Driver’s 2nd review

  • Approx. miles driven: 11,500
The vehicle is front wheel drive (VW Caddy) so Traction is important the Komho's are good in both wet and dry, the steering is positive and directional, partially noticable was they are not as noisy than the previous make which is good for long trips - we tow a race car with this vehicle and have no hesitation of fitting the Komho when we replace in future

This is a tow vehicle for a Race car & Trailer the tyres perform very well in both dry & wet, the steering response is positive and they transmitt less road noise which is a bonus on the different UK road surfaces - I shall be replacing the rears shortly and will buy these again

I do not notice them which is good. Fuel economy is slightly worse than the budget tyres that were on the car when I bought it.

On my car the tread on the front wheels wore down on the outer edges much too quickly despite using good big brand tyres and inflating them to a higher pressure than the user manual recommended. I suspect the problem may in part have been due to the heavy weight of the 2.2 litre diesel engine. The Kumho tyres are wearing down very evenly and the grip (both wet and dry) is as good as any other brand that I have used before. They run smoothly are extremely good value for money

They seem to be performing okay but I am obviously a little apprehensive as one of them had punctured easily and deflated when it was only three weeks old.
