Tires Kumho or Firestone

I purchased a pair to throw on the rear of my BMW after roasting a set of Pilot Super Sports on the track. For street driving they are 99% of a PSS at 50% of the price. Highly recommended.

I have them on my Alltrack - 225/40/18 and absolutely love them. Better handling and quieter than the stock 17in Kumho tires

Yah, awesome tire so far. They feel very similar to a PSS to me.

I have them on my alltrack. 235/35/19....they are truly an amazing tire for the money. Couldn't be happier with them.

My setup is Firehawk Indy 500s on stock Austin wheels. 225/40/18s. In terms of performance, the tires have been about as good as I could expect on the road. Turn-in feel is excellent, road noise is subdued, and the comfort is good. There is still some wheelspin off the line, but for the price the tires are excellent.

Go with the Khumo. They’re a reputable brand. I’ve heard of some people having issues with the warranty. My personal first hand; they were a great performing tire. I rode mine hard though. So they only lasted about a year and half. It was the MT.

Kumho is a well known brand compared to the rest. I'd do kumho solus before any of them.

Since last time you saw it I upgraded the brakes to 312mm rotors with ATE 57 calipers in front and 256mm disk brakes in the rear and replaced the heavy Mercedes replica 18" wheels with BBS RK's in 8J 17 wrapped in sticky kumho KU-36 rubber.

I have those Kumhos and I am not a fan. They are quiet, but not nearly as sharp as the RE050s they replaced, but the car moved from Texas to Ohio and I had to have all-seasons. I have 50,000 on one pair and 20,000 on the other (blew out 2 sidewalls in winter potholes) and I am going to use them through the summer and then put something else on for next winter (even though there's still a lot of tread there), probably Continental DWS. They are inexpensive, last forever (if you stay out of potholes) but feel awfully soft on turnin. Not really bad, just not my thing.

I had a set of kumho's on my 08 GTI and they were terrible. Very expensive and terrible performance.
