Default WQ needs new tyres

Hi all,

Looking at replacing the tyres on our Fiesta. Still on it's original Bridgestone
Turanza's after 46500 kms.
Was looking at replacing with another set of Turanzas, but read some good reports about Kumho Ku31 which are a fair bit cheaper. Looking for some input.


Regards,

Rob

Ku31's are an excellent tyre for the money and I would recommend them. They have been successful on the other car we own.

Hi,

Went to see my local Goodyear Autocare. They have a 4 tyres, pay 3 deal on. He advised to get Goodyear Assurance tyres for $435 fitted. This deal sounds good to me. Any thoughts about this tyre?.

Regards,

Rob
