thescrapman Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I'm thinking you should have bought the tyres last week... :-)I've got Kumho Ecsta something on the Vectra, seem to be wearing well, terrible in the snow.The KH-17Got a Which? award in 2009 for the 185/60-14 variant.http://www.kumhotyre.co.uk/news/news090401.htmlWhat size you buying???

thescrapman Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 Which? list both those makes with a 13inch variant as a "Don't Buy" due to very poor wet performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I would go for Dunlop SP Sport 01Or Conti Premium Contact 2 V (91) ratedLots and lots of choice around the £50 a corner mark.Just check the speed and loading ratings as the faster tyres can be cheaper.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 this late in the the day I have to go with what is stocked locally. Went for the Khumo, got them down from £57 to £53 with a free wheel alignment. Pleased with that as they have a Hunter setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
