Kumho MX tire users - feedback wanted
Need a couple of new rear tires - went from run craps to Michelin Pilot Sport A/S (non runflat) a year ago. Rears now worn out after 25k. Shopping for new rears - Kumhos prices seem the lowest, forum members have said they went with Kumhos MX's - looking for feedback on how they perform....

Well, I have put about 2000 miles on mine, and I think they are pretty good. They handle well, and I had no problems driving when I got caught in some huge thunderstorms yesterday.
I think they are great for the money, I have never been one to waste $300 per tire for rears when i know I will burn them up a lot faster then the fronts.

I have used them on the street and on a high speed roadcourse. I think they are great. I used Bridgestone S03s last year and don't think I have given up anything. In fact I think they are more predictable at break away.

I have about 500 miles on mine and I like them WAY better than the EMT's that were on it. They grip way better straight line and especially cornering(although the runflats were almost bald so comparing may not be fair). The tread pattern is nice looking and quiet. For the money I don't think they can be touched unless they last < 10,000 miles, then I might not like them but only time will tell.

I've had them on for about 2000 miles now and they are great!!! Very good dry traction and good in the rain as well. 1000% better in every aspect compared to the run-craps. Well I guess they are not as good when you get a nail in them though. :lol: It's nice to be able to hear the person in the seat next to you now too.
