Probably poor tyres, never even heard of them.

Can testify that Goodyear FI Asymmetrics are the dogs danglies in the dry, wet and damp

I thought my previous Toyo T1-Rs were good... but these Asymms? Wow!

A fantastic all round road tyre (they did indeed come tops in evo's TTotY)

Ive never seen tyres like that on anything other than a car trailer. change em.

Ive found Kumho to be a good budget tyre or if your feeling a bit richer go for toyo T1`s or Eagle F1`s.

Extra Load Does'nt cause any probs just means they would normally go on something like a laguna which come standard with extra load. Ive worked in imported tyres for 12 years and never heard of that make mate so bin them coz ive used cheap import stuff and they effin scared the crap outta me. The trade calls them ditchfinders or teflon coated deathmasters (non-stick)
