I hadn't, but some quick Googling turns up the reason why. They started as
a small Korean tire maker and only recently expanded; building a plant in
China to sell tires on the global market.

Might be fine, but with the recent Chinese tire recall (along with all the
other dangerously defective products from China that have made the news
recently), I think I'll let someone else try them first.
And from what I've heard, although they are in short supply, orders for the
Kumho 165/15 tires (at $78 a pair) are being filled. Kumho is building a
new plant in the US, which should be online by next year, hopefully ending
the shortage.
