What tyres for an ix20?

Like many other readers I have been attracted to the Hyundai ix20 1.2 by your favourable comments. It drives really well and is more responsive than I expected, thanks for pushing me in an unexpected direction.

The car is fitted with Kumho Solus tyres. I've never heard of them (the car handles well on them), are they a well known brand? When the time comes round for new tyres what would you recommend?

It's a Korean brand. Replace them with Michelin Energy Savers when the time comes.
