Peugeot 306 HDI Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Cooper CS2 given 89% (185-65-14-T)
Driving on a combination of roads for 240000 average miles
Fitted these on my Peugeot 306 2.0 hdi bought the car used and had to change all 4 tyres shortly after, it cost around £40 a corner so quite good value.
The difference was noticeable straight away noise levels dropped considerably , braking improved and grip noticeably improved in both wet & dry. I've done just over 20,000 miles and still have over 3mm tread on the front and 5mm on the rear so got a few thousand miles of wear left after I rotate them. I will definitely be replacing them with Coopers when the time comes and would (and have) recommend them to friends and family.

Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 spirited miles
Seems to be a fairly good budget tyre, I only have one fitted, but it's on the front driver's side. Been using it for a year and a half, 10000 miles, and it seems fine. Havent noticed anything bad, it seems to be wearing quite well and the compound doesnt seem too hard.

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU31 given 71% (195-55-15-V)

Nice grip in the dry but what most of the reviews hear seem to omit is that these tyres have very soft sidewalls. This is good for comfort but it makes steering less precise and there's less road feedback. I have to say for this reason I'm a bit disappointed with this purchase. They feel stodgy and lethargic, and I suspect their rolling resistance will be higher than average - not good for fuel consumption.

Dont buy unless you live in a country where there is no rain, you will regret buying these if you need to do some heavy braking in the rain

Writing about the Falken ZE912 given 46% (205-50-15-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Been an advocate of Falken for a few years having had 502's 512's then 912's. Not impressed with the 912's. Even so that I had my mate put it up on the ramp and then put the car into gear on a jack to see the results. Tyres wobble out of round and side to side. Contacted Falken who don't agree even though production has gone from Japan to an other not so good production place. Won't buy Falkens again.
