Mercedes Benz C180 Classic Sedan Tyres

Fantastic all-round summer tyre. Simple as that, the quality and durability to easily rival the 'best' tyres on the market.

Currently fitted on the front my '97 Mercedes C180, outstanding grip on wet roads, even better on dry roads.

Only done 1000kms' on them but already they are worthy of a review, there has been not too much wear considering they are of such a soft compound but suit a heavier car such as my Mercedes perfectly, smooth and quiet on the freeway and grippy and responsive on the quiet backroads where you can really test them out.

Certainly won't be buying Continental or Pirelli again, there is no need, these Kumhos' do a much better a job at half the price.

Now, i'm 17 so i can't really give a full analysis on these tires but from when i bought my car i've only a few thousand miles and the tires have worn so fast, but they're a fairly soft compound and its a heavy car that i really like to 'drive,' so its to be expected.

However, they are pretty grippy in the dry, you can feel it stick going around roundabouts and they feel alright at speed. They are however noisy and on the few occasions that in rains in Western Australia, they feel unresponsive and you can feel a significant loss of traction.

I have a pair Continental Sport Comfort 2 tires on the back and can't fault them, they wear so much better, are so much quieter and you never hear tire squeal, if you've got a larger, heavier car like myself, id recommend those. I'll be buying a pair for the front because i'm not overly impressed by the pirellis' !
