And no, not tesco own brand

Need two 185/55/15 soon for the front of the clio, doing 2000 miles a month at the very least so could do with something quite firm, as in no proxies, soft as shit things

Heard a few good things about Khumo KU31s? They are £41 on camskill.

The 452's Doug mentioned are bloody good for the money, loads of people on Pistonheads raves about them, and a mates got them on his Golf and they're very good. I'd have them over my Avon ZZ3's when it comes to replacing.

That would be a problem if he had a puncture or one wore badly and needed replaced unless he wanted to have mismatched tyres on the front. Something to take into consideration if their not making them anymore

Bought the Khumos in that size for the missus Clio. They are fine for it.

Wanli's? Dear god they're shite. Had 1 on the Punto when I got it. Could feel just the 1 tyre losing grip against the nearly bald Pirelli P Zero.

TBH when I first had them fitted they were shocking. They took about a 500-750 miles to bed in but now I am pretty impressed!

Camskill are the cheapest supplier for them. I got 2x 245/40/18's for £100.63 each!
