Re: kumho tires
can't base anything on where they're constructed imo, I'm running toyo m/t 37's made in the USA and they are overpriced junk, poor handling, bad wear quality, and usually run super swampers, also american made but quality product. I rant kumho mud tires and they were good, as far as the ecsta street tires they are good for the price imo, I ran these on the girl's mazda got great wear, handlin, and the longevity wasn't too bad but that's also on a car. Try AVON tires if you're thinking price wise, a few friends are running them on 24's and 22's and said for the price you can't beat them

Re: kumho tires
Don't know about their street tires but I have a set of 35" all terrains on my dodge 2500 4x4 diesel. Best set of tires I have ever owned. They have been on my truck for 4 years and have 50,000 miles on them now. Still got plenty of tread. Heck I've never even had them balanced in 4 years and they wear perfectly and ride great. I'm about to order another set.

Re: kumho tires
I put them on my daughters 1994 Camaro. Kumho Ecsta's to be exact. No problems. Decent tires on the cheap.

Re: kumho tires
I don't know about cars, but I know they seem to perform well on big trucks.

Re: kumho tires
I put a set of them on my '04 Honda pilot. They replaced the crappy Goodyear Interigas (very lousey wet tires !!). With the Goodyears, pulling a trailer the antilocks would kick in and you could NOT stop on wet pavement. Put the Kumho a/t or mud & snow tires (not sure of the model) on and now it will stop. They were louder than I liked but handled GREAT. I have +40,000 miles on them and still have good tread. They also lowered my MPG by about 2 MPG, but they are twice the tire.

Re: kumho tires
When Kumhos first came out they had problems/wore out quickly but have since improved according according to a reputable source I use when needing tires. I had them on a VW not a truck though. I also think it depends on your needs...driver...selling...
