I've already had/have an issue with a pulling to the right, then to the left after I swapped the fronts. Shop told me alignment is "spot on" and it has to be a tire. I moved the suspected problem tire from RF to RR and pulling ceased. I took it to Goodyear, explained I narrowed down the bad tire. They marked it, rotated back to the original location at LF and pulling is gone -- and has been gone for just over a month. Odd.
Still once, in a while, the steering wheel is a little off center.
It will take awhile to wear these out, but I will be relieved to go with a better brand with Discount Tire when they do.
I'm also a big fan of Kumho tires in general and have used this same model (KR21) in a different size on my car trailer (don't ask, it's a long story) for the past year and a half with no problems. I've had their Road Venture A/T's on the rear of my VW 'dune buggies for two years along with a set on my 4x4 which gets driven like a go-kart on the street and like a Rally car in the dirt. So far no complaints or problems with any of them.
And their made in Korea, not China
(although I have a couple of sets of Chinese tires rolling around here too) :shifty:

Is this a 45K tire? How do I know the mileage if it's not listed?
I just checked America's Tire Co and they show a Kumho Ecsta 4X KU22 which fits a 2010 Corolla (205/55-16) which has a 40,000 mile warranty. I know I've seen the Solus KR 21's on a Corolla recently but didn't catch the size they were running or the year of the Corolla. Accoriding to Kumho's website the KR21's have a limited 80,000 mile warranty.

At my auto center I once had a customer who had 112,000 miles on his tires and they still had 3-4 32nd's of tread left! (The legal limit is 2/32nd's). I was absolutely astounded. He did take very good care of his tires though with regular rotations, rebalancing, checking the air pressure every week and regular wheel alignments. He drove a lot of miles per year, something to the tune of 40,000 miles and it was 95% highway miles he accumulated commuting to work and back.
The tires were the General XP-2000, which was a wonderful tire that isn't made anymore, sadly.
General does make some very good tires and at a reasonable price.
But generally, most tires will last about 40,000-50,000 miles with the use, (or abuse), that most motorists have with their tires.
