I have just had a quote for an new set a tyres for my Z. I have been having quotes for over £500 around but I have just had one for £305 including four wheel alignment BUT have any of you lot tested out Kumho tyres?? Because that is what they are and I have never heard of them.

I had Kumho on the rear of my car. Hard as nails so they will last for a long time. However when I changed them to Bridgestone the difference in grip was amazing. My S02's in the wet, grip at the same level, if not better than the Kumho's did in the dry. With tyres, grip comes with cost, the cheaper the trye the less grip.

Its up to you, if you are strapped for cash, Kumhos are cheap and will last a long time, but the loss of grip is annoying to dangerous depending on how you drive.

 

These are just my views. For some reason the yanks love them

When I first bought the Z, I had a set of Kumhos all round. Like Stuart says, they're a hard wearing compound. If you're on a budget with the tyres - check out some Falcons (Jap tyres), they're loads better than the Hoes! )

Hi

 

I was on a budget and got 4 of these Kumhos for £55 per tyre.

 

I don't think they are Z rated though, but my Z only does 112mph

I have a KUMKO 712 all the way arround and I've had them for atleast 6months, and the still look brand new So IMO- they are worth the price.

Hmmm, worth the price until you overcook it on a greasy corner and it's hello hedgerow !
