I just wanted to share my experience with the Kumho LE Sport tires. I like to try out various brands for personal recollection and reviews since our rear tires don't very long. As soon as I had these tires mounted, I had an alignment that was close to 93+ specs but about 3mm toe. I am lowered about 1.4-1.5 inches on Dali/Bils coilovers. Here is a pic of the rears with a little over 2,000 miles:
I did have my rear pressure pretty high at about 40 psi I think and did not catch it in time to correct the inner treadwear... Mostly highway miles also.
I've been chatting with another member up here who used this exact brand/model and had 94 OEM alignment specs and his rears only lasted 3000 miles, so it would appear these particular tires are horrible on treadwear. I was afraid the shop may have somehow screwed up my alignment specs, but it appears that is not the case.
My last sets were FK452 and they lasted about 6k miles maybe without an alignment after I lowered the car. Needless to say I am extreme surprised and disappointed I essentially wasted ~$400 on some rear tires as it did not even last me 6 months...
I've had tires last over 10K miles, but the treadwear was closer to 400/360 or over 300. So how are you guys pulling off ~10K miles on tires like the Dunlop Z1?
