I use kumho tyres. Good price.

I second the kumho's

 

[Gizza]

3rd kumho le sports are decent

 

[mjstokes85]

I also have Kumho's, good quality, good price.

 

[mx0range]

i couldnt find the kumhos i wanted in the right size, so went for rainsport 2's. cant complain, pretty decent and good in the wet (which helps in manchester )

Another vote for rainsport 2's here, fantastic tyres.

Although I'm sure I've seen the rainsport 3's are out/on the way?

One more for rainsports 2. Have about 10 mm of tread depth so last for ages. One of the best tyres in the wet.

I`ve just fitted Hankooks to mine and they seem fine ¬¬

Yep, very soon, about time really the sport 2's are way behind but they are at least a 12 year old design now, the new compound I'm sure they are calling sharkskin..

 

[winko]

Hankook Ventus V12, cheap and very grippy

 

[Curtiz]

Another here with Rainsport 2's

Sounds good. The old design is still looks quite modern though.

currently on the cheapest tyres I could find from camskill - nankang ultrasport. now that ive got the pressures right for the money they r ok - but don't expect too much.

my choice tyre is bf Goodrich G force profiler.

To me it looks quite dated now, from a photo the 3's they do look quite good..

They should have a modern compound and you cant stand in the way of progress but I prefer the more aggressive patern of the mark 2 myself


Oh HANG ON !



Had another search and found this on Camskill. These look much better and are deffo more modern than the Mk2 !

Which one is correct though ?

Got nankang ns2 on mine and for the money (about £43 incl fitting) they are ok. Done 12k miles and got an advisory on MOT so only a few thousand miles left. Also got kumho ku39 on the back that are slightly better but lasted 12k and cost £65. Next (summer) tyres will be the rainsports, they last longer and perform better in every way.

Will be ordering some winter tyres this weekend tho before I get the rainsports

I can't warrant the price of Rainsports anymore, so I'm on Hankooks too. Can't comment on what they're like yet because I've only had the rears, but the fronts are being done tomorrow. £75 a corner (205/40/17).

That one.., unless they changed their minds last week., although the photo I saw showed it mounted on the wheel the other way..
