Dear Pakwheelers,

I want a pair of new tyres for my cultus 2007 vxr as its rear tyres are of different companies and one of the brusted last week and I found that it was made 2006 (shocking). Front Tires are Sumitomo made 2010 but rear I wana change.

Yesterday visited TOP TIRES Faisal town Lahore as Zafer enterprises (importer of Hankook karachi) gave their number and address but they are out of stock for Hankook and Yokohama and supply will arrive at the end of month. Instead they shown me Kumho Solus and Toyo and Ceat tires. I am more inclined towards Kumho but also need your suggestion. Kumho are of mid 2013 with original warranty card while Ceat are only with shop warranty.

Kumho Rs. 5800 & Ceat Rs. 6000 per tire.

Please let me know urgently as I want to get them today in next couple of hours.

Thanks...

@shereabdullah : Thanks bro for sharing the link. that was really awesome but most of the things I already know. Appreciate your contribution.
@ahmedwasiq : Wow, that's great. I also heard that Kumho are great tires. Please share for how much you bought them and was it in yellow packing or red? Also can we spot "made in korea" written on tire? Thanks buddy!

Bro I will be replacing a pair not all 4 and hope to get them in 11000 while for michlen I need to pay 15000. Kumho is also a very good old brand.

nasirjavaid (nasirjavaid) 2014-09-11 09:26:55 +0500 #10

Wow you got them really cheap... means 4500 per tire :o ... Did you checked if they were in red packing or yellow? as even in Karachi their price is 5000 per piece. How about "Made in Korea" stamp?

nasirjavaid (nasirjavaid) 2014-09-17 10:06:12 +0500 #11

Got pair of Kumho tires in 11000 with date of 2014.

kumho is one of the best tyre for the roads of pakistan
and it is in afforable prices also
every person must have to experience it once then he or she never switch to the other brand
if some one want more detail about the tyre and brand contact me.

One year of total satisfaction using kumho solus. Still like new and going strong. Feeling happy for the decision I made

Reviving this thread again as going to replace my rear pair of tires now as they are retired now.
So my review after using them for 4 years is simply awesome. Kumho are running in front and still look brand new so the persons who favored for Kumho in this thread, thanks for your awesome advise and yes you were right, I am not going to switch them with other brand now.
Sadly the shop from where I bought that pair is out of business so looking for new reliable source

Can you tell me at what price did u buy Kumho tyres as I want to purchase 4 tyres for my car (175/70/r13)
And which exact model should I go for ?

Salmaanawan (Salman Awan) 2019-03-14 11:14:58 +0500 #18

Which michelins are you talking about, I would consider purchasing them

ali.jessor1 (ali.jessor1) 2019-03-14 12:09:01 +0500 #19

Is there a difference in Kumho made in China and Kumho made in Korea?
Because China is 5000rs and Korea is 6000

nasirjavaid (nasirjavaid) 2019-03-18 23:02:17 +0500 #20

Go for Korea, they are well worth 1000 extra per tyre. I have Korean since 4 years and still seem new. However now it seems hard to find them so went for GoodYear this time.
Mine are GoodYear at front and Kumho Solus KH25 at back.
