mytyres charge 37.60 for the ecsta kumho one - so 39 fitted at bracknell tyres seems superb value! the second place I have found that are cheaper than mytyres. mytyres are darn good tho!

I didn't ask Bracknell about the Kumho's... the ones you talk about are the sport range of which I've heard good things about... i might have to get those... but to be honest i'm a bit of a tyre snob... so i might not?!?

Hmmmm as soon as see the word fuelsaver I think......Ajit_mk2_16v wrote:I've been quoted £45 all in for Firestone TZ200 Fuel Saver for 185/55/R14 which is the best so far. Thats from Martins Tyres off the M3, Surrey
- Very little tread in contact with the road (so less rolling resistance)
- very hard compound (ditto)
And to be honest apart from the crappy firestones that came free with a set of 13 inch alloys I've never found them any good at all
There is only five things holding you car on the road at any time
1. Gravity
4 x Tyres
To me gravity is a constant I can rely on it I want tyres that I can trust too

Toyo's (pro-xs)
Goodyear (F1)
Bridgestone (Sticky as summut)
Khumo (personal favorite when on a budget - don't like more than 100bhp according to Dubpolo)
Michelin (Pilots only - the rest are hard as nails)

After much thought it might be the Kumho's... as I say I'm snobish but there is a cut of point which is usually £££

I got a pair of Firestone TZ200 from Bracknell tyres.
The ride is now excellent, so much better than before.
However, my track rod end bolts have sized and need replacing in order to do the tracking
Is that a job i can do myself or is it a garage visit???
