Kumho is my tyre of choice at the moment. 100 times better than hankook! I do like Falcons too.

How did you find the kumho's?
I had 225 45 17's on this year.
Have only done 15k and fronts are almost down to the wear indicator (even wear).
Quite a bit left on the rears, but not measured though.
I had always used kumhos in the past on other cars, but found them quite noisy on the 75.
Very good grip, but bit disappointed on the noise front.
Now changed to 215 55 16's, vredstein wintracs for the colder weather.

I have bought 2 sets from National Tyres on ebay, it's a good saving on what you pay in their depot.

I've had Falkens in the past, no problems. Got Avons now, I made a point of having a tread pattern I could move around from front to back and left to right.

At LoveTyres these work out at 49.88 each including delivery. My local place charges £20 to fit four tyres, so you're looking just shy of £220 for four fitted Goodyears. Can't be bad, that!

I haven't tried Falken so cannot comment on those but my experience is;
* cheap tyres currently on my 75= poor grip in wet.
* Dunlop OEM on my Merc c180 = poor grip wet and dry
* Avon ZV3 on my 240bhp rear wheel drive Lexus = fantastic wet and dry.
