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.
i run the same size 235/40/17 Nitto Nt01. Awesome, perfect fitment.
I've got a bit over 7000 miles on them and I have the same impressions. I really enjoy these tires. Quiet, sticky, great wet traction and dry. Very very happy with them.
I have these on my MKV R32 and love them. They are the best tires I have had on this car (previously Sumitomo HTR P01 A/S which were the LEAST durable tire ever and OEM stock dunlops) These are the most quiet, grippiest, most comfortable tires I have used.
Damn those stretch incredibly well compared to my Nitto's These are my 205/40/18 on an 8.5
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.
Just installed Motivo's on wife's 2006 S4. Really like the tires. Tires are quiet, have excellent wet weather grip and seem resistant to hydroplaning. Also the tires do not follow road seams/grooves. Thinking about putting Motivo's on my 2013 GTI.
I have the Kuhmo Road Venture APT KL51 235/60. I was very happy with them until I realized the fronts are shot after 20K mi. I probably ran them under inflated a bit for too long. And never rotated them =(. The taller than stock size makes zero noticeable difference on the speedo or power on the road. My speedo matches my GPS reading exactly. Clearance is no problem.
I bought these exact tires for my gli. I don't know what the deal is with them, but they flat out SUCK in the snow. The are by far the worst performing all season tire in terms of snow usage that I've ever run.
