i see siad the blind man.....

i actully find that test a bit weird cos ive seen them do a test of the advan neovas, goodyear eagles, BF goodrich T/A kd and kumhos ku15

the neovas won, the kumhos 2nd, BF goodrich and then the good years, but in the new test they say the kumhos are quit crap

Yep, C.Drives and the Maxxis Victras are what I'm considering at the moment. I use it for everyday driving and like to do some hard cornering sometimes

.

But like with all things safety related, it's always good to have the best safety factor/margin possible.

I finally replaced my tyres yesterday. I ended up getting the Michelin Pilot Preceda 2 in 205/45 ZR16 for $220 each.

I run C-Drive's on my Astra. Bang for buck they were the best. Cheaper then the Goodyear's I was looking at.

Dad is running C-Drive's on his KJ Hatch and Mum is running them on her Accord Euro.

Very Very nice tyre, grip awesome in the wet and in the dry and last quite well mileage wise.

Was a good Replacement for the A539's

pilot precedas are good, but wear badly on the edges and have not a long life....hence why i went the c.drives...my mate had pilots..then A539s and is now on c.drives...

how are the tyres doing? Were they worth the price?

I have to say that I love the tyres. Very sticky around corners. I managed to push the car to its limit around a corner and it understeered, but it felt composed throughout the slide and I could recover easily.

Well you lived to tell the tale, thats the main thing!
