I know this topic is covered many a time, but people choices and opinions change with time.

I am looking to get the nasty horrible run flats taken off Mabel.

I am looking at Kuhmo Ecsta LE Sports as i had these on my R53 and loved them, but was wondering what your all using and loving.

Also could i increase the side profile on the tyres and not really effect the speedo etc. Currently they are 225/40 R19.

I have Rain Sport 3's on my car too and agree with what Craig has said, in the wet the grip is unreal!

I have had 4 sets of Yokohama Parada Spec 2s now and love then, brilliant in the dry and still good in the wet, don't wear as quickly as you'd think, I've done about 10000 miles on my current set and they still have loads of life yet. Plus, I love their tread pattern. They do however have soft side walls so move around a little.

Just put these Kuhmo's on the R50 after a decade of runflats.

In a word ......... brilliant :thumbs up:

When I get the 18" Hamann's refurbed these will also be the tyre of choice :yes nod:
