I had the Kumho on my Fx45 before the current Kooks. Overall, I prefer the Hankooks since I feel the ride better, quieter, etc (maybe I am just getting old and need to trade in for an ES300). Plus the Hankooks come with tread warranty, no? The Kumho were a bit stickier but I felt they wore a bit prematurely.
My experience with Kuhmos is they were prone to sidewall bubbles after pot-holes or curb contact.
I had Kuhmos on both of my MK1 coupes (summer tires, never tried all seasons). They were quiet and comfortable until they weren't. Seemed to be a cliff you go over with them wear-wise. They were great, then very quickly you would get the noise/pounding "change me" stuff. But for the price they were hard to beat. Switched to the PSS on my MKII based on this forum. The Contis were out of stock and I couldn't wait, but they were also a possibility. Ran the PSS tires one season and they were very nice. Still had good performance in both wet and dry compared to the Kuhmos. Can't give you longevity since I traded that buggy in on my present TTS which came stock with Toyos, but I could have made at least one more season on them.
I ran those Kumhos on the Volvo 850 Turbo I had, I liked them a lot. The only downside was being that the car was heavy, you could feel the sidewall flex in hard cornering, then again they are a sport all season and not a true summer tire so I think they fit the bill nicely.
I like my Kumho's 205/45/16's, I have about 15,000 mi. on them, still alot of meat. There 2 yrs. old still looks new. They cost me $125 per tire.
I just got rid of my Falken 512s. They were not good (loud, hard, wore out fast), but for that price pretty much nothing is. I ended up going with Kumho ASX's and I'm pretty happy with them. They have a 30k mile warranty and ride much better than the Falken 512s, are quieter, and offer just as much grip. I think they run around $110/tire.
horrible tire. the road noise was embarrassing on this tire. i had them on my mkv rabbit when coming to a stop it sounded like my bearings were shot.
Generally the only times I've had issues with Kumho is on lower profile tires giving on the sidewall, but generally they are an all around good tire
Personally I had Kumhos before and they were pretty good, I had no issues.
Got the tire just after thanksgiving has less that 1500 miles. Hit nothing blew out on a highway going 70.
