Default What do you think of Kumho tires?

I'm thinking of replacing the Bridgestones I have with Kumhos. Are they good tires for the $? Long life? Thanks.

I have them and I like them alot compared to the GY runflats. Interior noise is minimal if any. I just got a tire repair kit and I think I have roadside assistance through my insurance. I got them from Tire Rack through my neighbors business, so the price was pretty darn good.

Just got mine 2 months ago and replaced GY and they are a good tire for the money.

I have the Esctas (however you spell it) and they have been great.

Just get a patch/air kit so you don't have to worry about having non-runflats.
