Latest Kumho PorTran KC53 Reviews

Given 84% while driving a (185/80 R14) on a combination of roads for 15,000 average miles
I had 3 of these fitted to our caravan (2 road wheels, 1 spare wheel) in Feb 2016. As the weight is spread over 2 wheels, instead of 4 in a car, reinforced van tires are now almost always required for caravans or heavy trailers (Load index 102/100 8-ply in this case; normally run at 60psi pressure). With a manufacture date code of 4215, these tires are now over 7 years old, and are well due for changing, despite only covering about 2000 miles per year on average. They have shown virtually no signs of tread wear, and no cracking in the sidewalls or tread, but age deterioration internally is of course not visible. I've been very happy with these tires to date, and plan to replace them soon with the exact same brand and type.
