yea agree....I've seen so much cases of tyre bloating, side wall cracking, and customer complain of noisy, and bad handling during wet weather and most of all, their average mileage for each tyre is about 30K-40K km(for heavy car, normally worn out by 25K km).

only consider these tyre IF the car is rarely use/only use for short distance due to the cheaper tyre price.

for normal/regular usage (milage about 15K km to 25K km per year), there are many cheaper yet reliable tyre brand in the market like DUNLOP, VIKING, SILVERSTONE (definitely not M3 and M5 model), yokohama, goodyear, continental and now even TOYO malaysia (NEO 3). these type of tyre normally can last average 45K km to 60K km.

for heavy user (those who travel more than 5000 km a month), from my observation on salesmen car and highway taxi, MICHELIN XM2 is the most value for money tyre in the long term. cos it can last more than 100K km compare to other brand while the price different with other reputable brand is just around 30% extra.(not forgetting the reliability of tyre).
