i have kuhmo supras(195 45 16) and they suck for traction. SUCK I had dunlop w10's, they were ok, but lasted like 15k miles. thats my input
I have had both, and can honestly say that I will not buy the Kumho's again. There is nothing wrong with them, but they are definately not what I would classifiy as a "performance" tire. They have a very nice, and have a quiet and comfortable ride. They just don't stick like a good performance tire should .
Kumhos are awesome! I had them on my civic and Ive hit at least 160 in that car! They are very comfortable and they handle very well.
Over the last few days have had to panic stop twice, and I have to say that I'm very un-impressed by the dry stopping ability of these tires; I expected much better. Have been seeing a bunch more ABS use since these tires too .. for the money, they're not bad, but my money is going to Dunlop next time around ..
As for the Kuhmo 712 it is a great, cheap tire for dry and rain conditions but in the bigger sizes that I have experience with (i.e. 225/45ZR17) they stunk in the snow.
I got my first kumho after having goodyear euro t/a's (which bl*w) OMG was I impressed with Kumhos
I have 17" Kuhmo 712's and they are freakin awesome....
I've got the Ecsta Supra 712's (15") and they seem OK. Maybe because I don't have much experience with different types of tires, but they seem to slide a bit on hard turns. They also wear fairly quick.
The Kuhmos are quiter and grip better than the Toyo Proxes.
It's been raining non stop since yesterday and here are my first impression on the Kuhmos: * They are very quiet on wet roads and expressways. * Off the line are way grippier than the Proxes. Under hard take offs in wet roads the Proxes spun a lot more than these Kuhmos. * The Kuhmos grip better on wet curves, tracking is excellent.
