Regards, Norma

It seems you have had a good run with the Kumho tyres and enjoy the performance. For this reason you might want to stick with these tyres. If you would like to consider other tyres you need to ensure the load and speed ratings are correct for the vehicle. You could consider the Bridgestone Turanza ER33 or Firestone TZ700 tyres as alternatives.

Dear Donavan,
Thank you for your advice this is to advise that I decided to purchase 4 new Kumho 215/60 R16 Solus but with the KH17. at a very good price all fitted etc.Over the weekend travelled 143 Kms to Waikanae and are very Happy with them. As the spare had never been out since 2006 I hope you think it would still get me home if the AA changed it for me roadside. Regards, Norma. P.S. I am struggling with the present AA. Ask Jack system,
