I don't claim to be a expert on tyre's but we pay a lot of money for these cars and to go for the cheaper option to me is a bad choice.

You mean that buying Izcheapo Ditchfinders is a less than good move.  :blink:

.......and you are right.  £800 on a £65k car is nothing.  Even on a £28k used one it is still that way.  Your/your family's life....priceless!

Hi Nine468 when I made the quote I was not referring to Toyos but Grumpywurzel's experience with Kumhos.

I bought my car with Bridgestone tyre's on and they grip like glue I will replace with the same.
I'm not trying to tell anybody what to do I'm no way near qualified to, but just voicing my opinion.

You don't need to spend £800 to get a "good" set of tyres though.

Local tyre place.  He gets them in from Micheldever Tyres and adds very little.  Can't be doing too badly as he's already a millionaire.

I found  this link in my bookmarks for some reason:
https://www.tyreleader.co.uk/car-tyres/ ... GwodUSwCIQ

Don't know anything about the manufacturer, but seem (too?!) cheap for a 20".

Not really, the Jinyu 21" are less than that, but are garbage for an X
