Tyres

[Sohlman]

For my summer set I ordered 2 Michelin super sports 245/35/19's from Openeo. £151 each

When ordered it said 48 hrs, but took 2 weeks and a number of emails. Apperently they got stuck in Calais and then lorry got hijacked and tyres set on fire. Be that as it may, but I had a delay, which I was not pleased with and had I not contacted would not have been called. When I threatened to cancel order and get refund the tyres turned up the next day.

Ah, so we can blame you for Calais being closed in the summer due to burning tyres on the roads?

I use oponeo or camskill and I get the Bridgestone S001 tyres.

A set of 20's come in at £520.

I had MPSS on the Astra J VXR and I may go to these tyres next.

Just about to buy some Kumho KU39's as no-one has contisportcontact 5ps in stock. Seem to get some good reviews and only need to last 2.5k miles through Europe from saturday...

They worked fine on the front of our VXR8, and on the rear of LeeSt's Bathurst - both in 19" sizes though.

Only time push it is on roads I know so 2200miles through Europe will be mainly on cruise control so no dramas there. I do rate Kumhos tbh, falkens likewise. Better wet and eco rating than the big name players as well!

Current tyres are KU39s, no issues at all cant remember what mileage I put them on but Ive had them for bloody ages and they do get a beating.

I would of had them again but couldnt find the rear wheel size anywhere so decided to go for the FK453's, these will be fitted next week, although I had to fit one today as I got a puncture on one of my rears !!!!!

I havent heasrd anyone having issues with the FK453's so will see how they go.
