I got memed into buying kumho tires and two of them have blown up in the first year for no reason___ chinese lady refuse to honor warranty no matter what
Which tire brand is not a meme? I need to buy a new set and put these kumhos in the trash
Scotty Kilmer was right about these junk tires
Adrian Perez
Something not Korean or Chinese.
Never heard of anyone else with such problems with Korean tyres though. Myself I've had retread tyres fuck up suddenly but nothing else. I don't use Korean or Chinese rubber though since the retread incident so I can't speak so much for Korea
Henry Price
>refuse to honor warranty
That is why you have state attorney general and state laws on warranties. Check out your state's website to see who and how to contact. Have the warranty info and the serial number of each tire. Foreign tire makers, particularly chinese ones, like to avoid warranty by claiming tires in certain serial number ranges were not licensed by them for official legal sale in certain areas of the usa. Some chinese tire purchases from retail storefronts have had such warranty failures notably Consumer Reports when it tested three chinese tire brands which were purchased from official tire sellers buying from the official tire distribution network.
Owen Bennett
I run cumho ns2r semi slicks and no issue for the past few years. They're actually pretty good value for the track
Daniel Young
>wah i ran my tyres at 20psi and they blew up and now i'm not getting a warranty on a wear part Fuck off, retard. I've burned KU36 until they were down on their second belt and they didn't give a hint of a shit.
Lincoln Davis
I have kumhos. Bought them over 12 years ago (not on daily driver obviously). I was never happy with the compound, and they're cracking now but still intact.
I'd never buy kumhos again, but I'm guessing OP had other issues besides the actual tire.
Kevin Edwards
Just buy some Coopers man and be done with it.
Parker Bailey
If you have the money, Michelin or Goodyear.
Brandon Thompson
That's a rare scotty you got there
Nicholas Long
Please replace your tires before you become the next Paul Walker.
you would probably be safer driving around with a loaded gun pointed at your face.
Easton Peterson
Always Pirelli/Bridgestone/Federal
Why skimp on arguably the most important part of your car?
Noah Reyes
>federal >Federal Corporation is a Taiwan based tire manufacturer, headquartered in Zhongli District, Taoyuan City Taiwan.
lmfao
replace federal with michelin and then add continentals for shit weather and you've got yourself a good list
Luis Long
Using Kenda right now. Can't complain.
Jordan Gray
>Mfw when Geostar and Tracker are the cheapest/most easily available tires kill me
Ryder Anderson
I've had Kumho Sense's for over 50K now on my beater
Amazing tires for such little money. After doing research (mostly on tirerack), I honestly believe Kumho makes the best budget tires for the money (especially all-season)- period.
Grand touring TA71's are just absolutely phenomenal and almost best in class, and the new 4XII Ultra all-season is only a few feet of performance from the top tires with noticeably better performance than Sumitomo.
My next tires when I upgrade will definitely be a set of Kumhos. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Jaxon Brooks
i run sumito htrz III on my evo for dd, no issues at all, great price better than hankooks
Alexander Diaz
The best summer tire i have used is the bf goodrich comp sport 2
The best winter tire is the blizzak
Luke Hernandez
OP here, I should probably mention the guy that sold me them said they were barley used
Austin Wood
>buying used tires
you learned your lesson the hard way . . . as did I...
Tread depth isn't the only thing that leads to tire degredation. As tires get older (even just 2-4 years) they become much, much worse and aren't the same as new. Buy new.
Brody Thomas
That car only goes 3 miles to the store down a back road once a month just to scratch the rust off the rotors and lube some gears. Otherwise its literally sitting in a field (hurricane/tornado season so its out away from trees).
Too many cars, haven't had $600 for a set of rubber.
Ian Robinson
I've had good experiences with > Michelin > Bridgestone > Dunlop > General > Goodyear > BfGoodrich > Firestone > Hankook DO NOT BUY > Khumo > Cooper > Any other chinese piece of shit tire Pic related is some chinese shit my truck had on when i bought it. It was at 3/4 tread and it fucking blew on the highway, didn't even bother with warranty just threw on some Goodyears
Nolan Wright
>kum ho
Zachary Lewis
For years I ran nothing bu cooper, firestone, bridgestone, or mechelin. Slaps some toyos on my wife's car and have been impressed.
Josiah Adams
Toyos are not good.
Charles Stewart
Speak for yourself. Extensa A/S are highly reviewed and in the year my wife has had them on her car not a single complaint. Quiet and great in the snow.
Jaxon Ross
I guess i just got unlucky. If you have good experience with them, then keep using them. I only buy US made tires now, just a personal preference. Maybe my toyos were just lemons
Jacob Allen
Lel My dad's got an old Cadillac with some Pirellis from '97 and refuses to replace them because theres no dry rot
Isaiah Wilson
Whats wrong with coopers?
Justin Ross
...
Kevin Russell
Has Scotty Kilmer been taking hormones? He looks very feminine in the picture.
Ian Moore
What does Veeky Forums think of Yokohama's? The grip is nothing impressive, but they're cheap and they work.
Anthony Diaz
They won't kill you, but they aren't the best, i guess in a pinch they are better than shitty tires with no tread.
Nicholas Lee
Man I had a horrendous experience with the Cooper STT's. They get (got?) a lot of love from the 4wd crowd over here in Aus but mine were absolutely rubbish and delaminated after 40,000km on the front-left.
Switched to BFG's, on the third set and very pleased.
Cameron Cruz
Depends on what specific Yokohama you're talking about. They have performance variants which do indeed have impressive grip.
Samuel Evans
I bought some new LingLongs for shits and giggles
they only made it through one burnout
No shitting, that's the actual name
Adam Howard
Michelin or Pirelli
Hunter Nguyen
I got some Falken tires, am I fucked?
Noah Sanchez
kek, I didn't change my KU36's until I heard loud banging as they started delaminating on the highway after 5 years of use.
Oliver Rivera
kek no kidding
Jackson Long
Kumho is South Korean and they are fucking awesome for the money
I would say goodyear and firestone are a step below them.
It should also be noted General manufactures there tires all over the god damn- from Mexico to Brazil and Slovakia (quality, hmm).
Jace Lewis
*place
Dylan Diaz
Fuck Goodyear's, biggest piece of shit name brand tires on the planet with Michelin a close second
Best tires in the world are Continentals and Pirellis, with Dunlop's being in close consideration
Christian Garcia
I've been using kumho's on my dd for years. Their newer tires are fine for commuters. Definitley not performance tires though. But the road hugger gt's I have on now seem to be holding up better than the goodyears I replaced from the po. Plus they're cheap and last long.
Isaiah White
Continental's new factory has all many QC issues. u fucked now. Buy some fucking nittos.
Liam Anderson
Continentals are good quality for the money, but in terms of quality/performance combined- Michelin really is the best.
I agree Goodyear is garbage, and Dunlops are usually around the same price as BFGoodrich/Continental which are better.
Jaxson Brooks
Was going to mention Nitros, I really want Motivos for my DD
Andrew Thomas
Michelin's are overpriced and definitely not better than either Continental/Pirellis, if you're going to spend Michelin money go Italian
Adam Butler
Michelin> Bridgestone> Continental> BFGoodrich> Hankook> Dunlop> Kumho> Sumitomo> General
The only tire brands worth buying unless you like blowing money on Yokohamas or R-compound, or just don't know quality.
Tyler Torres
>Dunlop behind Hankook
Are fucking serious?
Kevin James
Consumerreports and numerous other tire reviewers/testers have already gone over this. In terms of just pure quality, Michelin is the clear winner.
Literally just google best tire brand or best tire brand quality.
Pirelli's have equal/better performance, but not quality of materials.
Adrian Sanders
>Consumer Reports
Literally the most biased bullshit rag with the most flawed methods for testing, which is of course why they rank Michelin's so highly, and they've been in trouble for their shit methods as well
Alexander Moore
then check out just about any other site
Michelin is #1 I'm not a fan of the French, but you can't deny they make some kickass tires that are the best all around in every category
Jackson Flores
You're right, my mistake
I stand by everything else
Eli Ortiz
In my experience with them, they're not worth the money, you can get the same performance from brands that cost less, it's just not worth it
Christian Brown
This is true
Just because something is #1 in quality, does not mean it is #1 in value. That's where Continental/Bridgestone step in, with Kumho/Hankook being the best at the bottom end. Dunlop is the black sheep in the middle with people usually going up or down.
Bentley Powell
My dad has Dunlop's on his '88 911 Carrera Targa and they are great, they're sticky and ride well with good rain handling Dunlop's are severely underrated
Ian Gutierrez
dunlop are very well respected in the motorcycle community.
Aiden Cruz
The point is, why buy Dunlops that are more expensive than Bridgestone/Continental when both are better quality/performance?
