Malcolm, Yeah I was thinking about that too, and realized I may have made a mistake ordering only 4, but .... kids school fees are the same as 5 sets of 4 tyres, so I might have to just settle for the 4 at the moment......
Thinus, yeah you know me. I have always been a Kumho fan. Please understand that I am not knocking anybodies business, I know Charlie ( Martyn ) for many many years, and have no issue with any other brand tyre. This is simply the tyre that I have wanted to try for a long time, and have been following the reviews for a long time too.
My reasoning is why pay nearly R5000 for a Good Year tyre that Looks absolutely wicked yet has on numerous occasions proven itself to not be that good/reliable on a good few Patrols. The Coopers are also amazing looking tyres, but one hears stories about those too, Thinus you were an avid BF tyre supporter, so like you say, each to there own desires.... haha.
I think brand names can sometimes not always be the best brands, Kumho is a well known brand name in various areas of motor sport, and for the private guy on the street, I feel this is a good tyre with a fair price tag. Will give those tyres a good run for their money, as I don't really mess around when I drive the Maiden.
So in a nutshell.... one must buy whatever one feels like buying, I just put it out there....
...the iron maiden with new fancy shoes coming up
