They have been completely invisible on the road but it does seem they are trying to sell them here.

Take a peek at the rubber on the car in the website - Michelins, not Hankooks. I think there is something in that for all of us.

You would think they would shod them with Pirelli tyres in Italy - It's an excellent looking web site. Hyundai UK could learn from that

Our time in the UK was like that: Calais and its many Carrefour-type outlets on its doorstep and every time we went down to Sainsbury's we'd say "The UK could learn from that!" :crazy1:

I like my Nexens. I've found them to be much much better than the Hankooks on my previous i30.

Aren't the first two Spanish? And there is no  Leclerc in Calais.

Calais area  has two Carrefour, Auchan, three Lidl, Aldi, Leader Price, Intermarché,

And we often went to Eroski in many places in Spain - an impressive Basque business success. :goodjob:
