I'm about ready for some new tires. I plan on getting another set of Geolandars but was looking at These Kumos. Anybody know anything about these new MTs? Longevity, grip???? I like the look but tires aren't about looks. I have over 45,000 miles on my set of Geolandar MT+s and still have a fair amount of tread left. They have never let me down so I'm 99% sure I'll go with them again but I sure do like the looks of a few other tires out there and if they are as good I might consider straying from the Geos. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />

They used to put those on the "Supertrucks" they used to sell at the Chevy dealership I wrenched at. The tires looked aggressive enough, but wore out quick as I recall. Of course, these were lifted, full-size trucks with Duramax diesel engines and aftermarket bling.

i bought 4 Kumhos for a previous vehicle.
it was a street car.
Great handling and lasted a long time.
the ride seemed rough and noisey.

Body Damage is Cool

I had a set of summer Kumho tires on my Mazda Protege. The tires were impressive, I can say nothing bad about them.
