No in a nutshell to be honest you'd not notice a difference between A and E under normal driving conditions/style?
Only emergency braking performance would be my concern?

Ah OK. Well as long as I'm right in thinking that those HS52's are not XL, I think I might for those B rated ones.No in a nutshell to be honest you'd not notice a difference between A and E under normal driving conditions/style?
B rated more than enough for a normal Fiat 500 driven normally, haven't bought tyres for a while prices seem to have gone nuts?Ah OK. Well as long as I'm right in thinking that those HS52's are not XL, I think I might for those B rated ones.
I've never bought them before, this is my first car. I'd say it seems like a lot but I spent £70 on two tyres for a mountain bike once so I can't talk!B rated more than enough for a normal Fiat 500 driven normally, haven't bought tyres for a while prices seem to have gone nuts?
You have 4 small patches attaching you to the road ultimately you go for safety?I've never bought them before, this is my first car. I'd say it seems like a lot but I spent £70 on two tyres for a mountain bike once so I can't talk!
The EU label records only wet braking distance as the measure. So an A will pull up a little more quickly than a B in extremis.Funnily enough I was looking at Asda too.
Who knew Asda did tyres?

I saw the Kumho Ecsta HS52 has 2 none XL and one XL. The two non XL are a £68 B rated wet and an £80 A rated wet. I was thinking for an extra £12 per tyre, is the higher rating worth it? I know know much about these ratings. Would I notice a difference in A over B?
If you think thats bad wait until your insurance renewal comes up!!!B rated more than enough for a normal Fiat 500 driven normally, haven't bought tyres for a while prices seem to have gone nuts?
You might be involved in an 'at fault' collision with one.what the F**ks that got to do with us driving 1.2 500,s
Aaah, I didn't realise that the all weather ones had properties that made them better in the cold. Thank you for pointing that out.The EU label records only wet braking distance as the measure. So an A will pull up a little more quickly than a B in extremis.
Bear in mind that all seasons tyres will murder both of those in cold weather with damp that's typical of most winter months. It does that by maintaining its pliancy in cold conditions which helps to maximise grip.
Just be aware that there are downsides to all weather tyres; they'll wear faster, use more fuel, likely be noisier, and summer tyres will outperform them in dry warmer weather.I didn't realise that the all weather ones had properties that made them better in the cold
They don't wear faster in my hands. The noise is measured on the standard scale and is therefore comparable with summers. They really are much much better than the tyres of even a very few years ago when they were a real compromise.Just be aware that there are downsides to all weather tyres; they'll wear faster, use more fuel, and likely be noisier.
Like most things, there's no single solution that's best for all conditions.
Yeah I remember being told the same on my motorbike and assumed it would be similar on a car.Just be aware that there are downsides to all weather tyres; they'll wear faster, use more fuel, and likely be noisier.

Thank you. I think I'll go for Kumhos and I'll stick with the all weather solus over the summer ecsta.Nexen are reasonably well known now. Never heard of the other brand.
Nexen a mid-lowish performer based on tests:
Nexen N Blue 4 Season
Will the Nexen N Blue 4 Season suit your car? Find the best tyre for your car read 21 reviews for the Nexen N Blue 4 Season and compare to other All Season tyres at tyre reviewswww.tyrereviews.com
I'd favour the Kumhos over either.
Yes, don't overthink this.Thank you. I think I'll go for Kumhos and I'll stick with the all weather solus over the summer ecsta.
Good point well made! still a bleeding **** take though!You might be involved in an 'at fault' collision with one.
Any damage involving the battery pack seems to write them off. Doesn't exactly help the environmental case for switching.
More EV's on the road means the average cost of a crash goes up.
The previous model had some dreadful reviews for wet weather performance. Some have said that the current ones are better, but it's not a brand I'd choose personally.I was put off khumo many years ago, dreadful in the wet.
1) Avoid cheap places that just deliver tyres and then you have to get them fitted yourself... finding the someone to fit them yourself is a PITA and they charge you a tenner a wheel minimum, plus the old tyre disposal, plus nitrogen gas etc., so you have to add about £60 to the price for 4 tyres.
