I don't think they've changed at all from the old ones, so they don't seem all that great to me.

5/5

Kumho Ecsta HS51

A difference in both the grip and smoothness of the ride is evident.

5/5

Performing well in most weather conditions is what these tyres are designed for. They are not suitable for freezing temperatures and snow conditions. They handle corners and braking efficiently in dry and very wet conditions, and they last really well too.

As priced, expected.

5/5

The tyres are doing well. Previous tyres lasted for 36,000 miles, the longest I've had, and so they are great value for money.

The road grip is excellent and noise is very low.

195/45 R15 Size Guide

195/45 R15 is a small, low profile 15-inch car tyre. These numbers are easy to read. The first number, 195, is the width in millimetres. The second number, 45, is the sidewall height as a percentage of the width, so in this case, sidewall height is 88mm. R15 shows it is a radial, 15-inch tyre, and the overall diameter is 556mm. The low profile means it's a stiffer tyre giving a firmer ride as there is less rubber between the road and the wheel. 195/45 R15 is available on Tyres.co.uk.
