Default Re: ****Tyres**** who runs what

Update:
Fitted 4 x Kuhmo Ecsta KU22 (235 / 45 / 17)
Total cost $606 fitted, balanced, aligned etc from Bob Jane.
MB Mondeo - zetec diesel.

So far, after around 250 km's, have to say that these are fantastic.
Road noise is absolutely minimal & it feels like i am driving the car that i took from the showroom floor.
Was getting extremely frustrated with the old set, tramlining has now completely disappeared, and it drives true & straight. Grip is fine, pushing from a corner or roundabout, there is no hint of losing grip or tyre squeal. Pull up on braking has improved.

Will post an update once i have driven these in the rain/wet. Am in Melbourne, so rain is due any day now....!!!

At the end of the day, it is a 103kw front drive car, and not a performance machine. I believe that these tyres will be more than cabable of the intended job.
