Kumho KU39 - User reviews

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.

Very impressed by the all round performance of this great tyre, I do a mixture of motorway and country roads and have complete faith they are as good in the wet as they are in dry road conditions would highly recommend to anyone

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.

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.
