Very good tyre and bought on a whim when a tyre website had them at the same price as the Toyo T1-R. Only thing which has disappointed me is the wear rate. I drive a powerful FWD car and they were on the front but they have only lasted about 6000 miles, however there was a little track work included in that. Would buy again, but only if as cheap as Toyos. I have had better wear from Toyos.

I bought four Kumho Kw23 winter tyres a few weeks and only past the few days only really shown how good their are. I live in a hilly part of Bradford and since I had a early start I thought I would try the untreated hill roads by me. I went up hills which I would have avoided with my usual tyres, I kept the traction button on but not once did the wheels slip. The roads has a covering off snow with a lot of ice about. I was not sure about spending £££ on winter tyres since for the past few years I have used winter socks but glad I did. Bought the tyres and wheels from Mytyres

Third set of tyres on front since purchasing the car new. Now 60k on clock.
Fronts 1st set 26k 2nd set 21k 3rd set a disappointing 13k, especially the nearside which has worn in the centre although the tyre pressures have always been correct. Rear tyres 1st set 47k and still going well on the second set.
The tyres are bad in snow having no cross banding.
But overall, I feel confident with the in both wet and dry conditions.

Easily the best all-round tyre that I have ever used. Better than the Excellence, far better than the awful P6000's. The GY Eagle F1's beat them for extreme dry weather performance, but in wet conditions nothing came close.
After a short while using them I *tried* to aquaplane...the deepest puddles; high speeds...before giving up. Just amazing.
I didn't find that the wear was great, but then my car wears out all front tyres quickly; it's heavy, torquey, and I use the pedal quite hard. I would say that 10K front and 25K back would see these down to 2mm. Not too bad.
Lateral stability is good with little drift. Pushing them hard into corners gives good feedback.
I'veused them mostly on country A-roads, but with a few thousand miles on motorways too at *around* the speed limit ;)

Great tyre. Even seems to give good mpg. The only downside is the haggling/shopping needed to get the purchase price down to a reasonable level.

Good tyre for the money,excellent wet weather performance, wear was a slight dissapointmentbut over all feeling of safety makes up for this.
Fitted to a Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDI, 20000 miles sees the front tyres needing replaced but this has been much country roads and I am a fairly spirited driver. Over all I would recommend these tyres to others and I will be fitting them again to my car.

Always gets good reveiew from magazines and I can see why.
But no discernible effect on fuel consumption and faster wearing than any other tyre I've had.
I'm not going there again.
