Kumho tyres any good?

I am looking at Kumho KH16 tyres for the MY05 Forester ... on road driving
only ... are these tyres worth $135 AUD per tyre?

Thanks!

I am happy with mine on my Outback, but I paid $50 per tire mounted.
At 1.2 AUD per USD, that's half your quote. It depends however on the
size and service category. The range on tirerack.com is $44-$77.

I'm impressed enough with theKumho ECSTA ASXs on my WRX that I might get
them again.
The Kumho Solus on the Outback? - meh

Yep, a *brilliant* tyre, especially considering the price.

Can only comment on the Ecsta which I got recently fitted to new 19s on the
barge. Quite a good tyre for the price in both wet and dry conditions.
Despite being lower profile they are actually quieter and ride better than
the Fullruns and Nankang NS2s I had on the old 18s. If the KH are of
similar quality then I'd say definitely worth the dollars.

Have had two sets of Ecstas and both last well and were damn good all
rounders. Neither car was a race spec nor driven so but for carting my
children about they were fine and when they wernt in the car they worked
even better ;o)

Fair enough, but unless Coaster can get self and the car to the US and
back for under $200 US it's still cheaper to go with the local price

Kumho ECSTA ASX suck when compared with Dunlop Sport A2 (IIRC the
difference in price is not that big). I have ASX on Impreza 2.5 TS as
opposed to A2 (mounted on my Outback) are very squeaky on the corners. I
feel more confidence driving bigger car at the same speed.
