2012 EVO Summer Tyre Test

Winner: Pirelli P Zero

Much closer to the tyres above rather than the Nexen below, the Kumho had a relatively strong wet performance. Slow in the dry, and a dull light steering feel give the Kumho a poor subjective score...

Poor steering feel, long wet and dry braking, high fuel consumption, poor wear.

A very average performance from the Kumho KU39 left Kumhos flagship tyre in 9th. Like the Accelera in 10th, the Kumho was ok in the dry, but struggled in the wet.
