground. On the racetrack, both of my wheels were positioned to the right side for ejection when I snagged a stone that was laying on the road. The side cuts were around 10 centimeters in length. One gets the impression that the sidewalls are made of balloons; there are none. It would appear that the resistance to mechanical stress was to blame for the decline in driving performance. It is possible that they are suitable for Hong Kong and the regulations there, but they are not suitable for the provinces, and even less so for SUVs that make frequent travels into the countryside. Kumho has taken his place, and the entire season has passed without any controversy.
