: My take on Toyo M/ts vs Kumho both 37"

I have had 37x13.50x24 Toyos for just over 2 years and I absolutly loved them, they were quiet, ran very true and last for about 25k miles. I took them off and sold them with some tread left.
I want to try the Kumho 37x14x24s for 2 reasons, I love the look of them, the tread and sidewall look much more aggresive than the Toyos, second...price, they are about $150 cheaper per tire.
I reasearched to try and find out how the Kumhos rode and sounded going down the road but I could not find any info.
So I bit the bullet and bought the Kumhos. Overall I am happy. They are noticably louder, but nothing out of control, they seem to ride about the same and track just fine going down the road.
All said and done I saved about $600 so I can live with a little more howl going down the road. I just wanted to post up if anyone else was in the same situation. Here are a couple comparing pics.

Damn.... looks good. Ive had 2 sets of Toyos in 37x22 and a set in 40x22... loved em. Kuhmo may be a replacement though!

What are the wheels pictured with the Toyos? Looks good :)

I have almost 7 k on my 38x24 kumho's and they still look new. My buddy got 37k miles out of his 37x22's on his F250. I love mine, but I have never ran a toyo tire. I know they are coming out with this tire in a 40 inch which I will hopefully be getting for my next set.

The 40"x22" Toyos are already out, a buddy of mine just had them put on his Superduty. They are huge!

I was talking about 40x24 inch kumho tires that were at SEMA.

40x24's at SEMA?????
Ive had Toyo's and I went with Kumho's this time. I like the Kumho's. I think the road noise isnt much louder.

I have Kumhos on the truck I just picked up. They look to be wearing pretty fast, the guy said they had about 5k on them when I picked it up and they have about 7k on them now. The sharp edge is gone on them, I'd say they're a 25k mile tire.

i heard the reason toyos are so popular is cuz they dont cup and they wear good, and they are a good all around tire. i havent heard much about how others wear? my BFG ATs cuped like heck. so i might concider toyos for my next tire
