Tyres??

[colin]

I need to fit 2 new front tyres on my Tuscan and was planning on getting Toyo Proxes T1-s as that is what is currently fitted. However in speaking to a local supplier he strongly recommended going for a Kumho tyre and in particular their KU15, which is a near competition level tyre. He stated that Kumho actually do the development for Goodyear and he believed their tyre was far superior to the Toyo or the Goodyear F1.

Does anyone have any experience of these tyres, or any opinions as to whether they are better than the other options?

Also try the Falken GRBK 451 an excelent tyre and cheaper than most.

Leigh Tyres every time,

search for Toyo's on eBay,

two brand new Toyo 265/18/35's for £150.

Try the new Yokohama Advanm Sports. Good value and awesome. Better than Toyo's easily.

I would tend to stay away from Falkien or Kuhmo on the sort of quality of car you own.

Not so sure about the steering away from 'lesser' brands carte blanc myself. There are quite a few Cerbs running Falkens and singing their praises at present.

Agree in principle what you are saying though, as the number one check when buying any car with me is the tyres. If the owner (or garage) has put cheap nasty crap on it raises the question 'where else have they tried to save money?' .

The Falken 451 is an excellant tyre. Not sure about it's replacement the 452 as not used it but have used the 451s and managed to find a pair for the rear of my Chim at £75 each due to be fitted Saturday.
