For the price these tyres are incredibly hard to fault. My car use to understeer frequently in the rain and stopping distances became a concern. Looking at wet grip rating for these tyres sold them to me and they have delivered. I feel incredibly safe driving in the rain now especially cornering. They have never let me down and very easy to get to grips with their grip tolerance. They're not the quietest but if your use to cheap tyres, these are much better. I believe Kumho are essentially the same design/tread pattern as last year's Pirellis so save your money and buy these.

These are very good tyres for the price. They outweigh the cost and durability of the original equipment tyres from the same manufacturer.

This is a perfectly acceptable mid-range tire, dry grip is good, not great. fully wet I had no problem with the traction and found them with more grip than expected during the pressurization and for slightly humid conditions they have no problem. The slight drawback is the noise, but it would not stop buying me agin.

Very good tyre. Excellent price. Drive on them hard and they will reward you. And when you push them too far they will respond very early

I already have about 8 pairs of tires. I do not like to compare brands so I will evaluate them as a demanding driver and with aggressive driving. In my measure 235/35/19 I can say that: In the wet: it keeps the line even going too far, drains quickly, and when it loses grip it's because you provoke it. It scares you when you want, not when he wants to. The braking is short. Dry: has a firm grip, but with my profile is short, I notice the bending of the side of the tire in roundabouts and steps by curve when you take it to the limit, after this the grip of the tire begins to scream and feel the bend of the profile . It loses total grip after forcing much more of the squeal. It warns that it loses fast adhesion, the warning is short and when releasing pedal it recovers its current position. Durability: at 16,000, it warns followed by water that needs replacement. Some 4000 more permuting both pairs from front to back and lowering the level of aggressiveness. The noise: high to more than 150. I like the tire because there is no other in the market that quality price that offers an A in water (true and proven) for such a low price. It transmits good sensations up to almost its maximum wear limit. I always start with the expensive ones and then I return to those who comply with my driving at an affordable price.

In general, a good tire. Not as hard as in war as I was led to believe.
