When replacing all 4 tires, the most popular vehicle was the Nissan Frontier, followed by the Nissan Xterra, the Mercedes-benz ML430, the Nissan Pathfinder, and the Jeep Liberty. 18 different vehicle models in total were fitted with this tire. The average mileage when putting on the new tires was 113,186 miles, and Spring was the most common time of year to purchase.
- Solid center rib provides steering response and delivers a comfortable ride.
- Four wide circumferential grooves supported by lateral grooves and interlocking sipes improve response to hydroplaning.
- Wide tread blocks with interlocking sipes deliver steering stability and long, even wear.
- Optimized tapered tread grooves promote self-cleaning for improved wet and snow evacuation.
These tires are far superior to the ones that came with the SUV and they cost a lot more than the Kumho tires. Immediately you could feel the difference and they just hugged the curves and we felt much safer driving on the freeways in the rain with these tires. The SUV slid in the rain with the original tires. I am looking forward to seeing how these wear.
Generally happy with purchase and would buy these tires again. That being said, I noticed what seems to be some sort of "flat spot" on drivers front tire. Noticed the subtle sound usually at higher speeds. The ride is fine but its the noise that bothers me a bit. I hope this is not a sign of things to come as the tire wears.
Early yet...but so far so good
