Kumho revisited

[Suxelis]

Dear all,

 

Anyone with recent experience on Kuhmo tires? Noise? Grip? Ride?

 

Thanks in advance..

[Furrynadz]

pls search and dun keep startin new thread

[Suxelis]

Already read all previous threads. Hence subject wording. There might me new models, older models with more accumulated miles etc.

 

Thanks,

[Landex]

only got experience wif Kumon education centre..

 

[Furrynadz]

nothing much

KU31 period...unless u want live with the lousier models

Stay away from Kumho 712, horrible wet grip. KU31 offers decent wet grip but for the price there are better tyres out there. Kumho MX is a gd tyre but I don't think the local brought it in

[Willkhc]

was wondering when to change new tyres. Judge by milleage or age of the tyres?

[Nhrisuzu]

for me.. i judge by amount of thread left.. around 70% remaining will be a good time to change..

[Abba]

The heat & humidity in our climate kills the rubber. I change my tyres every 15-18 mths regardless how much thread is left as you may loose grip in wet suddenly when the rubber has hardened.

Kumho sounds like Come-home

[Threadman]

Used Ku31 or Ecsta SPT, overall performance was very good. Quiet yet Grippy. Recently, saw some of the drifters from Imperical Concepts use KU31s as well.

[Ahbengdriver]

pardon me but Kumho made in where? Price wise how do these 2 kumho models fair agst say Toyo T1R or Hankook Ventus Sports K104?

[Suxelis]

Kumho's significantly less costly than T1R. Very impressed with them on quietness, but that was older model. SPT seems to get good reviews too.

[Subutai]

By any chance do you know how much the Ecsta MX or SPT cost?

[Kyousuke]

I'm using Kumho SPT. Very good dry grip and decent wet grip.

 

There are definitely better rubbers out there. But from a price vs performance standpoint, It is quite good.

[Ahbengdriver]

Quiet boh KUMHO ?

[Julian]

Last time almost all Hyundai from mid to late 90s comes with Kumho or sometimes Hankook tyres which are said to be not so grippy and not so comfortable. I remember my dad's 1991 Elantra comes with Michelin, so much better.
