Kuhmo ecstra le sport KU39

Post by jaykay192 » Sun Jun 26, 2016 3:22 pm

Hi all,
I know their have been many treads on tyres and that michelin and vredestein tyres are a good choice. But I need a new set of front which have Bridgestone potenza run flats on at the moment and are tramming like mad.
I was thinking of putting Kuhmo ecstra le sport KU39 on the front; only because the rears are currently have them on when I bought the car, does anyone know if they are good (last) and if they tram at all?
Cheers

I just got them put to the car last week to get rid of the those awful bridgestone run flats :fuelfire:. Wow what a change, the car not trying to kill me when tramming. I use to get vicious snap from the tramming on bad roads. Anyway, seem great so far and in the wet, and for £60 each good price :driving:
