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.

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.

I was quite happy with the purchase. After about 7 thousand kilometers the tires have a regular consumption and above all a good grip on both wet and dry conditions. Tires are "tourist": good for travel to relax and without asking too much in terms of performance, as the shoulder, even reinforced, is still a little too soft favoring phenomena handling, but in return very well absorbs irregularities ensuring great comfort. For those looking for a good compromise between price and quality definitely recommend them.
