Tires Kumho or Maxxis

Just bought these as I was in the market. I like them. A little more firm of a ride but not terrible. Price was right and I am KUMHO fan and that is who makes these for Discount. In summary if money is an object, good value and I would recommend.

I just ordered a set of Maxxis RC1 because of bad feedback I heard about the Proxes R. I’ve run the RC1 for a while now and they’re a great track day tire. Super consistent through long sessions and over many heat cycles.

Kumho is a well built tire from Korea.

the Kumho TA51 (assuming TA51a as it is the current production) is a well reviewed and tested very low rolling resistance tire, thanks to a silica-enhanced tread compound. Most reviewers and owners over time generally note a small INCREASE in fuel economy of 1-3 MPG.

I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.

This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.

Nebenbei läuft hier noch ein Nissan Transporter, weil der relativ wenig gefahren wird auf Allwetterreifen:

I find Kumhos Start going really hard as soon as the first few mm come off. Great for longevity but not great for ride and grip after first year.

I heard Kumho don't last very long, but are good for the first 10,000 miles and not good at all by 30,000 miles.

I bought cheap Kumhos once. Short life span and too slippery to drive on even though they still had some tread.

My KUMHO tires on my new KIA EV9 are totally bald after 16,000 miles. I suggest that KIA stop using KUMHO tires on their EV9 - why spoil an awesome car with useless tires.
