been very good, MUCH better than the Nitto NT450's that were on there.
My only experience with Kumho has been their passenger car tires, and they were gawwdawful.
Korean vs Japanese made....hmmm, which are better, Korean cars or Japanese cars? I'll take a Honda or a Nissan over a Kia or a Daewoo :)
I wouldn't recommend the 45 sizing unless you never hit pot holes...saab rims seem to be on the soft side, 45's will make you more prone to bending rims.
Can't comment directly on the Kumho's, maybe they are OK, some people on this board seem to like them, and they look like they would perform better in the wet just judging by the tread pattern. The car i have the Sumi's on is a weekend driver, and we don't see a whole lot of rain in San Diego.
the wear seems to be a little high for having a treadwear rating of 300 on the sumi's, but to be fair, it is a pretty small tire on a fairly modded 92 9KT (20+psi) that is driven in a 'spirited' manner :)
