Verry nice grip on wet and dry with short breaking distances. Bought this tires blindfolded as there were no reviews being new releases and replacing PS71. As for now I would recommend them.

Dry grip is excellent, same level as GY Asym6 I’d say.

I bit harsher and a bit noisier as the (very silent) Asym6, but the PS72 has a bit not direct/sporty feeling compared with Asym6

3 out of 4 brand new tires were out of round. Impossible to balance, a lot of vibrations at highway speeds. Apparently common issue with Kumho. Otherwise it would have been great, the dry grip was great, seemed like a fun tire.

I couldn’t stand the vibrations and bought Michelin Pilot Sport 5 instead. The shop was really service minded so they took the Kumhos back. Got them switched out today and all vibrations issues are gone and comfort level raised many steps. Will stick to top tier tires from now on.

Update after 5000 km / 3100 miles.
Everything is great with the tires except i have annoying vibrations between 100-120 km/h.
Just got them re-balanced but it did not solve the problem. My other rims and winter tires run smooth so its not the car.
Maybe also got some Kumho out-of-round issue here. Sorry to say it but this will make me hesitate to buy them again.

Bought these tires dur to the very good reviews of ps71. I do not have a sporty car, but the dry grip and braking it’s excellent. Never felt the tires struggling for grip.

They are not loud, but wouldn't they are necessarily quiet. You can hear them a bit depending on the road surface and speed.


Didn’t drive them too much in the rain, but seem to hold pretty well in wet conditions.


Mounted them in march this year and after 10-15k km I don’t see any major wear, but I would have to abstain on this one until I get them properly measured.

All in all, very good value tires and they looks preety good on my car

I bought this tires only based on PS71 reviews thinking that there will be an improvement. I came from Continental PremiumContact 6 and until now I am satisfied with the PS72, the car feel stable and braking distance is good. Until now I drove only in city and motorway and the handling is nice. Being RWD, I have 2 dimensions on the car, 245/45 on front wheels and 275/40 on the rear ones.

New tire without any reviews when i bought it. But Kumho is decent tires and PS71 have been doing really good i recent tests and i tought that the successor must be at least as good. I have zero regrets buying this tire. Its really grippy, responsive and fun to drive. The Michelin E-primacy i had on the car before was really boring and terrible wet grip, but would probably last longer than i could stand keeping them. The PS72 is really close to the Continental Sport Contact 6 i had on other cars before in real world driving. The only thing i dont know about is the wear. The tires is really soft and thats fun but time will tell how well they last.
At least when new - a perfect tire for the sporty daily driver!
