Bought to put on a car for sale. Seem absolutely fine on the highway. They're tires, they're cheap, they're the right size, and they're the right OEM for the car.

Tire were good when new in wet weather, but after about 15k miles the wet weather performance was horrible. On wet roads the tires will spin when pulling out at at a red light (no matter how easily I am with the gas petal). Haven't had a problem stopping though thank goodness.

This is a good, cheap tire- I put on a lot of miles so it does not make sense to me to spend more than $60/tire Have to note that after about 25-35K they really fall apart- the balance is always off because they do not wear evenly. They are ok in snow when new- after a year- I recommend caution in wet weather.
Might decide to go with a different brand next time...

Features & Benefits
All-season tread
Black sidewall
Built with variable pitch tread blocks that reduce road noises for a quiet, comfortable ride
Today's drivers often want a tire that performs year round, and drivers of small and mid-sized and hybrid cars are no different. Knowing this, Kumho built the Sense KR26 with a special rubber compound that allows for strong performance year round. A rigid block arrangement enhances handling performance, and the Sense KR26's added sipes provide additional biting edges that strengthen traction. Designed with variable pitch tread blocks that reduce road noises for a quiet, comfortable ride, the Sense KR26's tread pattern is optimized to promote a long tread life.
