Very well, more grip than the previous set I had. Still to be tested in the winter months, although my expectations are realistic as im aware they're more a summer performance tyre.

These Tyres are on the rear of my Z4 M.
They're good in the wet, & when I need Tyres on the front, I'll buy the same make & model (different size, as fronts are a different profile & width). - I've had Kumho before on a previous Car some years ago. KU39.
I like the price & performance of the PS72S.
They preform well in the dry & wet.
I'll buy the same Tyres for the front (staggered size) when I need them.

Had Kumho tyres before and was always happy with them.
But the latest 2 tyres wore out very quickly having only covered just over 4000 miles.
Not sure if they have changed the way they manufacture them, but very disappointing performance all around.
Won't be touching this brand ag. - Great value tyres coupled with good performance.
Great wet and icy performance for a tyre considered mid range.

Jaguar XJ TDVI 2007 on 20 inch sepangs.
Was due a full set and as having wheels refurbished decided to go for these.
Albeit 20 inch wheels and low profile tyres the ride quality seems excellent , good grip too.
Not really experienced wet roads yet but I'm sure they will be good.
Good value.

These tyres are superior to the dunlop sportmaxx they replaced. The ride is far better and they seem to be lasting well.

Went from michelin but couldn’t justify the price this time around. Went for Kumho and they are just as good performance wise, even a little quieter so will be changing the rear tyres to the same when needed

Tyres replaced the original Michelin Tyres at the rear of the car, I purchased a slightly wider tyre to give more rim protection. My Tesla is currently running Continental at the front.
In terms of grip, noise and efficiency there doesn't seem to be any difference to either the Michelins or the Continental. There is possibly a little bit more noise but nothing that noticeable.
I've now done about 3000 miles in them including a trip to Spain. They seem to be wearing ok. They are a little bit harder than the Continentals which suffer from many punctures (nails / screws).
Rim protection isn't so good as the continentals, which I also think look better.
But given the price I'd go for the Kumho's again.
