Re: Kumho tires?
 

I ran a set of Kumho 13s on my VW diesel. They handled ok, but wore out
fairly fast comp-ared to other tires i have run, but I drive hard on
mountain roads.
They squealed on corners my firestones didn't.

I would take tire rack's survey with a grain of salt, most drivers wouldn't
know the difference, and new tires always are better than worn out tires.

Re: Kumho tires?
 

Those tires are the "825" series. I'm looking at the KL78 line. A bit
more aggressive. The MT series is really aggressive, but since this is
for my '04 TJ, which is my only vehicle, road noise is a factor. Also,
since I'm retired, cost is a factor. And compared to what I'm using now
the Kumhos will be a definite improvement.

It would seem the seller is a tire shop/auto accessory dealer. They
usually don't get too attached to the items they're selling. :-)

Re: Kumho tires?
 

LOL! I agree. I check the wear bars on what I'm running daily. At best
I've got a few thousand miles left and I don't like getting that close.
