The car's ride felt comfortable and the tires were very well connected to the road, grip levels high.
At 70 mph the planted feeling was going away but it did not feel unsafe.
and there is some tyre noise as you go towards the speed limit.
If you use the Motor-ways and duals a lot I think it is best to leave fitting till its 7c or below, town drivers will get longer use of this great tyre.

What a complete result, just brought four of these and can only say what a top top tyre, i was told by the fitter they are made by continental as a mid range budget tyre using basically all of conti's own materials and this turns out to be true, they grip in the wet and dry superbly they are silent and compare against the top brands, i can not recommend these enough.

just replaced the front pair of these tyres on a focus tdci estate, the ones coming off the car were not fully worn out but with a 3000 mile trip to france coming up didn't want to take a chance as i understand the french tread depth limit is higher than ours. anyway these tyres have been great for grip in both the wet and dry and coped pretty well with last winters snow. as regards wear the pair that came off the car had been on for 23000 miles and still had 3mm of tread depth left, i dont drive particularly slowly but tend to be smooth and anticipate the need to slow down to avoid unnecessary accelerarion/braking so feel that some of the comments on here re high wear rates are from people who need to take a close look at their driving styles. highly reccomend these tyres.

These tyres are truely spectacular! the wet grip is unbeatable and it really takes some to upset these even on full lock and acceleration!
The dry grip is stunning as I generated a constant of 0.94G! (Ford Focus Mk1)
Confidence is assured as progressiveness is smooth and predictable.
Feel is slightly less than previous tyres but this is due to relitively soft compound and deep tread.
turn in is sharp and bite is instant.
I do not have ESP or ABS but I drive somewhat aggressively and they have never let go! The rear end is now twitchy (fronts' only) as the car tends to allow for controlable lift-off oversteer
The car has never understeered (only on off-camber roads)
MAKE SURE TO BUY XL VERSION!

I bought two of these tyres after i had my car for a couple of months, i only had really cheap tyres on and so i put the new tyres on the front through the winter, 2 weeks ago i thought i would swap the as new falkens to the back so they could last a bit longer, so i must admit i bought these as i read all the good reviews about them, i think their the best rated tyres on this site, the grip in the summer is brilliant, i drive average but sometimes i do put my foot down and get the revs a bit high, im no nutter though, ive never actually wheel spun these wheels in summer or dry conditions, pulling off from maybe 4 - 6 k revs. so as my cheap tyres are on the front now, i never ever thought i would feel such a difference, im actually scared to go out driving when its wet with the cheap tyres on the front, cant pull away in more than 3 - 4 k revs without really spinning the wheels. car feels like it wants to go everywhere without the falkens on the front. the difference is just astronomical! im deffinitely getting these falkens again and actually i am really thinking of getting them on the front asap! check out value tyres . co . u k to get the best deals i have found, what you need to do is see if they have a branch near you that fit them, and go to them and tell them you can get these from camskill . co . uk for ?52.00 each and they will match the price for u, including delivery to them and fittment.

For the price, very good indeed.
What is often missed is that these are all seasons tyres and so should outperform standard tyres in the cold & wet.

Having prevously written here on the merits of the Khumo Ku31 I was trying to get a hold of a pair , however they seemed in short supply and prices have risen. A local tyre suggested I try the Nexen N8000. He had to get them in but still did a good deal. He said from his feedback the tyres are not asw long lasting but would outperform the Ku31 being a new level of performance tyre from Nexen since input from Michelin. I only gently abused the tyres for the first hundred miles but then an opportunity for a back road blast. The Nexen provide a higher feeling of stability and greater levels of grip during tight corners. At motorway speeds the noise levels are generally lower than Ku31`s . I cannot yet comment on wet performance but the wide grooves would suggest a good performance and I will have to see about the durability. Since purchasing these tyres I have heard that Khumo are having funding issues with the Korean government ,so I`m hoping the Nexen live up to the favourable impression I currently have.

Had two fitted to my mk1 focus. Amasing grip in the wet, performed way better than the old Eagle F1s fitted. As said take a few minutes to warm up and they settle down but they're an amazing tyre. And with CamSkill selling these at ?60 they're a bragain! Deffinately buy again and recommend to anyone!

Even in wet conditions, no wheelspin and they give me a safe feeling.
They are even more quiet and more comfy.
