Default Kumho Runflats

Anyone tried these new Kumho runflats? http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....l=ECSTA+MX+XRP

They're pretty new to the market place but early buyers like the low cost (almost have the cost of the Goodyear EMT's) and the reduced road noise.

Sharp looking sidewall too. I wonder how the "visual" width compares to the GY's...(many people have noted that the Michelin's don't look as wide and therefore don't look as good.) How can you beat that price though??

Keep in mind that the only repairable Run Flats are Goodyear & Michelin.

Mike,

Good point. Up here where I live (average 200 inches of snow per season), the car gets put away end of October through end of April. During that period I stay pretty heavily medicated.
