Inspired by all the polls that have been cropping up recently and the evo trye test I though this might be fun!

am trying out some Kuhmo tyres shortly.....

You should have visited the grasshopper last time and went round and had a look.
Also could have done a secret survey of what seems popular, before arriving at your short list of 8.

I am now using Yokohama not on the list.

BTW EVO magazine has just done a tyre test. These are the rankings. I was pretty surprised: -

1. Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3
2. ContiSportContact
3. Toyo Proxes T1-S
4. Pirelli P7000
5. Michelin Pilot Sport
6. Dunlop SP sport 9000
7. Bridgestone S-03
8. Avon ZZ3.

Now I was really surprised by the performance and ranking of the S-03. Last time all tyre tests were done the S-02 shone above all the rest

Unless it was dry weather handling, where the Continentals shone.

Hi Tigger

Save yourself some money and don't buy those Khumo tyres.

I tried them and they were the worse tyres in the world.

I warned Rod Bell about them before he drove the car with them
on, he totally agreed

Cheers Tom.

DANGER DANGER THEY ARE CRAP
