SEAT Leon FR 2.0 TFSI Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Kumho Ecsta KU39 given 83% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 300 spirited miles
Well, I have had these tyres on for about 300 miles so far and they are just getting scrubbed in. I suspect the reviewer below in the Fabia has not worn the tyres in enough at 100 miles. For the first 300 miles mine were pretty average, but now all the mould release agents etc have come off and the tyres are worn in a little I'm impressed.
Dry grip is on a par with the Pirelli P zero Rosso I had on before, but wet grip is far far better. Noise is down compared to the Pirelli and they seem a more comfortable tyre. The car certainly feels more planted on the road than previous
In regards for value for money, they are amazing at £83 a corner fitted from black circles, compared to £120 a corner for the Pzeros.

Writing about the Pirelli PZero Rosso given 57% (225-45-17-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 spirited miles
These are the stock tyre on a SEAT Leon FR TFSI and to be honest, I never really expect that much from stock tyres since they're generally decided upon by what corporate deal the manufacturers can strike rather than whether it's a good tyre or not.

In the case of the Rossos, this is also true. They're not an awful tyre by any means, in the dry they're fairly reasonable but wet grip isn't very good (takes an age to get heat into them) and for the price, there are much, much better tyres out there.

If you really must have a set then they'll be fine, but honestly, you'll be far better of with a set of Eagle F1s, Conti Sport Contact 3s or Bridgestone RE050As... alternatively, get a set of Kumho KU31s which will walk all over the Pirellis and pretty much match the others but for a 2/3rds the price!

Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 average miles
I cannot actually find Runway Enduro tyres on the list! but had to choose something so chose wanli! Sorry. I was recommended these by a garage saying they were mid range. They are terrible, the road noise is excessive and the tread pattern is such that half of the rubber has been cut away. There seems little rubber that is in contact with the road.
They are made in china and i recommend that you do not buy them!.
