Khumo KU31 225/55/17's. After only a few thousand miles, mainly Motorway less than half laden at average legal speeds, all 4 tyres have gone noisy. to the extent, with 5mm on rear and 7mm on front, my garage thought the rear wheel bearings needed replacing. When commencing the work, they noticed a "feathering" of the tread block, that was causing the noise. Maybe on a normal car, this might not be noticeable, but I bought these because they have a reputation for less road noise! Money I saved on wheel bearings will now be spent on 4 new tyres, only weeks after I forked out £400 for these! other than that, they are a good tyre - value for money. Clive Parker-Hinder

Wanted a 215/50-17" tyre for Toyoto Avensis Verso. Overall happy & tyre is still comfortable even though a 50 series (versus original 205/65-15) But I expect to get at least 15k'km less than the standard Michelins.
