It seems the Kumho scores higher in wet conditions, while the dry performance is quite similar to the Toyo.
HS52 is pretty solid, given the recent balance between Kumho and Toyo I would expect it to outperform the Toyo.
I have used Kumho touring tires on two different BMWs and I thought they were great for a mid priced tire.
Have the Kumho Ecsta, standard fitted here in the Netherlands. Have to say they are very silent and durable. Drove approx 37k km with them. Have also Continental Premiumcontact winter/snow tyres. Not bad too.
I literally just got these installed last week and I am really happy with them. Way better grip and quieter than the stock falken tires.
Had Kumhos on my Celica for 4 years and they’ve been pretty decent to be fair, even wear aswell.
I used to run kumho ecstas on my saabs and they were great all seasons. Handle well in the dry and safe in the snow. Best tires I've had at that price point and they were good enough that i wouldn't bother spending more.
I run Falkens, but used to run Kumho, and they wear pretty quick.........
I would say you could buy a few thousand large rubber bands and apply them to the wheel to make a better tire than these Kuhmos. Absolutely garbage tire. They transmit way too much vibration from the road to the steering wheel also.
Tell you what I wouldn't recommend: Kumho Solus, thanks to which my car now tends to pull itself in different directions on freeways with the cut-in rain channels.
