Question:

Kuhmo tires????????

Are they good tires people always say they are

Answer:

My last set on my Neon had a 55,000 Guaranty and i got 75,000 hard highway City Miles.
I am a mechanic and have used them on several cars. The first set of Kumho tires I bought I was attracted to the very low price for a car I intended to sell (more profit!). I was so happy with the first set that every set of tires I have bought since then has been Kumho. They have all been quiet and ride and handling has been acceptable. I was most impressed by how little weight it takes to balance them. I'm not sure if that is a real indicator of quality, it just took far less weight to balance them then most other tires do. On one set of 4 I didn't use more than an ounce of lead total to balance all four.
Kuhmo doesn't make the ultimate tire for any application. They do however tend to make more tire for the money than anyone else. Kuhmo's are usually better than anything else in their price range - except for their light truck and SUV tires, which I am not fond of. The Ecsta ASX, SPT, Solus KR-21 and KH-16 are all good values.
