tyres

I've got Kumho Ecsta KU31's alround in 215, had them over a year and no problems wet or dry, yes they did rub but I made up 10mm steering stops.

I used to run ZZ3's and are a decent all round tyre, however they are soft and wear quickly, and they aren't XL rated so for our cars on heavy cornering and track there is a lot of sidewall defection, a lot depends on how, and where you tend to use the car, you want the best tyre for the worst you can do, at the end of the day your tyres are one of the major factors that will determine that when that lorry slams on in front, or you slightly miss-judge a bend in the wet, whether you need you insurance or not

Personally I tend to change fronts at 3mm at least as below that wet traction is IMHO seriously compromised, and always replace fronts in pairs.

I have eagles all round and have found them pretty good and on the plus side the firm sent them out to France free of charge.I also think that they include free fitting in the UK.

As the man said, don't skimp on tyre price,its the only thing between you and the road!

Agreed , if I was in Montpellier, I would have a wider choice, and the roads are better quality, but I am not, and London roads are poor quality.

I wish I had left the standard springs on mine as well........

Now found that standard/HD springs, koni fsds, and 16" alloys are best in a place with lots of speed humps/potholes ......

Wise man and thanks for the headsup on the tyre.....I thought they were soft , but I suspect after 1-200 miles they are sweet on our roads....

Put C70 bump stops on ;-)

It will make the difference on rubbing ......
