KUMHO TIRES | TIRE BUYING GUIDE
Kumho Tire began in the 1960s in Thailand and now makes tires in eight manufacturing plants throughout Asia, mostly in China but also in South Korea and Vietnam. Kumho has a sales, marketing, and product development facility in Atlanta, Georgia, as well. Kumho tires are OEM tires for several automakers, including Hyundai, Audi, Volkswagen, and Nissan among others.
Are Kumho tires good? With a tire maker the size of Kumho, it’s hard to rate and review an entire brand. You need to look at individual tires to assess whether they are right for your budget and driving needs. Look at the treadwear as well as the warranty and customer feedback. That said, Kumho is seen as a decent brand with affordable prices.
Kumho Tire Categories
Kumho offers tires in these categories: all-season, touring all-season, all-terrain, on and off-road, performance all-season, performance summer, performance touring all-season, and summer. They make tires for passenger vehicles, light trucks and SUVs, crossovers, and commercial vehicles.
The US Department of Transportation established guidelines for rating tires, which include three metrics for treadwear, traction, and temperature. You can view traction and temperature ratings for individual models of tires on our website as you shop for tires. Here, you can compare average treadwear for Kumho tires against other tires in the same tread categories. All-season tires rated 542 are expected to wear slightly longer than most in the all season category under normal driving conditions.
