How do you pronounce Kumho?
Is it like "*** Hoe" or "Coooooom Hoe"?

koom -hoe, is how I heard it from the tire vendors my last trip out to Summit Point.
Now, if someone can pronounce Dinan for me...
Dee -nan?
Dye -nan? Dye-
nan (like "
dynam ic")?
I haven't dared try to speak the word at the local dealer, even though they carry the stuff, for fear of divulging my ignorance on the matter.

My guess is D flavoured Naan bread. i.e. Dee-Naan.

Most people pronounce it like Kooo-mo. Sounds like "Sumo" Wrestler.
