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 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.
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.

No offence taken...

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.
