Other than that i don't get it. Those tyres do nothing for performance even making performance worse off road and in the wet. If you want dry weather road performance you'd best just lower it. And I thought the 19" wheels on my KX-S were just a big Waank. 17" wheels are probably best for the car as it seems to be the KX-S and Grande that have the tyre problems, not the KX-R. I will give you my opinion: 99 % of people fit big mags on 4WD for looks only. 75 % of Kluger buyers will never go of road (beach or lawn doesn't count) Lover profile tyre will support cornering better making KXS and Grande handle better. Of course,because more load od tyres they will wear faster. Good choice of wheel and tyre will make car handle better. I know that lot of people go to Tempe and buy cheap heavy rims and China made tyes (Linglong,Nexen Achilles ans similar crap) On my Grande i had factory 19's , 20's and now 22 inch. It does handle better in both dry and wet.After 25K on same tyres there in no sign of wear (Aligment every 10K @ Dealership). As i work for Dealer, i drive Kluger's of all sorts on daily basis and i have good chance to compare. BTW, i got 22 inch for looks only - for performance i have another (very fast) toy.
