Anyone using KUMHO?

[Yttrium]

That's the worn ES100...

[Bluesbro]

Oops ...

 

so much u paid for the Kumhos ?

[Africatwin]

oh that's really fast was talking about it n now u changed. Seems like it quite good from the way u describe but i prefer ku 33 due to it for sedan and i hate noise from tires that's y i wan to give up my ze512 though the ewar is not very bad yet. But my proton got no ABS wonder wat will happen if i compromise grip for comfort.

[Yttrium]

$72 each.. before gst.

[Yttrium]

I don't think there's such a big compromise in grip between the 2 that it would affect safety.. as long as one drives sensibly

[Africatwin]

U never know when u need to do E brake. Skiding is common on wet days and tires do play a part.

[Africatwin]

oh one more thing they charge 72ea and with GST is 75++?

[Kanr]

its sound quite cheap plus reasonable,bro!!

[Yttrium]

Yeah emergencies are another thing but I've never had to brake so hard that the car skids yet. Even on the so called crappy yoko aspecs I've had previously, I've never had a situation where the tires lost traction wet or dry. Of course driving a little slower and keeping a further distance from the car in front helps, especially when its wet

[Yttrium]

Yup that's right.. so it works out to be almost the same price you were quoted. Anyway the 2 dealers are just units apart.. go wherever gives you the best price.

[Africatwin]

Agreed but nowadays people cut in n out fast and furious. Skided on aspec without db and its a new set of tires somemore. Will changed to ku 33 when bonus is out.

[Africatwin]

Actually they are rivals. For yoko tires they are willing to slash price to get u change ur tires at their shop. I always call b4 going down.

[Yttrium]

Yeah that's what I had too.. the "aspec w/o db". A300s I believe. From the stories I hear, it seems the aspec db A500 are worse. Anyway, be careful when tires are brand new and not scrubbed in yet because they will not give you their full traction capabilities.

I find LS not so helpful with Kumho tires now.. nothing seems to be in stock and they are more keen to sell you other brands Wasn't like dat in the past.

[Africatwin]

Maybe other brand profits are higher. Anyway not easy to source for cheap tires. lidat maybe will try PH its nearer to my house.
