Wheels/Tyres: Anyone tried Khumo KL 12 - 235/60R18 107V ?

[timh30]

Hi - as per the title has anyone tried the KUMHO KL 12 - 235/60R18 107V XL TL tyres? My wifes XC90 needs 2 new fronts (thinking maybe I should do all 4?) and these seem the best price at £87.90 (+fitting).

I've had Khumo's on my V70 for a couple of years and I've had no issues with them whatsoever, but obviously they are not a 4x4 tyre.

Cheers,
Tim.

I had these on mine (well the marshal version) when I got mine. They we at least half worn and did a further 12k or so before I replaced them. I know have the khumo ecsta stx ones which are very good both on and off road. They are wearing well with no visible sign of wear 10k after fitting.

Got these on mine...fine. Good grip in snow and I have no problems in the dry. Mine are now 60% worn [fronts 11k miles rears 21k] but I think are getting noisier on coarse surfaces but maybe no worse than any others. Have had Nokian and Contis in the past and to be honest I dont think there is a lot to choose between them except price!

Thanks for your feedback guys. I'll probably go ahead and order a pair of these then.

I think the KL12 and the Ecsta are the same tyre - at least I ordered KL12's for mine and they say Ecsta on them! Very impressed so far (done about 4000 mls and no sign of wear), and were very good on the snow in December. Well worth the money I'd say.

Your right I ment the KL51 were on the car where as the KL12 are what I have now and they are very good work well in the snow and ice and offroad.
