Puncture = Kuhmos :)
 

Came out of work today nice and early to be confronted by a flat tyre - woohoo :(
Anyhoo I donned my yellow space saver (unused and VERY embarrasing :o) from the boot of my MY99 and headed to my local and well trusted tyre place.
Seeing as Im changing my car in 3 months I declined my favoured F1's which sit pretty on the front and went for the Kuhmo 205/50ZR16 Ecsta.
I've done a search and see a few here have had them fitted recently - but how are they finding them???I dont drive hard and do over 25k a year etc...

I had a pair of Gislaveds (sp) - put on by previous owner - on the back for 40k and they would have been legal and they gripped well - but the punctured one was damaged beyond repair...:(

Any comments chaps?
Thanks

Hi Abdabz - Ive had the Kumhos for a couple of days now and find them quite acceptable. Bet your puncture was in your back left tyre too wasnt it? Ah well - dont worry about the tyres mate they'll be fine for the type of driving you do...
P :D

Thanks for the reply Abdabz - glad to see you approve of the tyres ;)
And yes it was the rear left - how did you guess ;)

Gislaveds are made by continental... there pattern it identical too, just cheaper... also have a lifetime guarrentee with them...
My brother and sister have them fitted on there cars, and have found them extremley good value for money... very grippy too...

I've had my kumho's for, wait for it................................................ 1 day and so far reasonably happy.

Bought them to replace my old noisy dunlops.Was hoping them to be quieter, but they still drone on certain road surfaces,i guess i'll just have to live with it.
