Luke23 tdci Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I changed the Continental to kumo kh31 around £70 a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alkyz89 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 thanks for the links... very helpfull looks like im torn between the goodyear efficient grip performance and the Continental sport contact 5!! anyone used both?? the goodyear seem to have better fuel efficiency but not sure if it would look odd having the 2 front tyres different to the back. as it looks as though the continetal have more of a lip over the alloy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossbclarke123 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Personally I'd stick with the Continental, as you say keep them the same! Sent from my iPhone using Ford OC mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
higgsy Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Hankook ventus prime 2's about £90 per tyre fitted. I have them on the front and am about to buy 2 more for the back but I'm gonna rotate and put the new ones on the front. Good grip and quiet, good ratings too.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Ford OC mobile app AA and RAC both recommend putting the better tyres on the back (contrary to what I grew up being told).

higgsy Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I have always rotated, always preferred the new on the front, but I deffo understand the argument for new on the back, might just do that this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
