It's a shame the 215's are nearly twice the price!

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 235/40/18 on my leon and love them and love the grip! Seem to be wearing ok, more grip than the Falkens but like you said they are a bit noisier. I'll be fitting winter tyres soon they really do make a difference especially in the snow! I was a doubter till I gave them a go and they really are very very good!

Don't forget to tell your insurance company. I bet most people don't know that they have to (insurance company dependent).

doens anyone who has 225/45 17" tyres bother with the extra load tyres? I think the sidewall on mine makes it look like the the tyres are flat so wonder if the extra load are worth a look
