I finally got around to changing Bluebirds tyres today. On the advice of the guy in the tyre centre I went for Kumho KU39 all round. These are new to me, but I will give them a chance.
Also put my new 20mm spacers on the rear and swapped my 15s to the front.
Also had the tracking/alignment checked and adjusted.
Had a quick test drive this afternoon, and early thoughts are positive. Bluebird was a lot nicer to drive with the same tyre on each corner.

Here are the rears

Just realised I should've washed the wheels after the test drive.
 
They sit bang on Philip. :thumbsup:
 
It'll be interesting to hear how they get on, growing up Kumho was always the cheapest option around, i would only get 10k out of a set on a runabout. Fingers crossed they upped their game ;)
 
The guy in the garage said they are a branded tyre now. Apparently they come as standard on some new Fords.

Yep I agree it looks good and never thought there was much room on the front for spacers :thumbsup:.
Can you post a pic of the whole car please to get an overall view ?.

Well worth doing Andy,I already have 20mm spacers on the rear but didn't think there was much room at all up front for them,but Phil has proved me wrong,in a good way.
 
Looking good Philip, they are the best looking wheels in my opinion, I must get some spacers for mine. :thumbsup:
 
Thats made my mind up, I have 15mm spacers on the rear and have been considering what you have done, going on ebay now to order a set as yours looks great, sod the service gods, I need some bling :D
