| Kumho Tyres Not sure where to post this, sorry.  Has anyone used Kumho KU MX15 on any Octy RS? I've been using Yokohamma AVS sport for over a year now, and i've been through two sets. Been told that the Kumho's are as good as the Yoko's but half the price, and are a slightly harder compound, therefore, hopefully i should'nt wear them out so quick. Just wondering if anyone knew much about them. Cheers |

| SWMBO just had a Khumo put on the spare - not even looked at it yet but I had them before and they were ok. £51 for a 205/45/16 and to take the Michelin off the spare and fit to the alloy. No point having the michy in the boot doing nothing eh!!

| Reviews section or http://www.google.co.uk/search?compl...G=Search&meta= On a similar tyre, Dunlop SSR 9000, if your after kumho talk to Tony at southshore tyres, cracking price and knows his stuff, really, he's kumho's rally tyre chap. Although the softer you go the less milage you will get. Also stand a chance of less favourable tread patterns for winter. That said the <100 per corner is mighty tempting...but they are you only points of contact, IMHO it's worth going that bit more. I run P-Zero Nero's in Winter / spring / Autum for 15k or so a set.
