New Khumos XS from Parts Rack WOW

[pdmracing]

Man have you seen these new street Khumos yet? Finally a lower priced alternative for 17 inch gen 1 & 2 owners. Man they look NASTY! NOTHING like in teh pictures online. I hope they go as good as they look. I will have them mounted tommorow & give a report.

Found them on Tire rack but decided to see if Parts rack carried them. ordered them on friday & the UPS man just dropped them off on monday. Save some $$ over tire rack & no 7% GA tax.

Thanks Jon for the great service & I'll give you a report as soon as I can.

Yeah, I've seen 'em. Too bad they don't come in 18". Maybe they will by the time I go thru my V700's.

Very nice tires I have worn out mine in 4800 miles this summer, but they worked well most of the time and even the track days they wore perfect on my setup. Too bad they are not going to make the 345/19 anymore.

Not sure what I will run next summer, may just run the A6 Hoosiers all the time .

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

By the way Jon, how much for the Hoosier A6's in 345/18 and 335/18? might be buying tires from you next year!

 

[gb66gth]

why no more 345/19's ?

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

why no more 345/19's ?

It is a secret, but they have a reason and don't want the headaches involved.

MARK !! Hoosiers?! If YOU drive any other performance tire than KUMHO your skin could itch.....your cheeks may explode... (all 4!!)

Unfortunately, our margins on Hoosier STINK......... I can only save you about $10, and for those who have to pay sales tax (not Mark) I can erase your 7-9% taxes...... Tahnks


Unfortunately, Kumho cannot be convinced to re-release any street 345-19" (rear) tires for 168+mph cars....

Great...

Glad I just bought a set of 10 spokes. Any word on when production will stop?

 

[mjorgensen Woodhouse]

LOL I know, I know, but I like the $$$ I get from Hoosier for Solo and Pro Solo! Do have much love for The K brand though.

FUNNY !!


*** dont work for me.......they get wasted/ignored.....I used to have them years ago...The alerts dominated my keybord or screen, and work poorly with both our web store and Quickbooks programs. Emails are easier to organize and pend and easier to stay on top of. Better - faster overall service. *** were my litter-box. Bad for service......

Please Just keep getting me the way you have since your first mail in Aug 2003?

Jon,
I ran through 4 sets of these this summer also and they are a GREAT tire even if the 335 is all you can get. The thing I'm looking at is the contingency money I have lost since they pulled all support for my SCCA stuff. I used to not have to buy tires "thanks KUMHO and I miss ya!" Now I do and can subsidize my habit with free tires from Hoosier if I run well. Plus as you stated there are no real discounts to be had on a more expensive tire.

The other reason for the switch is I NEED the 345/18 they have to put any of my power down well and I have the 315 or 335 to choose from for the front.

Jon, How much for a set for a Gen II? on 17's?
