    It may just be the upgrade from a 20Yo FWD car with no safety features but it sure feels great to have the tig in the weather are having up here.
    I can only assume the bad reviews i have heard for the kumho's were a bad batch because mine are performing perfectly.

    You'll have a blast with the wheels/tyres on.

    How many km's have you done on the Kumho tyres? And how they wear out?
    After 43,000km's on Hankook tyres (RA23, the same as on our Tig), I booked in my T5 for a new tyres on Thursday, and Bob Jane could get me only Kumho, they don't have Hankook anywhere in OZ.

    So far i've racked up 2500km on them and i haven't been babying them.
    No visible wear as yet which is a big plus.

    I would reccomend the kumho's for anyone who wants decent performance with a cheaper price point

    I've found the Kumhos to be excellent, done about 17000 on them now and probably about 50% worn, not fantastic mileage but I drive pretty hard

    Forever blowing bubbles.

    I am expecting around 35K out of my set.
    Not bad for the cost, but for performance and cheap pricing point, i expected a bit shorter life than a harder compound tyre.

    Happy to have them on though!

    Didn't really know which thread to ask this question in and didn't think it was worthy of starting a new thread...anyway.......

    Does anyone know if Tiggy has a rev limiter?

    Also, whacked on the Nanolex sealant last weekend. Very very happy with it indeed. Car repels dust like nothing I've ever seen. Rain coming this weekend so will be interesting to see how well it repels the water (and road dirt) as well.
