Funny way of describing a Camry?
Are any of them still made in Korea? ( Kumho's tyre business was sold to China years ago)
Doubt it. My Kia came with Kumho's and I went there to have them replaced. No stock, no positive feedback but plenty of other options.
I've changed to Falken tyres (made in Japan) and haven't looked back
Me too
I had PS4 S on my Stinger and swapped to the FK510 and have noticed 0 difference
Pirelli Scorpion Verde had much better grip but some country roads do generate near unbearable noise. Uneven running sizes on an AWD turned out problematic with either traction control of abs making noises in corners.
But happy with Falkens, the value for money is good.
Same level like Samsung vs Xiaomi?
If a Xiaomi robot vacuum tyre delaminates it won't injure you
.
Maybe he's thinking North Korea?
No Asian tyre manufacturer is at the same level as Michelin. Plain and simple.
Made in Indonesia, I checkout some Kumhos at the shopping center park.
If I'm reading their deal right, they'll actually only pay you 10% of the difference between BJ's price and the competitor's price, which could be favourable or basically nothing depending on how far apart the prices are.
If I'm reading their deal right
You're not.
"we''ll match it and pay you 10% of the difference"
That’s what they’re saying 🤦♂️
10% of the difference.
If their price is $10 more, you end up saving $1.
Well I used it 2 years ago for a set of 4 x Kumhos, and they didn't pay me money but they took it off the total invoice. Could be different now. Felt like the shop didn't really like me doing it though. They initially tried to just match until I asked them.
Not impressed with BJ online at all —- I got an online-only deal for Kumho ES31 at Bob Jane over the weekend. For size I needed it was about 20% off their normal price. I have a shop 2km away so quite convenient but dealing with Bob Jane online has not been great so far. Hope things improve when I actually get tyres fitted but so far the hassle has not been worth the discount. Seems tyre shops are still stuck in the world of having to make phone calls to check stock levels and waiting around. I should have looked into Tyroola or Tyresales because last time I used both these services the customer experience was pretty good. This time around prices for the tyres I wanted weren't that great and I didnt feel like driving all the way to Tempe Tyres (where they always have good value premium brand options).
Tyresales seems to really lack stock for my size. Not many options.

If you go into my car for new tyres you'll get "I'm sorry we had to replace the engine, that $6500. We've replaced all
7 tyres on your 4wheel drive - here's your bull. (Sic).
Checking tyres for KUMHO ES31 91V on Toyota Corolla per tyre
myCar with discount is $98
tyroola it's $103 normal price
Wouldn't say it's a bargain.
Save $20 though
myCar has one year free replacement warranty if your tyre hit the curb and busted, it saved me once.
Link?
@Poor Ass: mycar: "If your tyre is damaged beyond repair by a road hazard** in the first 12 months, we’ll replace it free of charge."
I bought 4 pirelli's through the deal. I replaced 3 tyre over the coming 12 months, two to potholes given all the rain and low profile tyres and one to a puncture they deemed unrepairable. 3 new tyres in one year.
how lovely saving 20 bucks lol
I don't think a tangible saving of money over the competition is a valid neg…
Tyroola - extra for fitting and shipping for me no thanks
Shipping and fitting and probably disposal fees too. Shop may even charge extra for balancing?
So four new brand name tyres fitted on your car for $392 is not a good deal?
He drives a corolla. New tyres would double the value of the car
Looks like the Tyroola price doesnt include fitting, that's an extra couple of hundreds on top
My 2013 turbo Veloster I've been running 225/40 R18 (Pirelli DRAGON SPORT) instead of the recommended 215/40 R18 size mainly because over the years I have ripped the side wall from the 215s on potholes three times.
It is also a nicer ride.
(I do note that later turbo Veloster do recommend 225/40s).
How does the KUMHO PA51 92W compare to the Pirellis? Would I notice a step-down?
Also, do you think I'm an idiot for not running 215/40s?
do you think I'm an idiot for not running 215/40s?
If you think so :)
If your car isn't supposed to take 225/40 then your speedo will be out slightly. You'd be going slightly faster than what the speedo shows. Maybe like 5KMph or less.
If you want the wider tyre size you could go down in the aspect ratio to 225/35R18. Usually the tyre placard or car manual would state this if it's ok
Did the same on my Renault clio rs (205s to 215s), for that reason. Funnily enough the speed actually ended up being more accurate, I guess because they intentionally make it read slightly slower.
I remember seeing from carsales or carguide website that if overall diameter of the tyre is 1.5% bigger or 2% smaller is within legal limit without needing to recalibrate the speedometer. Having that said 225mm as opposed to 215mm wide tyre, you get slightly more grip but your car consumes slightly more fuel at the same time.
Hard to say about consuming more fuel,
It will certainly appear to be using more fuel. The speedometer will be closer to reading accurately Eg
Travelling at 97 kmh the speedometer reads 100km
Now.
With the upsized tire travelling at 99kmh the speedometer reads at 100kmh
You’re going to appear to be using more fuel for the fact that you’re pushing the car a to move a little bit faster than you were AND appear to be travelling less distance.
Like I mentioned. It’s only a couple of km per 100 at most. Over a tank, it’s like 10 or 20 kilometres.
The loss of braking force is the only thing I think you could really notice when the car is pushed to its limits or if it’s fully loaded. Otherwise everything will be similar with much better ride, handling and grip
You can have 215mm wide with higher tyre profile and 225mm wide with lower tyre profile to achieve the same overall diameter which has no effect on the speed of the car but it still doesn’t change the fact that wider tyres have more grip and hence more friction and more resistance on rolling. As such the fuel consumption is higher. I’m not making this up myself but there are multiple websites agree with this fact.
Size wise I'm sure you're fine man. I went from 225 to 255 on my car with some chunky rims too. No dramas
because every car has a different size ..
When you call up to ask about these
-how do you pronounce the brand ?
Things get tricky once you get past
Bridgestone or Dunlop…
Cum hoe
Well played. 2 sec beat.
Cum - Hoe
Like broom but with a c and then 'oh' on the end. Coom-oh. Check ads for them on Youtube for further.
Buy tyres from mycar no problem but their wheel alignments truly suck. Absolutely jokers. Three bad experiences.
Which suburb did you go?
The wheel balancing was absolutely terrible…
My wheel had weights on it so rather than remove them and start from scratch, the just put counter weights on the opposite sides of the wheels
Just kept adding weights every time I took them it back.
Took the car to a proper tire place and they were not impressed.
I’d never let mycar anywhere near my car.
They also fitted the wrong wheel nuts when I had the wheels changed, kind of my fault for not providing them with different wheel nuts but they only had to tell me and I would’ve picked them up. Instead they gave it back to me in a very dangerous configuration which was later picked up by my mechanic and fixed by a proper tire place
Mechanics generally are one of the professions who never appreciate a work done by a colleague. They will always tell you their colleagues suck no matter what. This is what I experience every time. Doesn't matter whom you go to, the previous guy was always bad.
Free fitting?
We had kumho tyres on our old Audi.
Had 3 replaced in 6 months due to issues and they were not fkn cheap $360 a tyre.
1/3 warranty claims was approved. All 3 had the same fault but they wouldn't cover the other 2.
Moved to Falken tyres haven't been back in over 4 years still running strong.
What was the issue?
Can I guess that it is going 'egg' shaped or ballooning?
I've heard feedback from users and shops about this issue due to weak sidwalls on PS71 and similar Kumho tyres.
so don't buy Kumho?
@Poor Ass: Don’t buy any Asian manufactured tyre, because lives depend on the quality. Stick to Michelin.
@JeBs: What about the Japanese made Michelin tyres?
Michelin is one of my favourite brands but I wouldn't say don't buy all Asian manufactured.. because most likely, even some European or Japanese brands could be made in China and rubber sourced from Thailand
@JeBs: That is a narrow minded perspective. It all depends on compounds and quality control and many Asian manufacturers (and European brands making in Asia) are perfectly safe to use.
Ordered tyres to be fitted December 12 last year. They finally arrived and were fitted 21 Feb…. Just beware MyCar sells a lot more than the supplies they have.
They filled up my oil with extra 1.5L more than the max - had to oil overfill warnings for next 6 months. Rubbish service centre
That is not good. You should go back and ask them to drain the extra 1.5L engine oil immediately instead of driving it for another 6 months.
Yes, this can cause air bubbles to get into the oil if the crankshaft is stirring it up a lot. This will result in poorer lubrication than with the correct oil level.
Increased pressure could also spring more leaks/ruin seals i think.
I wouldn't trust those cockroaches for servicing either
I commented something similar just above. They could’ve caused a serious accident or damage to my car. And they never got the wheels balanced, not even close.
I’d never let them near my car again but I’d buy cheap tires from them
Is wheel balancing included with the purchase of 4 x tyres
Negative. Just fitting and wheel balancing
lol
So wheel balancing is included
But wheel alignment is not
I have run kumho's on my WRX several years ago and where great. They were performance model but can't remember the name. I wasn't disappointed even with 19s and very small tyre wall. It all depends on the model. 2 day lead time in my area so I'm picking up two for my daily
just called to get a price and still more expensive than other stores on a 305 30R19 Kuhmo PS91. Still better to use the price beat but was told they can't do it while this promo is running :S
Kumho vs. Dunlop? Any experience with these brands anyone
Kumho has been fine for me in the past circa 2015. I got 4 tyres $150 each for RAV4. They lasted 8 years and still fine due to low milage but need to change as tyres expire apparently. Welcome to the 21st century where we replace things just cause they expire. Check your tyres and more importantly the expiry dates of your pillows and mattress.
BJ never replied to my email about a price match.
MyCar online chat only wanted to tell me about the tyres their database said suited my car, no hope trying to ask questions about the tyres I wanted. Tried to sell me highway tyres when I wanted AT.
So I tried a price match at Tyresales. Price was matched and they were very helpful and fast with replies.

Seem positive for my size tyre.
Hell yeah, the M2 needs a new set
