QUOTE(Buydirect @ Jun 12 2018, 03:12 PM) For those who own the KX or EX , it is now possible to upgrade the horizontal radiator grill to diamond grille as pictures below to look like the SX. What do you think? How much is the radiator grill? My FIL asking me to change to radiator grill as he doesn’t like the horizontal grill

Any owners having issued that their stock Kumho tyres are easily blistered/bulged? My FIL 2018 Carnival only clocked about 20k but 2 months back we claimed 1 stock tyre from the distributor as we found a blister on the thread, instead of the usual sidewall.
When we went to our regular tyre shop to change the tyre, the owner asked us to claim for a new tyre as he said the place where the blister occurred could be from manufacturing defect.
When my wife and her brother went to KIA Glenmarie, the SC there refused to entertain their request but she managed to get the address of Kumho distributor. My wife managed to get the Kumho distributor to replace a new tyre (but we had to top-up due to the mileage).
Recently we found another tyre had blisters too and we don't know if there is a problem with this batch of tyre

QUOTE(Buydirect @ Jul 15 2019, 04:11 PM) Some Feedback from a user from social media: After over 2 years and 40,000 KM, the conditions of the Kumho Crugen tyres on my KGC are unsafe. The thread is uneven and two have bulges. Opted for Yokohama Advan Sport 235/60 18 at KeanLeeHin. Quality and friendly service. Price per donut please inquire seller directly. As for the tyres. The Advan Sport is a massive improvement over the stock Kumho. Steering feels more direct, straight line tracking is better too. The sidewalls feel firmer, giving you more confidence especially when cornering. Recommended. Thanks for sharing the user feedback. Seems like the safest option is to replace all stock tyres with better model. Pity that the tyres only clocked 20k for 1 1/2 years and we reckon it should have some mileage left before we start shopping for new tyres

I don't have any issues about KGC windscreen yet as so far the issue on my in-laws' KGC that me and my missus have to settle are the tyres and suspension.
But coming from 2nd-gen Mazda CX-5, there have been few reported cases where the windscreen cracks for no apparent reason. Some members managed to claim their windscreens replacement from Mazda directly (without using their WS insurance) when the SC confirmed that there were no stone chips, marks, etc on the cracked area.
Maybe can try your luck with KIA's SC

QUOTE(vsmseiko @ Aug 8 2019, 08:05 PM) Can share what were the tyre and suspension issues? Thks One of the tyre had a bulge on the thread, not at the usual sidewall. Our friendly neighbourhood tyre shop suggested we claim from the manufacturer as he suspected manufacturer's defect. KIA SC didn't want to entertain our claim so my wife, being a lawyer, went direct to the tyre supplier to argue our case and one of the staff there admitted that they have received few complaints on similar type of defect on the stock Kumho tyres from KGC owners, so they relented and replaced the defect tyre with a new one. As for the suspension, my BIL felt some sort of the steering vibration and the car tends to pull to the left. The SC admitted that the suspension is faulty and they replaced it under warranty
