As today, it will be 1.5 year that I have Kumho tires on my hatchback. They are really responsive in wet/dry roads. Even in rain they hold great grip. Within these 35k miles that I drove with them I can say that they are great. I tested them even at great speeds (consistent 160 km/h) on motorway and they are holding like a champ. For the price you will get 100% of your € worth.

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.

What Renault Clio II 1.2 16v drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Driven for 33.000km and down to 4mm.
Progressive tire in the dry not so in the wet.
The tires took about 500 miles to really reveal their worth. Initially the car felt very disconected from the road, but after about 500 miles this feeling is gone. Now they feel very reassuring. Good grip dry and wet. If they last for at least 20000 miles I will be looking at buying again.
after 2 months of installation in the clio ii 12 16v i have to say that i am AMAZED about their wet performance, specially while braking. a little bit more noisy than the falkens i used to have but bearable.
i fitted these tires a week ago. my braking became worst than the falkens i had fitted (ziex 914 , 185/60R14) . I will get back to report wear and wet performance. keep in mind that they are noisy no matter the km/h 50 or 150....
Great tire, I have had them for about a year now and they are really good at handling differernt road types. Managed to drive them on some mud and also handled well with little slip. I replaced all 4 of my random tires when I bought the car with these and haven't looked back since. Hardly any tire noise when driving at high speed on the motoroway.
EXCELLENT tires! I have wore ContiEcoContact 3 and Michelin energy saver+ but the Falken Sincera are THE choice. Perfect cost/effective, reliable and gives you full confidence. I had wore them after the conti's for 50.000 km on every road possible, then turned to Michelins but after 10.000 km got back to the Falkens. The label (E fuel, A wet) are completely accurate. End of transmission!
For the first 5.000km I'm very happy with this tire. Much better than the previous Bridgestone Potenza.
Worst tires I ever had. The first time I had to make a full stop in a rainy day almost collided with the front car. HUGE braking distance!
Compared to the last ones (Continental Premium Contact 2) these are terrible...
Very dangerous to use the brakes on top of road crossings with these tires!!!

Terrific tires, I have been using them for 2 years now, without any issues in any sort of environment... even though they are 2 years old now they don`t show anything like a performance drop anywhere. A "must have" tire, for any car!
