Tires Kumho or DUNLOP

I like my Kumho's 205/45/16's, I have about 15,000 mi. on them, still alot of meat. There 2 yrs. old still looks new. They cost me $125 per tire.

just imagine the time if those ****ty dunlop all sesasons were replaced with a decent michelin pilot a/s, bf goodrich g force kdw, or continental extreme contact dws. guaranteee that time would drop by another half second or so.

I just got rid of my Falken 512s. They were not good (loud, hard, wore out fast), but for that price pretty much nothing is. I ended up going with Kumho ASX's and I'm pretty happy with them. They have a 30k mile warranty and ride much better than the Falken 512s, are quieter, and offer just as much grip. I think they run around $110/tire.

Personally I had Kumhos before and they were pretty good, I had no issues.

I have some decent Kumhos on mine (used to have Gislaved Nordfrost 5 on my MKIV, but they wore very quickly) and my Golf is perfectly fine in the snow.

Good news: the breaks/tires worked GREAT for stopping quickly for an accident in front of me.

Got Kumho ECSTA 4X installed on my wagon almost 2 months ago. 235/40/18 95XL. They replaced the good year eagle GT's. About 2k miles on them now, they are quiet and softer riding then the good year, but doesn't grip as well on dry road. (i.e. with the good year, I could not get the front tires to spin from a dead stop even if I floor it, with the kumho, they spin for a fraction of a second before the 4motion kicks in) haven't had rain so don't know how they handle in wet. But they are definitely more comfortable than the good year.

I had 245/40-17's Kumho MX's on my WRX and they were okay, but didn't have the ultimate grip of the Falkens.

Got the tire just after thanksgiving has less that 1500 miles. Hit nothing blew out on a highway going 70.

The OEM Dunlops on my 12 GLI suck in the wet and I'm sure they would be worse in the snow.
