Just wondering how these tires are. I hear mixed reviews. I found a great deal on rims and tires and they only tire they offer is the Kumho Supra 712 so I want to hear some opinions on the tires.
I love them. I've only ridden on Dunlop SP9000 and Yoko. Avid V4. and I must say that the Kuhmos are better than both of them. Very predictable, and amazing dry/wet grip. I autocrossed with it only once so far and I love them. The best tires for around $60 a piece IMO.
I have the 712's, and i like them, my previous tires were nitto nt450's. I have to say the kuhmos handle AT LEAST as well as the nittos, and are alot better made(the sidewalls on nittos are ****ty and dont last, in my experience.) The kuhmos are a great tire, anyone that says they are no good has never driven on them.

make sure you get the 350 treadwear kumho's if you're going daily on them. i had the 220's and they lasted me a lil over a month. excellent grip but i dont need that luxury on my daily drives.

well i just took a 400 trip in them and i can say they handle fairly well. they have them in a 350 tread? mines 280 how long have you guys lasted in the 280 tread? 220 only lasting a month? how do u drive? i don't want my tires to last only a few months
well i my tires were cracked so i really needed tires quick and i heard the kumhos were decent so did bought them since i didn't have that much money i got them for 80 each. so should i gotten something else?

Originally posted by badmuthrfkr IMO, Ecsta Supras are junk.
I just put on a set of Sumitomo HTR ZIIs on my Supra and god damn they grip now.
I had Falken GRBs on there previously in a 265.
I put on 275s and I don't ever break traction in first gear now, yet at least.
My 275/40/17s cost me $115 each.
exactly. Kumho = softest sidewall in the world. For $4 more you can get yourself some sumitomo HTR ZIIs (at tirerack.com 205/50/16) I have had both tires and the sumitomo's def. grip better.
The Kumhos 712s are ok. I had them in 17s when I had my 00 Si. Before that I had the stock michelin tires and yokohoma avid h4s. The 712s were better than the both but would I buy them again. That's a NO.

like Chris93Prelude said.. falken azenis! i just ordered falken azenis 205/50/15 at $63 a piece. best STS autocross tire. heard nothing but great things about the grip of these.
if anyone is looking for excellent upgrades, i just went from Potenza RE92's to Potenza RE730's and WOW. On the 92's i would take this one turn at 30 mph usually and i could hear them start to chirp, with the 730's i can take it at 40 easily and i dont hear anything, they are like glue. I drove through the rain last night, booya, they are incredible too. I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone!
I've had my Kumhos for a year now and they still have about 75% tread left on them and they look great. They grip pretty damn good too. I don't have to worry about spinning tires I'd say Kumhos kick ass for an auto lude hehe
