Default More advice

Hi all, looking for some QUICK input form you if anyone can help. Just ordered a set of Koya Imagine wheels fitted with 215/45/17 Kumho tyres.
1st. Has anyone heard of Koya wheels? Not been able to find anything on the web about them.
2nd. Kumho Tyres, all l know about them is what l found in the tyre test on Auto Express where they rated them highly for their wet weather cornering and braking.
Price is a MAJOR factor in my decision on getting these tyres. But would l be better off trying to find an extra few ££££ and going for another make of tyre ?? Got to decide on them by tomorrow morning, so any help would be gratefully received

Bryan

Don't know about Khumo road tyres but they are very popular with the rally fraternity so I doubt they're a 'dodgy' tyre.

They are mentioned in this thread if it helps. Don't know if the tyre mentioned is a road tyre though.

Kumho Ecstas are fairly well respedted in the 'budget' end of tyres. A friend of mine has a full set on both his Focus and Fiesta and really likes them.
