I had Kumhos on my MPS and I found them very good. They wore quickly though but that's what happens with a sticky tyre especially with 4WD.

I have them on the wife's Audi and find them fantastic and wear very well. I think it's KU39 Sport is the type, anything else like Pirelli was only lasting 16k kms on the front..

The ones I had were Ecsta SPT

I had Ecstas on my Brava 18 years ago

I remember having Junyus on all 4 corners of my 5-series

They seemed to be new on the car before I got it and in two years I couldn't wear the bastarding things off no matter how hard I rode the bollox of them

Made for very slippery driving even in the dry !!!!
Going around corners arseways and all sorts ! Great craic

Sold the car over 2 and a half years later and they still had loads of meat on them. I think they just did it to annoy me !!!

Current car came with 4 Goodyear efficient grips and I had to replace the front two because they were cracked badly etc and causing a wobble but the back 2 are perfect so I put 2 brand new Goodyear's back on it ! Same effeciant grips, not cheap but happy out !

That's true, I wouldn't be into any of the budget budget tyres like Linglongs or Happygallops .....

I thought you made happygallops up! Just googled it for the craic and the first result was an eBay listing for part worn happygallops

What car is it?

Dealers are stock piling and VRTing their high Nox emitting cars like Golfs, Focuses, Qashquais etc ahead of Jan 1, where they will then cost 1000's more.

CHR Luna Sport. Trading in a very good Yeti 1.2T with tiny mileage.

Had Grenlanders on the RX. Still haven't gotten the smell of ****e out of the seats from them. Had more arse-leading-the-front incidents in 4 weeks than I did in the previous 4 years. The car lurched violently when you stood on the brakes where one bit and the other slid

Swapped back to Hankooks and the difference is appreciable. For one thing the Hankooks actually balance rotationally - even with a slab of lead on the wheels the grenlanders vibrated.

I retro fitted cruise control in my car today. It is a very sophisticated setup. Total cost €000,000,000.00

It's an adjustable handle off a mop.

Have you anything to back this news up?
Roughly how many would an average garage be registering ahead of January?

According to financially sensitive information and financial prudence as what dealer wants a UK registered Focus on 1st Jan that'll have a 2700 euro "fine" on top of VRT. If they register it ahead of time, they'll save 100's and still have a car that will sell. Also VRT dates are booked up for next 2 months

In other news, which one of ye have taken my advice to import UK Dacia Sandero Access (no radio or no nothing)

Hi Colm,

Yes, that is correct.

Thank you!

It wasn’t clear! I know my own car would be another €1750 come January.

I just can't believe there hasn't been uproar over it..........or is it just another case of the Irish motorist bending over and accepting anything that's given to them!

The Irish motorist looking for a 5 year old diesel car will be left with over priced bog standard junk, as they'll be barred from going to UK to find nicer spec, better minded cars!
