Strength:

I fear no lack of power. Mod chips available from Xtant to upgrade. jumper system for crossover adjustment which I favor as they help reduce the chances of signal loss which can occur accross the more commonly used dials. Amp runs cool and i've heard the newer models have improved upon that even more. Grand Junction truck repair services

Strength:

My 1st set of Kumho KR 21's lasted 17,000 miles and vibration starting at about 10,000 miles. 2nd set of KR 21's installed (dealer paid for 80% of cost) with immediate vibration as the SUV accelerates. I've had it. Removing these crappy tires and installing Michelins. Save yourself a lot of trouble and just pay the $100 difference and get a good tire. The Kumho's just don't cut it..

Weakness:

You will get 20% of the mileage advertised.

The government should step in and investigate if these tires are safe.

Strength:

They were new

Weakness:

Unusable

I have run Kumho tires on all my vehicles for years with no problems. These tires are 2 years old with 15,000 miles. I started having ride and vibration problems at 10,000 miles. Rotate and balance helps the problem for about a week (maybe 100 miles) then it starts again. This KR21 is the worst tire I have ever owned. I am replacing them with 15,000 miles of driving only. The belts are constantly changing inside the tires. Kumho will not return my calls about any kind of warranty. The tire store I bought them from will not honor the warranty either based on their experience with Kumho. I replace the tires with Hankooks and the car rides smooth. I installed the used Kumhos on my Chevy S-10 and you can barely stand to drive it from the vibration. Therefore, I will never buy this tire again and I will never buy any Kumho tire again because of lack of customer service.

Strength:

Great price and reduced noise. Handled better than the OEM.

Weakness:

Didn't get value of 80,000 miles off this tire. More like 40,000. Tolerable noise came back after 7,000. As I mentioned before handled better than manufactured tire but expected more based upon tire rating 640AB.

The tire did perform much better than the Integrity but I'm willing to increase my budget slightly for a tire that will give me what I paid for: longevity and performance.

Strength:

purchased for the great warranty of 85,000 miles

Weakness:

after 40,000 needed to replace all four tires.

Can't afford to spend this amount of money to use the tires for half the warranty.

Strength:

Good price, Handle good on slick roads

Weakness:

Got 45,000 miles on the 80,000 mile tire

The tires don't hold up. All 4 tires on my car had broken belts before 40,000 miles. They are definatly not worth the money. I have had
ichelin tires that have far exceeded the mileage rating. I will be going back to the Michelins. They may cost a little more but they last a lot longer.
