KUMHO 712

[Selespeed156]

It depends on your car chassis / suspension and tyre grip. Screeching of tires during fast/sharp turnings is a warning from the tires that they will give-up the grip if you push any further.

 

cheers.

When I'm driving on MSCP, I can also heard those sharp screeching sound from my tyre when making a slow turn!?

[Madarmour]

Smooth cement flooring like those in the MSCP doesn't grip well. That's why tyres squeals a lot in MSCP. Sometimes even the act of turning the wheel can induce some noise!

Hi all,

 

I just got my Kumho 712 225/45 R17 at S$130.00 per piece from Yap Bros today.

 

Service is fantastic.

 

Pump the tyre with nitrogen.

 

Tighten with Torque Wrench

 

Wash Rim Thoroughly and apply Meguair Endurance High Gloss Tyre Shine.

 

Offer me S$12.00 for tyre rotation after 10000km.

One more car with Kumho712 tyre

[Yttrium]

I think some of them are even painted with some kind of smooth coating. Almost all tyres screech on those. Damn irritating.. it can even be heard from 6 floors up..

I wonder if that's how TCS gets their crappy screeching tyres sound effect

[Yttrium]

Hey we can even have a Kumho meet up tonite! heheh don't let Super7 know.. later he thinks we're a breakway faction.

i still puzzled

Wat is the difference with tyres fill with nitrogen and air?

If tyre fill with nitrogen,can i still go petrol station to pump my tyres?

[Unknown_G7]

Is it b'cos Nitrogen more lighter than air!?

Nitrogen don't heat as much as normal air and it is moisture-free and oxygen free thus less oxidation inside the tyre and thus on the whole, the tyre will maintain tyre pressure better than air and also due to less oxidation, the tyre will last much longer.

Yeah, it's good. Not the best but 'cheap and good'! How much do they charge for nitrogen refill?

 

I always feel that those who use a torque wrench to tighten wheel nuts/bolts are those who are proud of their work.

I think they apply some kind of paint too..........

[Guyver]

Wah!! like that we must let Leong Seng boss know and get some bunk discount from there!!

[Guyver]

Pardon my ignorance... what's a torque wrench??

[Pathfinders]

I'm on Kumho 712 too!! It's get noisier and noiser especially when my car is full load. My family do complain about the noise, my reply to them is "They are cheap, good, reliable performance tires."
