Kumho KU39 - User reviews

We bought the car in April '18. We had a mixed set Dunlops on the front and Chinese spurious on the back. The Chinese ones were very dodgy in the wet. The car had too much power for them. The new Kumhos are excellent in dry and wet conditions. It gives us the confidence to drive hard and have some fun with a car that likes to be pushed. If you're in doubt, take a chance - these are excellent tyres for the price.

Not only these tyres grip is as good as any other much More expensive brand tyres but also thay are much cheaper than the top brands. Didnt have any faults, and the tyres look great aswell.

The tires are quiet and very comfortable. Ensure maximum grip on dry and wet roads. Very stable cornering. I recommend!

I bought those tyres because back when I had VW Polo they were great. So now for my Audi A4 I went with the same choice. My car is on low suspension and I drive aggressively, especially on highways. My speed often exceeds 200km/h but it isn’t a problem. I have experienced literally none negative impressions, and that goes for a wet road to. Kumho KU39 got a great grip on curves. Aquaplaning… no sign of it! Generated nois is fine by me. Similar to Continental, Bridgestone or any other top-notch brand. As for the tread wear, I have been driving on them since 2014 and from that time only about 1 millimeter of tread wore out, and about 0.5 millimeters on the sides. As for suppression on uneven roads, well you don’t expect much of it on the tyres with a profile of 40. But they behave great, even on Polish roads, which are like Swiss cheese. They don’t have any bruising or tears. I recommend Kumho KU39.

This is the second set of tires I owned and see myself buying a third. Grand tire for money.

I bought these tyres for a winter season but I think they would be good for summer as well! Although the Kumho tyre is not quite a sporty tyre model, it is a real revelation for me. The pattern tread is very advanced and attractive.

The tire works well on wet surfaces that are dry and so far there was no noise.

I've had Pirelli P7's in the past and had a K39 as an emergency replacement initially. Unbelievably it made no difference to the handling and lasted just under 50K miles. As a result I've just bought 2 more K39's instead of Pirelli's and initial indications are that they're as good.
