Tires Continental or Kumho

I have a GLS v6 tip with Kumho 7400series snow tires. I'm very happy with them. No problems what so ever

Precisely the reason why I looked for the Conti's on my quiet, silky smooth ride new car. Until I ride in someone's car with better ones, I'm happy.

my new car, the white love wagon II , came with the conti's but I haven't even begun to break them in, or the engine for that matter with less that 200 mi on the car......but in my first impression the conti's seem quieter that the mxv4 pluses......

Another case of 'ignorance is bliss' perhaps, but I'm favorably impressed with my Conti's (8600 miles since new on 9/11) for quietness, ride, and traction (wet/snow).

I think the Contis get bashed because they look skimpy and performance leans towards comfort and quiet. I have driven 4000 miles in various conditions and can't complain. They've never squealed, skidded, growled or aquaplaned and they give a silky smooth ride.

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.

I have Continental Viking Stop 4000 on 15\" steelies; Yup, there's studs in it

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'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.

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
