Just get something cheap then if that's what you want. Unless it's an XE Corsa or something, in which case it'll make it look like a half hearted job

Nexen are American, I think?

Considering how hard the compound is, they give a surprising amount of grip. Tested on an MR2 Turbo.
I've seen some stateside M3 owners use them on their 500+bhp supercharged monsters too.

Can't be that bad.

Was running the Kumho Sport KU31's on my Focus RS after being recommended them by a friend who races in the Fiesta Championship. I must say they performed on road and track, much better than the ContiSport 3's at almost 3x the price. Great tyres, got them for my new car too!

I had Kumho KU31 on the back of my M3 & they were pretty good.

Told my old man to get some to replace the fronts on his Audi A4 & they were good to start with but after 6k miles they had lost their grip & come MOT one had a bulge in it & the other feathering on the outside & hes a very soft driver.

Ive heard there good on RWD cars but not so good on FWD??
