Quiet tyres?
Hi
Just got my Scooby at the weekend (MY01 wagon) and found that the rear tyes need replaced (Bridgestone) and the front are pretty new Wanli ones.
Not heard good things about the Wanli so want to change all four.
Almost ordered Kumho KU15 (£250 for the 4 fully fitted) but read somewhere that they are pretty noisy.
I do around 20k miles a year and really don't thrash the Scooby round the corners (I know, why did I get one then....) so I'm looking for something that will last around 15k miles and is also quiet for the motorway trips.
Any suggestions for a decent £60-£80 tyre?
Cheers
Richard.

If it were me, I'd pay the extra £15-20 a corner and opt for a better brand. Not tried Kumhos on a scoob, but can say you get what you pay for..especially in wet weather grip and braking distances.

After a lot of searching on the forum I've ordered Avon ZZ3's - for £78 a corner fully fitted/balanced (inc VAT). Looks like their longevity is a bit better than the Toyo's, etc and seem to have a decent write up.
