Several buddies run that tire on their wings.
What pressure are you running?

Welcome Rockin, most folks on the run flats are between 30-36 psi. Welcome and enjoy.
See you out there

Robin,
I posted a question in another post but no one answered it yet, maybe someone will from here!
I just ordered my Kumho today and will probably install next week BUT
did you see the spec sheet where it says NOT TO run these tires near freezing temps?
I mean even though I live in Florida last year was pretty cold and I've taken my bike to work plenty of times near freezin temps'
Just wondering if this tire will be ok or not in those conditions and if not I wonder why they say that.
Ordered mine from here, good reviews about these people too as I checked before hand.

this tire seems to track with the rain grooves a little with my old tire (dunlop3) in the front, well worn. new excedra installed and wobble left after 100 miles or so. will be checking for leftside wear.

wobble's not gone, just at a lower speed 40 mph down. not as bad as before tho.

Pete,
I ran my Kuhmo last year in temps down to 2 degrees with no issues. I run 32 PSI year round. bump it up to 34 two up.
Ran the Continental before that with no issues either.

Hey, I've gotta 2003 GW too with the exact same tire. I've had the Kumho mounted for about 3 months and have to say it was a really great decision. I do feel a little anxious in the rain though, but I feel that way anytime I'm riding. I use a Metzler 880 on the front and wonder if I should have mounted a rear MC tire on the front. I'm still doing the research to see if I want to make this change in the future.
Best, Darrell
