ive had these tires for 2 years probably, they were on my old 5spd mark vii, i picked them up off ebay for somewhere around 350 bucks brand new. I wound up selling the wheels (without tires) and had the tires laying around for months, then i sold my truck, sold my car, sold my bronco and bought the mark viii and was like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, yep same size tires :D

so a few days after i bought the car i put the wheels the right direction and slapped the kuhmos back on, i do burnouts with them and all kinds of dumb stuff, they held up great and still have plenty of tread on em, defintely a good piece or rubber from my experience but i will say one thing about them-

i love em in the dry & i hate em in the wet

:D
 
I have two of those in my garage, 275 40 18, half tread left, for sale 10$ plus shipping. :q:q:q:qtiest tires I've had next to the falken azenis st 115's that split down the sidewalls after 500 miles at proper tire pressure.

Those kumhos, might as well be plastic. I drive agressive but those tires aren't reliable or predictable. Watch yourself or you'll need some new body panels. I've never used them in winter, either. I can't imagine how :q:q:q:qty they would be with the temp below 30. I also had them on a vette, because they were cheap, they sucked on that car as well.
 
we have had kumho ECSTA ASX on the camaro and had very good performance out of them only complaint about them was the short life of them
 
Dido on the kum-holes i havent had good luck out of them and neither has 2 of my buddies. The tires are lucky to last 1 year, an thatas using them as cheater slicks after they go bald.
