Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Kumho Tyres you get what you pay for.

Really quite surprised by the OPs comments. Kumho tyres are one of the brands recommended in Lotus circles as giving good grip for track days etc - and unlike the barge referred to, grip is everything on a Lotus.

I wonder if coincidentally something went wrong with the drive or suspension

I didn´t think that Kumho tyres lack grip. Maybe there is a wide variety of qualities in Kumho tyres. The Lotus bunch use Kumho V700 for the Elise.

I just bought a set of Kumhos for the Clio after seeing them as OE spec on VWs. The traction control now lights-up on a spirited commute, something that never happened on worn Contis.

How many people who have the luxury of a spare wheel have a 4 or 5 year old tyre which is useless. I believe there is a compound in new tyres which helps to preserve the rubber but needs to be driven 50 miles + to release it. So perhaps best to put your new spare on & drive it a few miles

Agreed - most tyres do come with a finish which needs wearing off. A couple of good runs will improve them quickly.
