Easy Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 I've got over 53K Km on my original 2011 DJ Kumho tires. Drove them through snow, sleet, ice and rain. No complains. Still have another 20K left on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 27,000+ miles on my 2011 kumhos. I'd say I've got at least 10,000 miles left. Peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windancer Posted August 12, 2013 Report Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) I am going to change out my tires in the next month or two on my 2010 Dodge Journey R/T AWD, the Kumho's will have approximately 42000-44000 km and would probably go another 10,000-15,000 kms, but I want new tires for the winter season. Not the best mileage but reasonable for an OEM tire where they seem to strive for ride as opposed to mileage. I am going to replace them with Michelins 235/55/19, the 225/55/19 size is still causing a bit of a concern, pricing and availability on this size is still way "out to lunch". As has been said numerous times Chrysler has endorsed this size. Terry Edited August 12, 2013 by Windancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Hope you have better luck then I did, I tried a set of Michelin 235's from Costco, they didn't fit correctly and i have to have my old tires put back on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit Costgo was the Plan 'B'. Terry Edited August 14, 2013 by Windancer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Journeyman425 Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'm only up to 4500 miles, but so far these tires are every bit as good as the Michelins on my 300M's. Pilot HX MXM4 on the current car and Primacy MXV4 on the semi-retired M. Smooth, very quiet, excellent dry traction and no hydroplaning issues in wet. All that's left is to see how they perform in snow with FWD and how many miles they last. Rotation is very important. . At this point, if I had to replace the tires, I'd get the same ones again, no question. We'll see in the long run but rightr now I'm very satisfied.

Stretch Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 2011 R/T AWD @ 71000K with Kuhmos and about 1/16" from wearbar . . .looking for a tire with longer life! The Kuhmos have been served well just not getting the distance I had hoped for. . .suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis9935 Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 Not all kumho tires are junk! Just because some models are bad for all season doesn't mean they are all bad! Every manufacturer has a sh*tty tire! I had some high performance kumho tires on my past car and they were well behaved, no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats almost twice as long as most get with kuhmos. Maybe if you went to a solid rubber tire it will last longer. I would not complain at all about getting 71,000 miles out of a set of tires. I'd be bragging about it. Edited April 23, 2014 by jkeaton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jkeaton Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 71,000 kilometers... that's roughly 44,000 miles. Oh....d@mn metric thing......still, 44k miles out of OEM Kuhmos aint nothing to complain about. There are some 50 and 60k tires out there. Pretty hard compound though, might make the ride a little rougher. When it comes to tires, I don't expect more than 40,000 miles, if I get more thats great. I dont keep a car past 100,000 miles (the primiary car anyway). Usually put one set on in that time. I can live with having to buy one set of tires for a vehicle I keep for maybe 4-5 years.

Journey_SeXT Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'd still be happy with 71,000 km's as I don't think mine will last that long and I'm also using snow tires in the winter..... currently got 51,000 km on mine (31,670 miles) and will probably have to switch them next year.
