Hi everyone,

 

Been out of the loop for a while disapearing up my own a

[Sher]

I bought these Falken Ziex ZE 512 215/55 R16 97V RF from mytyres and I was pleasantly surprised at how quieter + better handling I now have compared to the original Michelin Pilot MXM's.

Somhow they look better than the original with the extra rubber which is supposed to protect the wheel rim. Perhaps the sidewall is stiffer?

Too early to comment on wear.

 

I had always been very happy with Michelins on previous cars but had been less happy with them on the Galaxy because of their poor performance in very wet conditions (tend to aquaplane?), poor wear at around 35,000 per tyre and cost at around

I was looking through some 15 year old Car Magazines last night and saw a Michelin advert from the introduction of the Pilot MXM. It wasthe same tread pattern they are still using for the Galaxy, suggesting they are rather behind cutting edge technology.

I was trying to get Fortuna tyres from peterborough F1 but got these instead - quite pleased at the price and performance so far

I've heard some good reports about Kumho tyres.

 

I'll be looking for some more tyres in the near future, unfortunately mytyres don't have the Fortuna F2000 tyres at the moment... will keep an eye on the situation though, as they have been unavailable before, and would certainly buy them again.

 

They do have some other 215/55x16 XL/RFs at the cheaper end though, Sumo Firenza ST-08 (Singapore company, but not sure where the tyres are made) look quite interesting at
