Kumho tires?

Anyone have any experiences with these they want to share?

Just looking for a basic set of all around passenger tires for the GF's car (03 Accent), and they are the highest rated tire that comes in the right size on Tire Rack.

Good? Bad?

Thanks

I use the MTs on the runner, and their road racing tires on my mustang. I love them both! Great performance, great price.

I have a set of Ecstas on the 17s on my car. They're pretty much the same ratings as the Goodyear Eagles IMO. But last I checked they can be had for a cheaper price.

FWIW ... Over at CustomTacos Kumho street tires are often recommended as good quality / inexpensive options for overall street usage and performance applications. The majority of owner / user reports have been positive. The two 'minority gripes' I recall had to do with wet traction and tread wear (two issues the majority reports indicated were fine for the price ... ).
