My strong suggestion is to stay away from Kuhmo tires. I have had bad experience with the tire sidewall wearing out and leaking air. I've been driving for 37 years and have never seen this happen before. I purchased 4 new Kuhmo tires for my BMW 530i and kept air pressure correct in all 4 tires all the time (plus car has tire pressure warning system). One of the tires kept losing air slowly and I couldn't find a leak in the tread, no nils or screws or cuts etc. I then found leak by putting tires in water bath and lo and behold, the sidewalls just softened and degraded the rubber. I am very lucky it didn't blow out. Needless to say I replaced all 4 tires and threw out the Kuhmos even though there was still decent tread left. Also, I rotated tires. They had maybe 35,000 miles over about 2 years.
