Is a new performance comfort tyre from Kumho.

I notice is available in Malaysia for less than RM300 for 205 55 16.

Tyre thread similar to Michelin Primacy 3ST.

But they name under Solus which is their mid range tyre. They say is a pairing of both performance and comfort therefore still a mid range tyres. If outright performance then it will be their Ecsta range already..... smile_tongue.gif

Yar under Solus and near to RM300

With PS3 pricing dropping to RM380, is better to consider Michelin

I think that with the price of rubber falling, all brands will have to adjust their prices sooner or later. Michelin has made the first move. It should gain some sales. Other makes may have to follow suit.

But then if others are not dropping price could mean that Michelin already losing ground and need to drop price to be competitive..... smile_question.gif

Possible.

Another possible scenario is that Michelin inventory is lower. So when new, lower cost stocks arrive, selling price can be lower.
