Nice tread pattern. Cheaper than the AD08R's. Perfect for me for my summer road trip. Will swap to the Yokohama's for track days.

Excellent tyre on a budget, not as good in the wet due to tread depth and intended use but behaves like much more expensive tyre

Kumho ku36 handles extremely well in a dry and not too bad in the wet. The road noise could be somewhat reduced, but can not really complain that this tire is 50% cheaper than its European or Japanese substitute (in my size 245/40/18).

Can easily feel when you loosing the grip on dry or wet that is a big advantage of this tyres. I often pushing them to the limits an so far not let me down. A small negatives are fuel consumption increase compare to Dunlop I had before and noise but nothing too annoying. Over all it is a very good tire.

The tire is fine and has an attractive design, so I recommend it for general use. Instead for a 'use on the track it would be better not, does the shoulder too soft and with a few laps is now in difficulty.

Mainly use the car not to go for a walk, even the hacks in climbs and hills, and I must admit that hold the road well even under stress and in the wet it's not bad ... They last little (2000km), but this does not a reliable judgment as they do not use it primarily for road use. In my opinion however, I am a good quality product based on cost not excessive! Surely I will buy more trains ...

Incredible grip on extremely precise dry or damp asphalt a little drift with very, hot asphalt wears off quickly but it is a characteristic of sports tires

Discrete tires, keep more of what they are worth, but in life reflect the price they cost.
