I hear they wear out at an alarming rate.

Is this when people thrash them though? They'll have an easy life with me. But nice to know the grips there in emergencies

Can't say that I noticed, then again, everything wore fast on the front of the 9-5. In fact it wasn't until owning the omega that I realised "front tyre worn close to the legal limit" wasn't pre-printed on every MOT certificate

Check out the independent customer reviews.

Apart from wear the tyre seems to be well liked.

.... my Kumho's are 68

I once put a pair of Kumhos (no idea now which) on the front of my Senator and IMHO they were terrible

No doubt this sort of experience informs many of our purchasing decisions. Back in the day I put two Dunlop tyres on the front of a Mk1 Consul, one split down the tread centre 2 miles down the road. Dunlop refused to admit that it was faulty. I have never bought another Dunlop tyre.(Are they still made? )

Yes, although they're 75% owned by Goodyear.

Thing is, they are designed to perform well in wet weather, the side effect of that is that they will wear quicker in the dry.
