Some people will say different but I would never compromise and fit unknown cheap tyres.

Stick with what people recommend on here ie Goodyear, Vredestein, Toyo etc and you know that it'll be good.

Is your/partner's/kid's life only worth £60 ?

Crap tyres = bad solution, I bought two a couple of years ago to get through the winter, absolutely lethal, no grip whatsoever, I'd rather run on 2mm on a decent tyre than a new crap one.

IMHO

I just took kumho off and replaced with vredestein ultrac sessanta and with current road conditions vredestein much better constant grip.
as starsandstripes reports, very good prices too!

I've never heard of the tyres your looking at therefore I can't comment on them. However I would recommend against fitting budget tyres to any car but especially a performance car.

There's no point having an STI if you put cheap tyres on it. Subaru just wasted all that money on suspension and AWD development.

I would suggest you have a look at what others on here recommend and then read some tyre reviews.

Personally I would recommend Toyo's or Goodyear. Currently running Goodyear f1's and rate them a lot.

The EBay tyres are V rated. As above, steer clear of budget tyres on a performance car.

I had the Kumhos on my WRX Saloon for about 2 years they were not bad tyres but neither were they [b]good[/]. They were quite noisy and the grip deteriorated rapidly when slightly worn and particularly in greasy wet conditions.
My Dad put some on his Volvo (V40 2.0 auto estate) and they lose grip on the front when given the lot on a standing start in damp conditions, they are actually better in full wet weather than in the damp - not exactly a car that should wheel spin easily!?
