    Kumho KU39

    Anyone got any experiences with these? MOT last week and the Hankook V12s on the front are wearing a little thin on the inner edges. My local guy recommended the Kumho's as a worthy replacement. We went through the official tyre ratings and they seem to get better ratings than the Hankooks...

    In need of a fancy socket.....

    .....But do they exist? I need to remove the top mount centre nut after fitting the KWs to drop a washer in there to stop it from knocking. However. The 200 has the new top mount design and the hole is so small there isn't clearance for a swan necked spanner. What I need is a 18mm socket...

    KW V3s

    Got the V3s fitted Saturday but want to clarify a few things. When cold the front knocks over bumps the first few times...could this be needing the washer under the top mount nut like i've read before? Also The rear shock top mounts. The instructions say to drill the bush out to 10mm. I...
