Learned my lesson with budget tyres

Post by callum929 »

Since I have owned car (4years) I have always used budget tyres considering even they are nearly £100 a corner (235/35/19)

never had a big issue but 3 months ago I got two new budgets called enduro and yesterday when it was wet on ground it was like driving on ice, less than 10mph round a roundabout and I ended up facing the other way so ended up going for Kumho Ecsta Le Sports as they have really good reviews and an A rating in wet.

Just want to warn maybe the small few that do use budgets that they aren't worth it. I know a few budgets I have had have been alright but i certainly wont be taking the risk again.
