Kumho Tyres Deal

[pistonfest]

As some of you may know, from the dinner last night after the Autosport show, I have negotiated a discont deal for Viper Club Owners to buy discounted Kumho tyres from a major UK distributor.....namely Micheldever Tyre Services based in Winchester.
All deals will ultimately be done directly by those who are interested in buying, but to start the ball rolling, if those interested in making purchases, can list their requirements below, it will help me get the info to the company, and then they can reply directly to you with your individual discounted prices......then if you are happy with their proposal, you can deal direct with the distributor at a discounted UK Viper Owners Club rate.
Hopefully this info helps those that are looking to buy.........bye for now folks.

Phoned these guys last week and were unable to do a deal on V70A,s in 335 or 275 sizes and said i should try Kumho themselves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Also got a keep price from a supplier only £95 for the fronts!!!!,the Kumho was a 701s and they advied that it was the same tyre as the v70A......checked with Kumoho teck office and infact its a road tyre NOT a road legal race tyre.After many phone calls DEMON TWEAKS have a good price...275 £135 335 £165 so if all else fails try them.

Those prices sound very cheap...do they include VAT ??

While DT usually offer good service, Ive never found them to be cheap, which is why I ask. Their catalogues etc usually indicate prices excl VAT.

Heres another supplier. Im not saying their prices are any better however, just another supplier.

they will supply the tyres direct, so you may save on a big distributors mark up

I've just had Kumhos fitted on my BMW 730 - 'cos they were only £58 a corner.

So when peoiple say 'Nyaaah, cheapo Kumhos', presumably I can say 'Actually, old bean, as fitted to Dodge Vipers...'?

[stevieturbo]

Michelin Pilots are fitted as std as far as I know. They are very good tryes.

The Kumhos they refer to are a control racing tyre. Soft compund tyre that is also legal for the road.
Kumho Ecsta V700 or V700 victoraver I think which is a more road orientated version, but still soft compound

Ive had Kumho road tyres on one of my cars before, and I can safely say I will not use that type of tyre again.
IMO Michelin Pilots are the best proper road tyre Ive used so far.
