I agree with most of that statement, however I think Kumho's are terrible.Personally I like good performance tires and they don't really offer anything up to par. I also don't think their tires are really worth it and I don't like what Continental/General tires offer. For the average driver/car, the tires are fine. But, having worked with them and installing many of them, the quality seems iffy and the price reflects it. I'll stick with Bridgestone, Falken, Yokohama, Kumho, etc..
