Frequently Asked Questions

Are Kumho tires as good as Michelin?

Even though Kumho is not such a popular brand as Michelin, their tires are just as good (according to user reviews on the City Data Forum), and also cheaper. Even for a huge brand such as Michelin, some of the models are very well rated while others are not. And it’s the same for Kumho, some of their models being well appreciated by users.

Are Kumho tires made in China?

The company is Korean, but it’s now a part of a large Chinese conglomerate called Doublestar. It has three manufacturing plants in South Korea, three in China, one in Vietnam and one in the US. So yes, some of the Kumho tires may have been made in China, but that doesn’t mean they are bad quality.

Are Kumho tires bad?

No, the tires made by this brand offer good value for the money. They are known to perform very well on dry roads, but they have a bad reputation when it comes to wet traction. So as long as you live in an area where it doesn’t rain too often, the Kumho tires can make a great choice.

Are Kumho tires quiet?

Yes, even though this is a mid range brand, their tires are surprisingly quiet. This is because of their noise cancelling tread design and multiple pitch patterns. They do not compare to premium brands, but they are not too noisy either, which makes them a great choice for those on a budget.
