Tyres - what to go for?

[Altrezia]

What's a good choice of tyre for a Cooper S (R53 - 17") - I suppose, what is the best and also what is the best if budget conscious? Just road driving for 99% of the time.

on my 2013 FJCW I took fitted Kuhmo 039's a few months back.... work fantastic on the car and I really rate them now.

Firestone firehawk sz90 in runflat falvour are the cheapest good quality runflats you can get `IMHO.


If you are after non runflats, the world is your lobster

Went for the kumhos as they are super cheap.

I've found Parada Spec 2's suit the car really well. Not so good in the wet, although not as bad as some would have you believe.

But fantastic feel and balance.

I'll be switching the the Kumhos once my Michelins need changing. I've heard plenty of good things about them.

So, after a month in winter, what are the Kumho's like? I am looking to get the same

Just put them onto my wife's Cooper S - first impressions are that they're excellent

Very impressed for the money. Better than the Toyo t1r's on my Elise. Road noise is a bit loud but the whole car is loud so it's not really a problem. Good grip in wet and dry and nothing odd to report yet.

Would buy them again. :-)
