Kumho will have these in later this month, word has it they will be doing deals on them, stock will be limited so if you want some I suggest you snap em up quick.

How sure are you on this, I heard its all crap and Kumho would never make 35" in 15" rim as the only market for this was Oz and NZ and it wasn't big enough for them?

yup, they do talk shite

for years I hassled the reps about the 833s and they fed me bullshit the whole way, coz they had no fricking idea and couldn't be arsed getting hold of someone in korea to find out.

I would play the wait n see game on these tahs

but if past history is anything to go by, they don't have a big enough market for 35s

he may well be right

just looked up a couple of sites and it seems they do actually make a 35/12.5R15 KL71, so they may be bringing it here too.

lets see what happens

I think this belief that it wouldnt be viable for kumho to make them in a 35" is slightly mislead, I;ve been after them for some time and ended up buying 33's, the reason for the 35's not being here was that they were being snapped up in the american market and we simply couldn't get any. Now, I've been told a shipment is on the way with around 130 units and am simply saying that if anyones interested you'd wanna keep your eye open and snap some up asap. I don't imagine they'd last long, the 31's, 33's sell like halfprice hookers.

yes they are coming they were bringing them in as a 18" 35 and after much discusion with my rep as to weather or not I could indent some ex us I was informed that they had secured some manufacture and will be on there way. I for one will be grabing a few sets as soon as they land for my store. :mrgreen:

i wasn't being sarcastic with that comment, they WERE a bargin price when they were on special.

Had a look now and almost had a heart attack at the new price haha.

No ones forcing us to buy from there though so its all good.

I couldn't find anyone that listed 35s

but the 33s are actually 32.3
and the 37s were 36.2

so would imagine the 35s are around the 34.25 mark

They measure 34 and a half inches. They are a good all round tyre, but the side walls are weak, I have now puncture three over the years. That's a good price as I paid $312 each and the supply price from the supplier is not much cheaper then that. I then had to pay $20 a tyre to fit and balance. They were awesome in the snow last weekend and especially on the slippery icy road between Farlie and Geraldine. Got a club trip to Kopara in two weeks so will give them a try out in what is definitely simex country. have never been in there without the aggressive simex/silverstone type of tyre.
