    Was looking at these as I want to try and get fuel efficient

    The Michelin mentioned above are a B on fuel

    I know I bought Hankook before and someone told me it was a cheap brand. I thought it was one of the decent one....so what is a top of the range brand?

    Check out the amount of new cars that come factory fitted with Hankooks. They're not even a mid range tyre anymore. I'm on my 3rd set of the ventus primes (2&3's)

    Hankook is Korean and is often fitted to new Hyundais and Kias.

    OE fitment for Beemer's and Mini's from their Hungarian factory. Not sure about Ford's but seen a couple of 192s with Hankooks locally

    I bought 4 Goodyear eagle f1s for my Audi this time last year... very good grip in both dry and wet.
    But the Best Tyres I ever owned were Michelin pilot sports.

    Have Michelin Pilot Sport 4S myself.
    Bit disappointed in the wear, but the reinforced sidewalls have certainly prevented a blowout

    Would never buy a cheap tyre. It can be the difference between life and death.

    Is it just me is it more difficult to find the Asymmetric 3 in stock now. And if I do for me them the asymmetric 5 are a mile cheaper? Any ideas if they're as good? Tyre size is 235 45 17

    I’ve has as2, then as3 and now a mix of as3 on rear and as5 on front and haven’t really noticed any difference. They are all very good. All on the same car too.
