[T3] type3-vwtype3.org - Kumho crap china junk

[Keith Park]

Well Im using the Discount tire "Special Buy" Kuhmo's now to replace the old
ones, So Ive got another 40K or so to go before Im in the market again.

Notch will need tires next, but those are 5 1/2 in rims and I dont haul the
loads in that that I do in the Square.

Yea, I  found stories like this for ALL the brands available at the time,
Nankang  was the worse but Nexen wasnt much better... most tires are made in
China  now and are crap compared to what we had 10 or 15 years ago.   That
being said, the Kumho's are the best tires Ive ever had on the Square,  the
stiffest sidewalls made for the best handling tires, the best ones in  the
rain, the held their balance better than any ive had (cooper,  Kelley,
Michelin) and remained round... until :-)

Ive got 37K on  them, they were a 44Kmi tire and I could have made that had
the belts not  given way.  So I guess while they were a good tire performace
wise,  the cheap rubber and CHinese manufacture aspect have caught up  with
me.

Or I need to stop rock crawling with Cheap  tires!
