711's suck...that is all h:

 

I like my Kumho's but think they are the 714's or 716's.

 

I got the Kumho 711's over the 712 cause the shop I was dealing w/ couldn't get them for another month or so, it was summer time, I wasn't gonna wait, so I got the 711's

I'm quite happy with them, I'm not an agressive driver always but when I take a few hard turns they grip well. good for the price

 

I have both on my car right now h:

The 712 is definitely the better performance tire... stiffer sidewall and more agressive tread design... I'm not sure if the compound is any different. I run the 712s in front and the 711s in rear to encourage a little oversteer :rick:

 

Search for "Blowout at 100MPH" in the Accord forums.

I had some 711's blowout and wrap around my rim instead of just blowing out. The tread seperated from the sidewall...

 

I agree.

100%

 

I've had both the 711's and the 712's (one after another). The 711's don't suck - they're just not meant to be a spirited driver's tire. They perform well for their price and do well in the dry and in the rain for everyday driving. However, although they are rated to a high speed, I would NEVER take these tires past 100mph. The 712's on the other hand are great for the occasional aggresive driving. They are very predictable - they'll give you an audible warning before you reach their limits.

 

You said it. After two sets of cheapy Kumhos, I will never buy another tire from that company again.

 

711's didn't work well for me, wet, dry, snow, rain, track... anything. Just my opinion.
