Default Kumho tyres (came with alloys) change or keep?

theyre kumho ecsta supra's. not too bad in the dry, but 'slippery when wet'

do u think its worth forking out another £300+ for some decent tyres or just keep em out & hope my luck holds out???

do you value your car at more than £300?
you obviously dont have confidence in them so I would say best to change them, it is the "wet season" after all

I had those tyres until earlier this week when O got some USED Pirellis. CHANGE THEM NOW! the kuhmos are horrid, they tram line, bump steer, slip and slide at the slightest sign of damp, they're noisy as ****, otherwise no problems.

Just as Peanuts says, no confidence? bin them.
Toyo TS-1's?

I race on Kumho V700's but they are a very different tyre indeed.

I found the TS-1's really very nice in all conditions, especially when half worn (or more)
