Kumho Tire Reviews

I had 3090 miles on new Kuhmo tires, one of the tires separated. But Kuhmo the 65000 mile tire is not warranty. Contacted them and got the run around. I would not recommend these tires to my worst enemy.

In my opinion Kumho tires are not a good option, they are not cheap and not very good either. Mines started coming apart at 24.000 miles in a brand new Audi Q5. Submitted a claim with the dealer and Kumho and both of them bailed out. I laugh when calling Kumho and hear that they have excellent customer service. In my opinion, you better go for a cheap set and save some money or spend a little more and get good quality ones.

I purchased my 2021 Kia Celts new and it came with Kumho Tires that are rated for 60,000 miles. At 25,000 miles my mechanic said my tires are worn and should be replaced soon. I contacted Kumho tires and their representative, Grayling **, was rude and unhelpful. He said the warranty doesn't apply to new cars. I contacted KIA and they said their warranty doesn't cover the tires. What a run around! 60000 Mile tires that are wearing out at 25,000 miles??!! That's ridiculous! I would warn everyone who is thinking of buying new KIAs with the Kumho tires to not expect these crappy tires to last very long! I can't believe the horrible customer service of these companies

I bought a 2020 KIA Sportage which came with Kumho tires. At approximately 16,000 miles, I was experiencing shaking at higher speeds. Took it in and they said the tires were wearing and not safe to drive on. I purchased 4 new tires. The car drove great. I did reach out to the Kumho company with pictures and feedback from the technician that informed me of the tire problems. They denied my request to cover the new tires. Now, I own a 2024 KIA Seltos and it has 15,435 miles on it. It to came with the same Kumho tire. This did concern me when I bought the car.

I purchased 4 Kumho tires for my Toyota Highlander in Nov. 2022. Bought 3, got 1 free. I got 33,000 miles out them before the SUV started shaking when the car exceeded 65 mph. The warranty is for 60,000 miles. My local mechanic told me the alignment of the tires was fine and that the tires appeared to be defective - wearing on the inside treads. The mechanic at Pep Boys alleged that the wear was a result of bad wheel alignment. The manufacturer said they have to rely on the retailer's assessment. After going back and forth, I decided it wasn't worth the trouble. My mistake!!!! The previous reviews were correct, if you buy Kumho tires, expect to replace them every 2 years.

Cheaply made product, limited traction when wet conditions. Beads have been bad twice in the last 6 months of tires being replaced. The excess of the tire being made looks like a re-tread but it's not just trashing having little bits of the tire fall off the side wall.

I got the tire on my brand new car. Called the warranty help line, they told the tire they put on new car are not the same even though same tire. They sell same tire with same brand and name. they refuse to cover their tire warranty, my only question how can they make same brand tire with 2 different quality and warranty

Kumho tires came on my new Kia EV9. After 16,000 miles, all 4 tires are totally bald. The Kia dealership was surprised but pointed out that these are very cheap tires. They recommended Hankook. I hope that Kumho will live up to their warranty. We will find out soon.

Kumho Canada Jay ** handles the warranty. Korea may want to look at his customer service transparency. I have had about 5 sets of Kumho tires that included winter, and all season. The issue is with the warranty claim for the ECSTA PA51, two of four wore out at about 45000km. These were only used during the summer. Warranty is for 70000 km. Winters were used for about 6 months of the year. The vehicle had an alignment where all four tires were aligned with one slightly off, no problem according to the tire shop. Alignment was done within the OEM requirement for doing an alignment. I was willing to buy another 4 Kumho tires based on the pro rated warranty on the 2, and work out the other 2 that were still in good condition.

Purchased these tires from Mercedes 30,000 miles ago. My car was shaking when going around a curve so I took it into Mercedes and I have broken belts in all 4 tires!! Don't purchase these tires unless you want to replace them every other year. I am 69 years old and am not rough on my vehicles. I'm writing a review online to let these dealerships know NOT to recommend this brand of tires. I have not tried to contact them after reading the other reviews. They don't answer anyway.
