avoiding another car and went to a pot hole and it jus happen like this.
it didnt even last a yr. wasted tires.

well have fast were you going? i mean that could happen to any tire it all depends on the speed, and size of the pot hole. I always though that Kumaho Ecstas were pretty decent tires.

get the road hazzard option next time u buy tires, its costs like 10 bucks more per tire but it saves you alot of money in the long run. especially in cases like this. you'd get a new tire and all u'd have to pay for was the road hazzard on the new tire. everything is pro rated so once you use more than a quarter of the tire its gonna cost more money, but still significantly cheeper than having to buy a new one.

I liked mine...
But I had the same problem.
The "z"'s are sticky and wear quickly but thats to be expected from a performance tire. I also hit a hole, and had the same problem, but worse. Road hazard is a good option, to having to pay full price for another tire. Anytime you have a very low profile tire, you run the risk of damaging the sidewall from pot holes. I'd def. get that tire looked at to see if it is safe to run or whether it needs to be replaced.

that tire definatly needs to be replaced, dont' drive on it, order a new tire, and put the spare on.

regardless of how old your tire is, its a baldy. It should be replaced anyhow.

Chickenball

Kumho's are the best deal for the money. Couldn't beat the kumho price with a stick. I think you had bad luck with that pothole.

I suppose the pot hole had a sharp edge. It happen to mee too going about 60 KMH on a dark road, the crack happen on both sides of the tire, it was a 195/50R16 Continental, very expensive too, I only had it for about 10,000kms When I passed by the next day, the pot hole was deep and had sharp edge, damn!

I wouldn't run with those tires neither, unless you want to run the risk of damaging your wheel or worse..... also (from the pic) it looks like the pothole took a little piece of your wheel on the second pic....I would take a look at that.... POT HOLES SUCKS!

I had ecstas on my eclipse and never had a problem.... but damn, I would never let my tires get that bald either.

Ha. wanna have some fun next time you buy a set of tires? When the "customer service" person asks if you want the road hazard warranty tell him yes...but only on one tire.

I did this to a guy at Sears and the look of confusion on his face was well worth it.

My Kuhmos work great.

I had to replace one though. I bubble'd a side wall in five spots during one sharp *** turn.....free replacement, only cost me $11 for the labor.

i had the escata 712's. loved them but i had a real problem with slipping in the rain.

kumho tires suck, theres a new tire out from bridgestone/firestone, its called fuzion zr6 or something, i heard its supposed to be a good tire, try that tire out!

Can you be any more vague?

That's like saying food sucks.

Kumho offers a shitload of variants of tires.

Try telling all of the auto-X champions that run the Victoracers and V700s that Kumhos suck.



The tires we're looking at are H-rated Kumho 711s. They are an awesome tire if you want higher mileage sporty looking tires.

If anyone bases their opinions on any tire company by judging then solely on a picture of DRIVER ERROR, then he/she is an idiot.

Next time don't hit a curb, and also don't expect any tire to hold up to such conditions.

Dude what the **** are you saying?

You mean to tell me that you're blaming the TIRE for the damage to the wheel and tire in those pics?

Have any of you ever considered that the DRIVER SHOULD NOT HAVE HIT THE ******* POTHOLE?!?!?!

i've had the 712's for over a year, and i've never had a problem with them slipping in the rain. matter of fact, i think they perform the best when it's wet.. any tire is going to give a little bit when you take a turn at 30 when it's wet.

Have YOU ever accidentally hit a pothole? I'm sure you have.

I live in Upstate NY and the roads here are terrible...No matter how careful you drive you are bound to his a pothole or some shitty bumps that are impossibly to avoid. Are you saying if you drove on shitty roads all day and your tires were bumming out like that it would be your OWN fault?

turboman

I bought new tires drove on them the next night hit a pot hole and destroyed 2 of them. Not even 25 miles on the dam things.

You missed the point of Tom's post there. He's saying that the tire would not have exploded had you not hit the pothole. Meaning, it doesnt matter where you live or how many potholes there actually are. The only think that matters is that you HIT a POTHOLE and it caused your tire to rupture.. Had you not hit the pothole then you would have a fine tire and would not be complaining about kumhos.

It doesnt matter how many potholes there are. It's still driver error when you hit one.
