My tires for wheels 19 "on a heavy well powered BMW, so I can not afford to put with the exception of high performance tires on the car anything. High performance high tire brand name in 245 and 275 will be ridiculously expensive. Kumho however provide the high performance required in low and medium level of prices which is what I or anyone should want I think anyway. I've now bought 9 Kumho 5 tires for my BMW and 4 for my Toyota MR2. the MR2 was a cheaper tire that was everywhere partcularly in the wet. the KUMHO has fixed this problem entirely. Kumho the guy who's with me said Kumho are the best kept secret in the tire industry.

I would say that this is a mid range tyre, its not top of the range but personally it performs just as good if not better than some at the topoint of the range (Continental Sport Contact) The ride quality seems to be very good given these tyres are fairly low profile and coupled with sports suspension you can espect some discomfort on rougher roads but it's not the least bit unbearable. The tyres perform well in all conditions aside from snow which I have not had the chance to drive them but I will have by then switched over to winter tyres. They grip perform flawlessly on dry tarmac and very well in heavy rain, wind and even sleet, the same can be said when braking harshly, they do not seem to loose any grip, wet or dry, taking corners at speed wet or dry doesn't seem to bother them either. I work in mobile Security ND I'm covering anything up to 500 miles per week, they tyres do not seem to have lost very much in tread but I do have my vehicle tracking and balance checked regularly (2-3 months) They look very nice and sporty and they clean up well using Autglym Tyre Dressing. All in all I would highly recommend these to anyone, they are fairly cheap I think I paid around £60 per tyre. They look good they perform excellently can't go wrong with Kumho, will most likely buy the same again.

These tyres have performed well at every level (with the exception of snow and ice when I fit my winter wheels and tyres instead) and for the price they represent excellent value for money. They are as good, if not better than every other brand I've tried on the Alpina and I would definitely have them again in the future.

Kumho is a real candidate to be a premium brand. They are quiet, safe and after using them for quite a time, there is virtually no wear present. I have traveled for around 7000km and wore only a few tenths of a millimeter of tread. The only downside would be a bit unattrac-tive design. I drive moderately on an automatic transmission and have 150hp and Kumho KU39 fit just fine. I recommend them.

I drive a Nissan Primera P10 2.0 are good and will probably suffice on most of large motor vehicles. For me, the grip on a wet road is most important. I am satisfied with those Kumho’s, as they manage in wet conditions. What is more, they are really quiet.
