On my bmw I ran the Michelin as well but was surprised when I tried the Goodyear asymmetric 4s and 5s, I felt they outperformed the Michelin and cost less.
Owner reviews for tires
The Kumho is a far superior tire from a respected manufacturer based in South Korea. The Radar might look like the better deal up front, but it will likely wear fast and not perform anywhere near as good as the Kumho tires.
I’ve ran both the Continentals and Yokohamas. General is owned by continental and make mid tier tires(continental would high tier in this case)
For your tire size, I’d take continental. The DWS06 is an amazing tire and well worth the price. Ran it on my 2017 Focus ST all winter long in the Portland area and they handled great!
Currently have them on my 2006 Acura TSX in south Cali and same thing. Good ride comfort, handling, and grippy around the corners.
I have been running the Wintrac Pro since Nov '23 they haven't come off yet! This tire has been hands down the very best all season tire I have ever run. Excellent rain and dry performance and very good snow performance. They don't hook up as well as Hakka's because they are a harder compound and they do not break as well on snow as Hakka's. But they are exceptional in more areas. I have driven all summer on them and it is almost winter here now in the PNW mountains of Oregon. I live directly north of Mt.Hoodamd I regularly drive the WRX north to the Seattle area randomly all year including winter. Mostly travel the east route or what locals call the 'backside' route which is much colder and see's more snow. I come west on 90 through the Snoqualmie Valley and these tires inspire confidence. I just measured them at 7/32" of tread left and I have put 25k mi on them in one year. I do feel like they have gotten a bit harder than when new but they still perform so I will run them down to 5/32" and purchase a new set.
I also put the General’s on my Civic because I liked them on her Camry.
Tire upgrade is the single best purchase you can make for this car. Continental DWS 06 tires truly transformed the driving experience.
My 15 has Yokohama Avid Ascent GTs in 195/55R16. The wet handling has been really good in my experience.
I’ve run General AS07 on my Fit before stepping up to dedicated summer tires and I definitely recommend an ultra high-performance all season.
I run wrg4’s for winters and their decent. They’re not loud and they’re fine in the dry and wet. Snow and ice they could better. Not as good as a full winter but better than all seasons.
The tires are trash. Same thing happened to me at 24k miles.
