I´ve got 4 of these on my MG ZTT 190 and they are great. Silent and grippy... I´ve had to do a full emergency break at one time from 90km/h and they sure did handle the awesome breaking power of the MG ZTT.

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
The worst tire i have ever used. in the dry it's OK. In the wet....it's as skippy and jumpy as a kangaroo on steroids !!
Mine were on the car 2.5 years , loads of tread left, but then it just exploded when i hit a small pothole.
The inner wall split the entire way round !!! when i changed ALL the tires...the other three had cracked all the way round too !!!!!
I will NEVER NEVER buy these. If I had been going at speed.....i would be dead, as would my children !!!

These tires are acceptable in the dry. In the wet? Forget it. I've managed to spin these things in 3rd gear on a wet road!
They are wearing quite well, but thats because I'm wary about pushing them on wet roads.
Noise isn't too bad, especially on wet roads; but you know whats coming next? It's because I'm wary of pushing them!
There's budget tires, then there's these things.
Avoid.

I may have just been unlucky but after fitting 4 new Zeon CS6 within 5k miles I had to replace 3 due to bulges in the side wall and I am very careful to avoid pot holes. Have not experienced bulges in a side wall for decades so I'm suspicious that these tires are not up to handling UK roads. Now fitted Khumo instead.
I was initially really dubious having always used Bridgestones but I am pleased to say it is a very good tire for what it is. A quality value tire that is not designed for hang it out performance driving. For every day driving, moving the family around at the legal limit it is absolutely fine.
On a hooligan note, I drove them at an average 90 mph for 6 hours in France last year and they were fine.
As they wear the wet grip diminishes a bit, pulling away quickly from junctions with FWD will spin them up (maybe the big grooves in the middle lessen the amount of rubber on the road?. )
After 12k miles I swopped the fronts and backs and am now about to buy two more as one of the family drivers has kerbed and split a rear!! Joy!!

Amazing tires. They replaced Bridgestone RE040s on the front and it has transformed the handling of the car. The Bridgestones had a number of nasty habits including being noisy, tramlining and having terrible grip until they warmed up (which took a while).
The Kuhmos by comparison have shown just how bad the Bridgestone tires were. Tire noise is considerably better, no tramlining and cold grip is now much improved.
It would be unfair to say they are good for the price....these are good tires for any price! Highly recommended.

These federal tires had just been fitted to my MG ZT when I purchased it. They lasted 29,000 miles which I was amazed at. A bit noisy at slow speeds but for the money 10/10.
I have replaced them with Vredestein Ultrac's which are quieter, and turn in stronger but they were twice the price. I just hope they last as long.

Nice when new and middle aged. Good feel but quite noise-affected by road surface - but that applies to many makes.
As they got older (but not worn out) they lost their feel.
I just have 2 little moans; 1. Worn out after 10K of easy/mixed driving. 2. Rubber perishing/cracking in tread, I've never seen that before.
On the whole pretty good until they got old.

Excellent dry grip and pretty good wet grip considering it is a summer tire. Handling in the wet and dry is very consistent with lots of feedback through the steering.
I was expecting poor wear from these but they were excellent- far better than the michelin and toyo tires previously fitted. I would definitely buy these again.

Reviewing has got to be subjective - particularly wet conditions surely the driver is a much bigger factor than tire (see British GP 2008!) and unless we compare the same vehicle, judgement must be limited. That said, I have had this car for about 22,000 miles on same tire with front tires lasting about 11,000 (fwd 2.5 V6). The wet performance is very good (I don't remember a single scary moment, very aquaplane resistant on motorway and A road). Excellent grip and feel in the dry, but then for an estate, it really handles (car bigger factor than tire?). Reviews so far are not convincing me to bite the bullet and try another brand for ?150 a corner, although I know this would make my review more useful!
