Got two of these fitted to the front of my car for just over £160 fully fitted. Previously had Pirelli P Zero Nero's and WOW what an improvement over the Pirelli's the Kumho's are! Grip is excellent in the wet and I've never had any feedback from the traction control when accelerating hard. Cornering feels secure and the tyres seems to just grip and grip no matter how hard you throw the car into the bend.
Started to wear after 15,000 which is just under the 18,000 I got from the Pirelli's but the Kumho's are £30 cheaper per tyre so balance out. The rim protection is also a bonus and very welcome protection for the Cupra alloys. The Pirelli's offered no such protection and minor contact with the curb resulted in a damaged wheel.
I'm planning to replace the rears to Kumho's as soon as they begin to wear. Highly recommended.

Bought for the track but will be be used to drive to the track as well ( apart from the ring where i'll swop wheels when i get there) Have done about 60 laps of oulton park in cold and wet conditions and although conditions were far from ideal they were slightly better than street tyres.
However ever once a dry line showed up (75%of track) the difference between the Kumho and a street tyre was like night and day!
This is my first venture into track tyres so cant compare them with other track tyres.

I've been using Rainsport 1's for over 20k miles and replaced them with Rainsport 2's when they came out. Overall I am very impressed with them and will continue to use them. The price has varied from ?58 to ?74 each (I've gone through about 8 RS1's and 6 RS2's) but that is still much cheaper than the 'Premium' brands. The car came with P Zeros which were pretty good but I would lose traction in the wet and dry if I floored it in 1st or 2nd gear. Same with Bridgestone Potenza RE040. The Rainsport 2's don't lose traction at all in 2nd gear unless it's very wet. They last the same number of miles as the P Zero and RE040 but give slightly more road noise. At that price I can live with the noise and turn the stereo up

Replaced my standard Pirelli P-Zero Nero's with these and they made a huge difference to the car's handling. Better grip in the wet, more responsive in the dry and SO much quieter. Would recommend these to anyone. At the fraction of the price of my old Pirelli's they've proven a great purchase, just got my second set fitted.
Only down side is the wear, they lasted just over 12,000 miles on the front compared to the 18,000 of the Pirelli's. But the pro's outweigh the con's...

Very good in the wet compared to previous tyres and make the whole feel of the car a lot safer. The tyres are also progressive in the dry and wet which is helpful. Biggest downside for my has been the increased road noise but you can't have everything!
