Khumo ku39 225/45/17 91y on my v70 have only done 10k and are now slicks so having to bite the bullet and replace. looking at either bridgestone potenza sport s001 or continental sport contact 3 or toyo proxes cf1 their all about the same price but anyone out there used these and what do you think of them. i dont drive hard and use mostly side roads except on holiday when towing the caravan for the 2 weeks! thanks in advance

Moving from Semperit to Conti Premium Contact on 205/16 I had rubbing where I had none before. They seem to have more of a rim protector than others. I get closer to 30k. Which version of 'don't drive hard' are you using ?

Tyres are shortchanging you I think. In a moment of weakness I put two Koromans on the other car and compared to the Uniroyals they are dissolving in front of me. Won't get half the life. What speed rating you running ? Every time I change the choice is restricted pushing me up , all V now. Expect starting on a second alphabet next time. ooops it's Y - read the question duh!
