Default Kumho Run Flats

I will be needing new tires for my 02 coupe and am considering Kumho run flats. I know the ASX is a much quieter tire than the runcraps, but I would like to know how the Kumho MX Runflats compare to the runcraps as far as quietness, ride, etc. Anyone out ther run th Kumho Runflats?

I have them on my car and really like them. (The car had them on when I bought it.) They aren't as loud as the stock run flats I had on my last Vette. They seem to handle and stick better, too. The ride is good, and the tread looks cool, too.

When my current GYs expire, I have these listed as #1 on my list currently. I wanted to maintain the runflat status as mine is primarly a cruiser not a racer.

Exactly the way I feel........living in central Nebraska with good tire shops few and far between the run flat is essential.

I’ve had them for three months now. Much quieter than the original tires, comfortable ride that performs well & the price was hard to beat.

Yes sir. Everytime I see a tire thread I recomend these things. I have the Kumho Ecsta MX's and dude... for the money, and the quality, nothin' better IMHO.

Just got 'em and love 'em so far! Tire Rack was quick and good price. Zuti (see my pics to see how they look...there are some shots where you can see the tread.)
