I have the same tires for my car. I like them so far. I only have maybe 2000 mi on them. They are getting some tiny chunks out of the outside on the front tires. But, I think thats because of bad roads and me taking corners so fast that the tires are starting to squeal through them.

Don't expect to go anywhere in the snow with those tires! They get an A+ for rain traction and dry pavement. I have them on my 18s, but during the winter I put the stock 16s back on with All-season tires. We had an early snow this year. I knew I wasn't going to get far, but I attempted to move my car a few feet to fit another car in the driveway. I was only able to go a few inches until snow got in the treads and that was it. The tires just spun. I love these tires, but I would not recommend them at all if you need to drive in the snow, unless you have another set of wheels to use in the winter.

Hope this helps.

I hate Kuhmos. Expect premature, uneven wear.

I have still have my sawblades with snow tires. I noticed that the tires do not hydroplane hardly at all. It has been poouring for the past couple of days and my car has only hydroplaned once.
