Ok for a normal day but absolute no for wet days – Got the tyres from tyresales in Sep 2019 and got it fitted through their partner fitment centre. After 2 years, noticed there was no grip at all on the wet roads. Pink slip check also pointed out that the tyres have worn out but was within the legal limit. But they gave a strong recommendation to change it. Show details
These tyres should be illegal! – Tyres have very little grip in the wet. I took a corner in the rain fairly cautiously at 40km, and fishtailed. I take this same corner at 60km with my other car fitted with skinny eco tyres. This tyre keeps losing grip in the wet. I took a roundabout normally and just touched the throttle and the wheels broke lose. These tyres are made from… Read more
chalk, Driving on gravel roads leaves pockmarks in tyres. No way these tyres should be available to the public. Whats the use in saving a little money when it will put you into the other lane!
Rubbish tyres – After 7500 miles the tyres started cracking up they were only4 years old the tyre pressures were kept to the correct settings , just a rubbish tyre they all had to be replaced after failing the mot test Show details
Horrible tyres and they’re only a week Old! – Bought these tyres from Tyroola an online shop for tyres. Got them fitted by the shop as designated by Tyroola on the 22/05/21. After 2 weeks on driving on these kumho sense tyres everyday for 20km each way on the m4 to and from penrith, I could say that they are what you pay for! They are horrible on the wet when we had the wet weather on the… Read more
3/06/2021 trying to accelerate and make a right hand turn in a dropped green the tyres have no grip at all! They slip out, LOOSE traction like you got bald tyres!
They are also very noisy! Had to get my car inspected and even had to put back my old steel rims and tyres on the car to rule out what the noise is as every time I accelerate at around 50km/h - 80km/h something was making a hissing noise on acceleration.
Found out they were these kumho tyres making the noise. Other way to describe the noise is like rubbing plastic together when your accelerating on around those speeds.
I personally wouldn’t buy kumho again. I only bought them as someone recommended them to us we always been with the top brands like Bridgestone, Dunlop or Michelin. From our experience they’re horrible and would never buy them again, because of especially the traction on the wet and safety. Steer clear of you love your life! Another cheap material tyres made in CHINA!
Garbage. Do not buy! – Absolute garbage in wet weather. No grip at all & you have to come off a rolling start, if you try to accelerate from a start, they spin & slide. DO NOT BUY! Show details
Be careful when it wet i buy 4 new tyres on October – Front ones needs to change less than 5 months about 6000 km please I recommend bridgestone tyres i had 2 years and back tyres still good condition i keep the back tyres and throw front wheels after two years bridgestone 10/10 but kumho 3/10 Show details
Stay away – work decently on dry but 0 grip on wet! Yes that is right 0 grip on wet! Very noisy on the road! If you love your life just stay away Show details
Would maybe use on a trailer – Tyres were on the 2L Mazda 3 when we bought it. Only three years old and plenty of tread left. Made in China. Hardly any grip in the dry and less in the wet. If you value your life buy something else. Thought there was something wrong with the car until I fitted new Dunlop FM800's which made the world of difference. Maybe use these Khumo's on a trailer. Maybe. Show details
Dangerous in the wet – Zetum tyres are great wearing but no grip in the wet. I drive a 200c merc. No power. Twice the back end has lost all grip. At 40kms per hour i slid 150m in the wet. Full brake lock. Like driving on ice just that i live in queensland. Show details
Good tyre – Kumho is generally quite reliable and I've had them over many years. Tyre is good on wet weather and so far I've been able to get about 40k Kms out of the tyres on a normal hatchback. One thing this tyre isn't good is with slight sandy road as my tyres has screeched before taking off on a slight slope. Performance/fuel wise, it's has been the same as the other brand I've used which is generally Toyo. Show details
Great Tyres – Its been 7 months, 6000km with these tyres and they are very quiet, they ride very good in the wet and car brakes very good as well. I mainly drive on the freeway. I keep them on 35psi all round and i bought them on special from Tyresales with free fitting and balancing at my chosen fitment centre. Show details
Bang for the buck – Had been using this tyres for around 2000 kms and no complains so far. Road noise is existent to none. I mainly use my car for city driving and out of town trips on the weekend. Hadn't had any issues at all. As a car owner just regularly rotate your tyres to have even tyre thread. Show details
Very quiet – Very quiet tyre for commune tasks. PSI rating 38, can go up to 40 if you want but this is where you want the tyres at to be running at so you get even wear on the rubber. I'm not sure what else to say.... Show details
