Kumho KU39 - User reviews

Kumho is a real candidate to be a premium brand. They are quiet, safe and after using them for quite a time, there is virtually no wear present. I have traveled for around 7000km and wore only a few tenths of a millimeter of tread. The only downside would be a bit unattrac-tive design. I drive moderately on an automatic transmission and have 150hp and Kumho KU39 fit just fine. I recommend them.

The tires are quiet and very comfortable. Ensure maximum grip on dry and wet roads. Very stable cornering. I recommend!

I bought those tyres because back when I had VW Polo they were great. So now for my Audi A4 I went with the same choice. My car is on low suspension and I drive aggressively, especially on highways. My speed often exceeds 200km/h but it isn’t a problem. I have experienced literally none negative impressions, and that goes for a wet road to. Kumho KU39 got a great grip on curves. Aquaplaning… no sign of it! Generated nois is fine by me. Similar to Continental, Bridgestone or any other top-notch brand. As for the tread wear, I have been driving on them since 2014 and from that time only about 1 millimeter of tread wore out, and about 0.5 millimeters on the sides. As for suppression on uneven roads, well you don’t expect much of it on the tyres with a profile of 40. But they behave great, even on Polish roads, which are like Swiss cheese. They don’t have any bruising or tears. I recommend Kumho KU39.

Very good tyres, I have a total of only 140 km, but it is not a bad word I can say.

Great tyre in all weather, sticks tight to the road. Great value too. I wouldn't put anything else on my cars but Kumho.

I had these tyres installed when bought the car. Changed 2 fronts only for NCT. there were still 1-2mm left on them. Back tyres are still OK. Very good grip in Wet Weather which is important in Ireland. Good grip on dry surface. Could be noisy on some surfaces but nothing major. However need to slow down before bumps which is expected for low profile tyres.

I've had Pirelli P7's in the past and had a K39 as an emergency replacement initially. Unbelievably it made no difference to the handling and lasted just under 50K miles. As a result I've just bought 2 more K39's instead of Pirelli's and initial indications are that they're as good.

The tire works well on wet surfaces that are dry and so far there was no noise.
