For commercial use, I would have thought your prime concerns would be tyre cost per mile and customer security - in which case your best choice would be Michelin.

anyway, the tyres arrived at Mr Tyre, the manager said they did sell the same, but while the rears were a pair, the fronts were not...

So i paid extra for 4 Kuhmo tyres

2 x Kumho Ecsta PS71 245/40 R18 Y (97)
2 x Kumho Ecsta Le Sport KU39 265/35 R18 Y (97)

I thought after, im going from 105ps/FWD (Superb) to 205PS/RWD (E250) and auto...... im gonna be skating anyway

Better to buy one smal house in Wales than two houses in Gwangju . . . :D

But you're the boss . .

Your 2000€ must have cost you about £1212 in 2000. With the pound in its present state, your 2000€ are now worth £1790, so yes, you've made a nice little profit (in £ terms ;) ).

Fine with kumho imo..

For those recommending Michelin for better price per mile I disagree I've found they don't outlast others.. 40k motorway miles on Avon/nexen. 35k miles on Michelin

Years ago I was told it was one of the fells in the lake district, can't remember exactly which one. The rumour was that mountain rescue always used to pee in the rain gauge on their way off the hill to make sure they didn't loose their position in the rain stakes.

Strange (to me) how the different size configurations so dramatically affect the performance characteristics (see label scores tab) variations are huge A-G variations! It’s hard to see how the site can review a tyre generally, when one size is A rated and another is so different?
