Thread: Tyres

Has anyone out there had experience with Kumho tyres on Disco 3 18 inch rims?

I have been fairly happy with the two sets of Pirelli Scorpions my car has gone through but they become very susceptible to punctures after 30,000km. Met a bloke in Brisbane who had Kumhos and said that they were far better than the Pirellis he had used before.

I have the Kumho Solus KL21 in a 265/60 x 18 size. They are definitely not an extreme off road tyre, and I have lost 2 to blowouts on bitumen ( tek screws ) Mine have about 15-20000 on them, and given the tread depth remaining, I think they will be pretty much gone by 30000klms. They have the speed rating, are pretty much noiseless, and handle well in the wet or dry. I think they are better than the OE fitted Goodyears, and are certainly cheaper. I will have a good hard look though, before I put them back on.
