I just did the wheels alignment on my Sorento at my regular workshop. They have UC6 SUV now for size 235/55/R19. I used UC6 on my previous car and I was quite satisfied but I'm not sure how UC6 SUV performs as there is literally no online review that I could find. They quoted RM650 (negotiable) before GST.

My current stock tyres are Kumho Crugen HP91. So far quite pleased with the performance. Not sure how much this one costs in the market though.

The shop is HW Tyre (continental branded) in Meranti Jaya, Puchong. Their PS4 SUV and Latitude aren't the cheapest around though.

You are driving your car aggressively la bro. If your car haven't met with accident yet due to skidding, i consider the tires doing its job. If you want it to look nicer drive slower.

Just some ranting here...

I was using Michelin Latitude 235/55/18 on my Toyota Harrier and it has been peeling/tearing.  I was afraid it may explode or something...

Wanted to change to Continental MC5 but was told it was out of stock and he needed some time to get it from the warehouse.  So tyre man recommended the newly released UC6 (UltraContact Diamond).  I was a bit upset because I had contacted shops for MC5 best price and I have not heard of UC6.

So after some browsing on phone and convincing from tyre man, I decided to settle for UC6.  We had a good discussion while changing them.  Apparently Michelin peeling issue does not constraint to Latitude series only. PS3, Primacy (not sure which exact model) and others also face this peeling issue.  I would definitely call this a defect but Michelin says otherwise.

He claims that out of 1000 peeling cases, Michelin will reject them all citing customer fault for using lower tyre pressure than the recommended pressure i.e. pumping not enough air...

Moral of the story is to ask your tyre man whether the particular Michelin model will have peeling/tearing issue after 2 years before deciding to buy them.

p/s:
- Tyre man says the peeling issue is not dangerous or hazardous.  I beg to differ... if it peels, meaning the tyre/tire surface is "moving" while you take corners or braking.  This will definitely affect the performance/safety of your driving.  In my opinion, the tyres are more prone to aquaplaning because the water may be trapped inside.

- Continental UC6 @ RM505 without GST.
Price inclusive of tyre balancing and steel air valve/stem/inlet (this one had to nego nego abit la thumbup.gif ).

Ignore the cuts on sidewalls... tat is just plain bad driving... I'm more concern on the tyre surface
Driven 98% on standard road.. occasionally gravel but it shouldn't tear like what u see in the photos.. and the tyre man confirms that its a known issue for some Michelin tyres...

Btw the Michelin was manufactured 0714
