So you guys get through 5 sets of tyres in same time as me? That's a lot of money!

That's at least 1.5k 

Interesting driving approaches by you both. One performance is almost everything, the other economy is all. Totally different needs from your tyres for both of you, yet seem to be considering the exact same tyre.  :-/

Kumo's in budget, I no longer do 500 miles a week, so wear rate not an issue any more.

When I find my missing 4 pots and get 8, i'll get some decent boots  8-)

Yeah but you see my point? Your paying for grip you don't need... Although the tyre that spring to mind  for you ain't cheap....

But I reckon tunnie could get 25k from a set of ZZ3s, because he wouldn't overdrive them, and he certainly wouldn't mind the lack of grip.  In fact, I reckon he could get decent mileage out of any tyre  :-/


As he can get KU31 in his size, they are cheap, and it matters not to tunnie than they give little feedback.....

He could probably make primacy last the life of the car from new, and given they where oe fitment, I believe, means he may never have needed tyres at all. Ever!

Kumo's came out at around same price as Falkens, around £80 a corner i think in the size I need.

80 to 90% of my miles are still motorway, so a nice quite tyre like Falkens suit me. But i've also had these for a couple of years now, so time for a change
