Have replaced the set of 4 original Goodyear tires on my 2004 54 reg Civic that were found to be noisy and hard and wore out after less than 16,000 miles with a set of the Kumho tires. The change was immediate! Very quiet and smooth with no 'vibration' feedback through the steering as before. Very good in the recent bad rains - gives full confidence, and have so far shown a slight improvement in fuel consumption. I have not yet undertaken a long motorway run, but on roads I have to use (Scottish Borders) they have been brilliant. Too early to report on wear, but I would certainly recommend them and would not hesitate to buy again.
