Kumho Tire Reviews

I've had 4 sets of Kumho grand touring tires including what's on my car now. No problems with any of the 4 sets. I was never informed/advised/warned by tire installer [America's Tire] that there were serious issues with tires with the old tires. I will continue to buy Kumho tires.

Bought a Santa Fe Sport with Kumho tires. I have a shimmy. Had car aligned- no help. Balanced tires- helped until a different shop rotated my tires, now it's back. After reading reviews, I will go with they are crappy tires! Always bought Michelin, will go back to them.

I've been using Kumho All Weather HA32 for about 10 years now and I've been happy with the tire. I've used 19" on my vehicle and installed 17" on my daughter's car. The last two sets I bought through 1010 Tire. Like those guys, liked their work, liked the tires. But this year I couldn't get 19" any place and was forced to look at their competitors. When I find my product and price, I don't know if it'll be through 1010. No idea why my preference is no longer available. The 17" I put on my daughter's car are fine. Came with a $60 rebate... just fill it out online and submit... I was told. Good luck with that. Haven't found a site that works. After 10 years, I guess they've got all the customers they need. I have no more time to waste on this BS.

Bought 4EA new Ecsta PA51 Kumho Tires for my 2008 Honda Civic 5-speed, on Sept. 9, 2023. These replaced a German tire, Vredestein, which were in my opinion, very good performing tires, especially in wet conditions. On Dec. 3rd, 2023, on the highway, I went to check my breaks in an off ramp and my car did a 360 spin-out. There was something wrong with the road for sure, but the tires totally failed me when I needed them most. I was told there would be a break-in period and a little iffy in wet conditions. So had the tires about 3 months and never liked the ride. Mushy tire. Felt like I was riding a dung buggy. Anyway, this Kumho tire was not what I expected it to be. FAILED!!

My car rides like I have a roger rabbit car. Thread is breaking off. I took my car back to Sam Club to complain but the service person said it was okay, I had just left the dealer who advise me to get a tire. I've also other people who has the same tire with the same problem. I have the worse ride.

I bought a new used car. It came with Kumho tires and I have had 3 flats and no nails or screws. Every one has been valve stem issue. I've repaired or replaced 3 of 4 now. The 4th will be replaced Tuesday. I will never buy this brand of tire ever. They have defective valve stem.

This was my first set of Kumho 295 70 R 18 light truck tires. They were installed on my 3/4 pu. After about 10k I noticed a vibration at 70 mph. Pretty much the sweet spot for freeway driving. Road conditions on Washington State highways are pretty bad so sometimes it's hard to determine if it's tires or road conditions that are causing the problem. After another 10k I asked the dealer to check it out. All the tires were defective (out of round). They adjusted the tires for wear and ordered a new set. After installed the truck truck drove like I was on a washboard road. The dealer's inspection showed 2 of the tires were okay and 2 had to be replaced. I had them take them off and install another brand.

This is my 5th blowout and 3rd warranty replacement on my 2025 Honda CRV. I'm glad I got the dealership road hazard tire warranty. The 2 other replacements were side wall bubbles. Terrible tires, not durable at all. I'm hoping to make 30k before I replace them with another brand.

I purchased 4 new Kuhmo tires from Mavis Tire and Brakes in Dunedin, Florida, the end of July 2025. On August 10, 2025, I had a sudden, severe blowout on the freeway going 65 miles per hr., nearly causing me to lose control of the car and tearing off a piece of trim and a hubcap. I returned with the tire to Mavis/Tire Kingdom. I was told it appeared to be a factory defect. However, I needed to purchase a new tire and pay for balancing again since the retailer was not willing to honor any kind of warranty, including Florida implied warranty law.

Poor tires. Had them installed on my f150 pickup. The next day one of the front tires was flat. Called the shop they said take it off and bring it in. So I did and they told me the sidewall was defective they put the new one on. I only got 30000 miles. Shop says I need new tires. Ridiculous.
