Purchased these tires in March 2021 for a Corsa utility and did just on 5000km, and were done. Returned to my type fitment center and the Kumho Rep says that they wore down due to poor wheel alignment. So, My understanding - A tire should wear evenly down across the tread surface. Yes, If it wears down unevenly then there is a alignment issue. (smooth on either side and more tread in the middle) Yes If one tire wears down unevenly (smooth on either side and more tread in the middle), while the other wears down evenly across the tread surface but at the same rate that is both down to the markers in 5000km they are both classified as alignment issue ???? this is what i can't understand?? Poor product, and poor marketing Rep, didn't have the decency to call and explain, just was blunt to the tire fitment center

Shockingly poor Tires. The side walls seem so soft that when exiting a tight parking space it gives the sensation of having 2 punctures. So awful in the wet that I'm surprised they're legal. Seemed to wear well although I can't confirm longevity as I changed them when 1/4 worn. These came on a second hand car I bought. I'm used to budget tires so it's not that I expected too much but could be described as laughably poor if it were not for the potential consequences of their performance.

Came with the MPV. Previously used the Solus design on the Wife's Peugeot 307 HDI and they drove a treat, with good multisurface grip, more than adequate performace in the occasional downpour, and as good a mileage as the "more expensive" Brands.

On the Kia they perform really well, and are remarkably quiet. Durability's OK in comparison to others, and on a cost per mile basis they certainly come out well.

We'll definitely buy these again, since they seem to suit our particular driving mix just fine.

Very pleased with this tire, exactly what I wanted for my car they have a good level of grip in both wet and dry conditions (they are even fairly respctable in snow).
They are quiet and give good feel, although they are not the longest lasting tires compared to some I am happy with how long they lasted.
If (like me) you want a tire that slightly favors grip (wet and dry) over economy/mileage then these are an ideal candidate.
Hoping for more of the same froom the KH17's I've just had fitted.
