Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 7, 2002 Share January 7, 2002 I got mixed reactions for Kumho tires from users. Some claims it's great in dry and wet grip, some claims it doesn't grip in wet. I own opinion is that it's a damn good tire! Grips well in the dry and wet and quieter than my previous Goodyear Eagle F1. Your opinions? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 15, 2002 Author Share January 15, 2002 Hi Spin, The Kumhos are up to par with my previous Goodyear Eagle F1s. Definitely much better by comparison to ST115s according to a few end user reviews of the ST115s, it's not a true bred performance tire. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadblock Neutral Newbie January 16, 2002 Share January 16, 2002 Huh, Kumho better than ST115? Is Kumho cheaper than the Azenis? I sure hope so.... In your opinion, is it quieter than the 115? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 16, 2002 Author Share January 16, 2002 Kumhos are a about 20% cheaper than ST115s last time I checked. The 115s are definitely quieter but wet grip is only average compared to Kumho. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbobrick Neutral Newbie January 23, 2002 Author Share January 23, 2002 Hey Volksey, thank you for your virgin post honor Appreciate it! My Kumhos have served me well for the past 10k, been to Genting and back last week and they held up real well in the "rally" bends I saw the Toyo R1Rs on MikeChong's car and it's really impressive as well, the rubber is actually sticky when cold! Imagine the grip.....drooooollll Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
