...It did not let me down, even in heavy rainstorms, where other cars were hydroplaning. I lived in Oregon with these tires, and they did well in rain. I also lived in Socal, with these tires. When Socal highways, get heavy rain, they can be very treacherous... Nevertheless, I was confident with the Kumho TA11, it handled every condition that I threw at it...
These were great tires, they lasted about 53k miles, and would have gone longer. However, one of my rear tires, got two nails in it. One of the nails was lodged in, near the sidewall. My mechanic tried to save the tire, but it popped, unfortunately. I drive a Rear-Wheel Drive, manual transmission, 3rd gen 4runner. Thus, I cannot truly evaluate the "high performance" aspect, of this tire, like a sports car owner. I cannot test the extreme dry traction, etc. Nevertheless, these tires were excellent on my SUV.
They are a very confident tire, in both dry and wet conditions. They provided all of the grip, stability, ride comfort, and durability, that I hoped for. I also had the Kumho Solus KR21 before this one, (another great tire). The KR21, was the tire, that got me into Kumho tires. At this price point, you are getting a very good, all-around tire, that has no weaknesses, (besides strong ice/winter conditions). I have never driven my car in rough Winter weather, or a snowstorm, so I cannot speak on that.
The Kumho TA11 provides good grip, and it has a nice, comfy ride. It is not a loud tire either. The tire is very stable, and it lasts a very long time, without failing, or deforming. (In my experience). The tire inspires confidence. I trust this tire. It did not let me down, even in heavy rainstorms, where other cars were hydroplaning. I lived in Oregon with these tires, and they did well in rain. I also lived in Socal, with these tires. When Socal highways, get heavy rain, they can be very treacherous. Since these roads were not designed to expel heavy rain. Large, hazardous puddles develop, and your car must drive through them, at angles, and they can be very dangerous. Nevertheless, I was confident with the Kumho TA11, it handled every condition that I threw at it. These are excellent tires, and I am buying another set right now, as I type this review. This is a great product. I am a repeat customer!
