Give me a break, The Kumho KH Series of Tyres are a winner for NZ road conditions. I've read the reviews, what a load of crap. Most of you winers are driving "Front Wheel drive Cars" and the Hyundai late model vehicles seem too precious to handle a fantastic tyre. I got full traction on a wet road making a right turn from a standing start planting the boot in a falcon ute with and empty tray with no tail sway...if that isn't good traction in the wet then nothing is. These are made of good rubber, get a wheel alignment to reduce wear and while good value are a performance tyre in my view....would definitely repeat the purchase.
