I've been driving on these tires for five years, covering around 65,000 km. I'd say they lasted well. On the front axle, they managed to go 45,000 km. I replaced them with Hankook as I couldn't find Kumho in our city (wide base tires). And on the front, I've gone 65,000 km and I'm sure they will last another 15,000 km. So, I'm very satisfied with these tires - they

The tread is weak. Blisters and cracks appear fairly quickly. It behaves poorly on the road. It constantly slips, is hard, and holds poorly on wet roads.

In general, the tire is worth its money. However, there is one drawback - it goes like ZR16 due to lateral reinforcement when the tire is inflated to 2.2 atmospheres (normal) - the tire catches every bump and throws it from side to side as if it were on a rail. But we found a way out of this situation, when the pressure is 1.9-2.0 everything goes smoothly.

Riding on the second car, an Opel Astra. This tire has been driven for about 6,000 km. The belt wore out by 40% which is very unpleasantly surprised, because the tire is not very soft. It holds the road moderately, shakes strongly at high speeds, and in the rain - average. By noise level - normal, but no more. The most unpleasant thing is that I cut the belt block right to the cord (just a

Excellent tire. Holds the road well on both dry and wet asphalt, firm, no bulges or blisters. Brakes well on both dry and wet road, overall I'm satisfied. This is not a comfort class tire, don't expect softness and quietness.

I bought them after months of extensive research and, honestly, there weren't many reviews available due to the novelty of the tyres, but I read enough reviews to know they were worth taking on the plain-jokers. Well, what a revelation! I ditched the Yokohama C-tyres, which in my opinion were an excellent tyre on both wet and dry roads, but the KU-39s were on a whole different level. On dry roads they were truly exceptional with high ad
