Kumho Ecsta SPT KU31 - 235/45 R17 97 W - from the Kumho website.

Maxxis MA-Z1 - 235/45R17 97 W (and Y rating as well) - from the Maxxis website.

I have run the Maxxis and the Kumho ... and both are excellent well priced entry-mid level performance tyres ... both can kinda get noisy nearing end of life (or if balance/alignment is not kept up).

Wet grip for both is excellent.

I cant think of ANY Roadworthy tester these days that would dream of providing a roady on a dodgy car purely because of the Fines VicRoads hit them with.

And if the RWC has expired (30 days from date of issue) then its a he said she said argument which you will lose as the photos are date coded and marked to show the condition of the rubber, discs etc.

My MA was RWC'd by a Ford dealer and being the suspicious type I did a RWC check myself and the car came up fine although marginal on the rear tyres which were roadworthy but not good enough for my liking.

So a set of Kenda's were fitted at $120 each to make me happy.

Im thinking the seller pulled a shifty or maybe a relly of the seller but still the words Buyer Beware apply and an RACV check should have been bought before sale.

As for VCAT? Good luck.
