wide 19 inch tyres at under 100 quid a corner amazing. Grip is good in wet and dry. Usually use Bridgestone at nearly double the price and its no better than the Kumho.

Known - but tire technology of middle class so perfect, no noise, no problems, and, as it seems. I do not regret.

Kumho KU39 are excellent tyres for an excellent price. Before, I had Bridgestone Turanza’s with reinforced shoulder and I can compare both of those models. Bridgestone’s were more accurate and I felt a direct connection between the car and the road. Kumho’s are a little soft-er and I do not have such impressions, but they run well. The grip on them is great, no matter the situation. Well, maybe apart from extreme conditions, like snow or ice. They have little control in the slush. It is obvious, though, as Kumho KU39 are summer tyres. Summing up, the rubber is more than good. I would recommend it.

The tyres were value for money and I would buy the same tyres again. I definitely recommend the Kumho tyres. They not too bad if compared to leading brands that give nothing more. I recommend once again!

The tyre is sensational on the dry and wet conditions. Good tyre even for the most powerful cars. Good quality to price ratio. I do recommend!

For the price these tyres are incredibly hard to fault. My car use to understeer frequently in the rain and stopping distances became a concern. Looking at wet grip rating for these tyres sold them to me and they have delivered. I feel incredibly safe driving in the rain now especially cornering. They have never let me down and very easy to get to grips with their grip tolerance. They're not the quietest but if your use to cheap tyres, these are much better. I believe Kumho are essentially the same design/tread pattern as last year's Pirellis so save your money and buy these.
