Kumhos are OK, but not "the best" Posted by IrieTom [Email] (#1032) [Profile/Gallery] (more from IrieTom) on Fri, 30 Aug 2002 10:08:44 In Reply to: Get kumaho's they are the best tire at a great price., Dylan, Thu, 29 Aug 2002 22:14:08 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
This is my second summer running Kumho "ecsta supra" 712 tires on my '86 SPG in the 205/55-15 size.
They seem to fit the old axiom that performance and treadlife are completely opposite goals. The Kumhos have lasted longer than expected, while the performance hasn't met my expectations.
That said, they are quite a good value for someone who wants their tires to last more than 15,000 miles. They are also extremely good wet-weather tires, and are aggressive-looking for the style-conscious among us. Unfortunately, I'm getting tired of whimpering around corners at speeds considerably slower than the car is capable.
If you want all-out performance, you'll have to pay top $$$ and watch them wear down really fast.
Sorry, but I don't have any experience or even second-hand knowledge of green diamond tires. The only thing that pops into my head is "walnuts"
