around 55k. i kind of ignore it till this morning.
just yesterday travelling from kl with heavy foot drive
any idea why only happened at back tyre??

any suggestion on tyre?
i think to change to yokohama C drive.
seem this evening will change all 4

recommendation please

will change today.
just thinking on change to 15' rim as fuel price hike

update,

just change new rubber, 2 only. later this month another 2 (back).
MC5 195/50/16 RM295 each (December 2012 rubber).
JB tyre price quite different from klang.
but now hati senang mau drive

Lucky it didn't happen to me as i always on heavy foot on highway.
just 2 weeks ago ride to cameron highland. (tapah road)

but still curious on why this crack only happened at rear tyre?
all 4 rubber were stock with car and same manufacturing date.
logicically, this crack should appeared at front tyre first due to more axial movement.
or maybe chamber setting @ alignment can can create this?

how old your silverstone when this happen?
and what your speed when it blow?

lucky it not blow at high speed.
that the fear factor for me..
but really rear tyre very hard to detect if it's flat.
ones my rear tyre get blow (hitting curb) resulting koyak at tyre and still drive 1KM till reach office.

Better than SC1 in term of comfort, more silence, but same as SC1 in wet condition (good but not great).
Still need to test in fast cornering as this tyre have more soft side wall (for me) than SC1.

for regular & skit2 spirited driving, it's good.

Have you survey the price at your place for MC5??

wrong typing,
SP1 should be SC1.
SC1 = sport contact 1 (continental)

i think it's quite good deal for middle class tyre.
the best think will be better NVH & long lasting tyre.
