Had to get new tyres, 4 Kuhmo KU31s being fitted Monday for a total of £170ish

They're only 195/50 15"

And I am devastated, I hate when it's tyre change time! Plus I don't even want to keep the car for that much longer anyway

Im sure fitting doesnt add another £40.

10 / corner to fit em, cheapest I could get at a place I actually trust enough to do it that isn't out of the way.

Personally ive never seen people change tyres based on how long they have been on the car.

'coz I needed new tyres pre-MOT

not really, good tyre the KU31.

Indeed, nothing ditch finder about the KU31 ... funnily the ditch finders (ie Chinese stuff) was only a £2-3 cheaper than the Kuhmos

Well, at least I picked the perfect time to get new tyres ... as I've just picked up a slow puncture on one of mine

no chance it can be repaired?

No point really as I have to get new tyres on Monday anyway since the old ones are BARELY legal

Kuhmo KU31s or Toyo T1Rs are probably the best bang per pound tyre for regularish cars atm.

Must say, I like the tyres after just getting them fitted, giving me a nice increase in grip over the junk that was on before.
Also like the improved cornering stability from downsizing the tyres a bit compared to stock
