Kumho's for the win.

F Body · August 03, 2006, 07:22:09 PM

Well after having a long drive down to Waltsure tonight I'm really impressed with the new Kumho tyres I had fitted

No tyre roar even on concrete, don't tramline and they seem to grip well ?

As we joined the M4 on that very tight left hand cork screw from the M25 a MB SL55 tried to undertake me at 70mph, did the last bit of the corner at about 90mph and blew the SL55 away !

I did think that the tyres were screeching but it turned out to be Management telling me to slow down

Yup kumho really do make a good tyre only things better were the bridgestones i had. Used to be able to get kumhop at import price as a mate of me dads was the agent all 4 corners for £50 was a bonus so i ran on kumho for ages before everyone else jumped on them

Hmm

need some tyres for the back of the mustang. The treads ok but I think the rubbers gone a bit hard, while in Japan....hardly any grip

Well you just have to do a few burnouts to soften em up

Well they were about £10 cheaper for each tyre than anyone else who has been recommended. Can't fault there service & price.

I also looked at these other recommendations :

Thats because they like a harder compound in japan nothing you can do to those tyres will soften them. On the plus side they will last for ever as opposed to a soft compound tyre with more grip
