Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications Wheels & Tires Kumho 712 x Dunlop A2 60

Ok.. I had before the Dunlops A2 60 (or something like that) on my 15" wheels... Now I have the Kumho 712 on the 16" rims...

I used to love the Dunlops and I HAD NO problems on the rain, and I could enev handle some 6 inches of snow with them...

How about the Kumhos ??


I already heard people saying they are terrible on the snow.... how about in the rain ???

How do they compare to average tires ?? How about against Dunlops ??

They rock in the rain!

You can take sweeping turns on the highway at 80-90 mph in a downpour and not worry about losing traction.

Although, I recommend that you observe your posted speed limit at all times!

In the snow?

You are joking, right??

Almost killed myself in a freak late April snow storm this year after I had put my snow tires away for the season...

Kumho 712s are summer tires! Don't even consider their snow capability...they have none!

Summer tires have rubber compounds that do not perform well in freezing conditions. Not to mention the tread designs are such for wet and dry performance only.

Also you can't compare D60 A2s (fine H-rated all-season performance tire) to 712s (fine V or Z-rated high performance summer tire).
