Never had Kumhos on any of my C5s. Have run OEM Goodyear runflats, Michelin Pilot Sports and now Hankook Ventus V12 EVOs. I have been very please with the overall performance of the Hankooks and the price is very hard to beat.

I really liked my Kumho runflats. I will go back to them when these Michelins wear out.

On my third set of Kuhmo Run-flats. Got about 30,000 miles on the first two sets, but the third set is really disappoionting. Front driver tire is cupped badly and these tires are extremely noisy. In 10 years, I have had 1 flat, so I am going to get a set of non run-flats next time around hopefully to reduce the noise

Pleased with the Kumhos on the wife's car. Looks like she's going to get 30-35k out of them. All seem to be wearing evenly and I don't find them to be overly noisy. Hope this helps.
