Tires Kumho or Maxxis

I've never had a more tenderfoot set of rubber on any car and was really glad to have worn them out. Replaced with Kumho tires which ride like a noticeable harder compound/tire and have had no punctures since.

Kumho tires are a decent brand.

I would agree with another poster that they are a good mid-tier brand. In that range of tires, you generally pay less and get very good performance.

What I’ve found is the mid tier brands usually give something up to the top tier brands like Michelin. For example, if you get a performance tire, the Kumho might have dry grip that is as good or better than the Michelin, but maybe the tire doesn’t last as long or isn’t quite as good in the rain.

The differences tend to be small, though. And the price premium you pay for top tier brands is usually a larger percentage than the difference in performance.

well, if your in japan my shop just recieved a 24x2.4 dhf. It’s s very high quality tire!

The best option is the Kumho Ecsta PA31. That's what I run in the cool months.

Owned two sets of kuhmo LX Platinum excellent budget tire very quiet got 45k miles with a few rotations still didn't hit wear bar when changed. I will say not good at all in any sort of snow.

Not low grip but sticky in yet durable and fairly quick is the Kumho Ecsta V730.

Shit for we weather tough, to be fair

Nothing wrong with the Kumho tires but those are Z rated and ultra high performance tires. They won’t last long and will ride like an ox cart. But they will grip very well.

I've had a good string of flats on my DTHs, but they're such a great tyre otherwise that I could never be mad at them. They're also so big and floppy they're a breeze to remove, unlike most "puncture resistant" tyres.

In a year and a half of having these tires I’ve had 3 flats and 1 slow leak on the sidewall of a a tire… needless to say, I’ll never get kumho’s ever again

The Kumho are crap in the rain. I was facing hydroplaning issues within a week of buying the car.

The did do it in a decently controlled way but I have not been impressed with the stock tires at all. Not to mention I have 20k on them and about 10% of tread left.
