Berto Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) So, after Steve posted his thread about getting new tires because his Kumho's went out on him I started thinking about changing my tires because what if that happens often with Kumho's. Well.... Now why would I post pics of my Kumho Tires and say Steve jinxed me? Hey that not all that bad.... DAAAAAAAAAAMN!

Hellbound Train Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Dont have low profiles on my ranger but I do have kumho so I hope I dont have any problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berto Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Yeah, it's pretty bad. So now I have another little stepping stone in the way of my system, cuz I think I'm switching to Pirelli if I don't get this fixed with Kumho. I've been looking at the Pirelli P-Zero Nero's, but they're kind of picey, but worth it. And I have no idea how it happened either, because I keep my tires with the right air/tire pressure and they are getting moisture or anything for them to have slightly rotted or anything, and it couldn't have been someone slashing my tires because the car is in my garage. And the thing that confuses me the most is that the 2 tears are on the inside part of the tire.

treossi Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 i used to sell tires at a few places... and i've seen nothing but bad things happen to the low pro kumhos... the "regular" style kumhos don't seem to do that though... i've had a set of 17s from them... i drove em till they were bald Quote Team sundownWESTCOASTSPL.COM we're throwing dbdrag events very soon visit the website for details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wL<3bass Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 Seems like all the 45-55 series kumhos do fine...might be the low pros that are having problems...I'm surprised there isn't a law suit about the tire already.

Guero3384 Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 DAAAAAAAAAAMN! Honestly what it looks like there cause of low tire pressure look at how low your tire is in this picture looks really low thats is usally the main cause of cracks i learned this the hard way as well.. now i check my tire presurre either once a week or ever 2 week and keep them around 35 PSI since then never have had a problem/.......

Actually none of my tires are ususally under or over inflated. I think that tire is like that because of the cracks, that's why I'm gonna take that rim off the car so my tire wont go completely flat and damage my rim.
