Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho
From personal experience - go for Bridgestone Turanza 6i.
Bridgestone Blizzak. On par with the x-ice and cheaper.
Honda worked with Bridgestone to make the RE92 tire for the very efficient Honda Insight.
Made roughly a 10mpg difference vs other tires.
Blizzaks are better than X-Ice for snow.
Blizzaks are better in snow, especially deeper snow, but are noisier.
I got a set of Kumho EVO tires for my Model Y about 15 months ago, and they turned out to be a pretty substantial upgrade from the Continental ProContacts the car came with.
I do rate and recommend the TA51a, which carries a composite score of 62 in their "All Season Tires" testing category, just beating out the Falken Aklimate. The RT45, came in two spots above, at a score of 63 and again with their recommendation.
Also 215/55er gibt's von Kumho auch schon für unter 100€ das Stück, da würde ich jetzt nicht zu einem Fabrikat greifen, das im ADAC nicht über "mangelhaft" rauskommt.
Seeing as I am preparing to have to swap them out at 30,000kms I would say they may be one of the worst tires on the market. I do have them (stock) on my EV9 which I have driven relatively gently. Reached out to their warranty department and they refuse to work with me. I don't really want to spend 1500 on a product that drastically underperforms.
I suffered with Ecopia tires for 50,000 miles. Nothing but headaches. Tire wobble at high speeds never went away after numerous rebalances. Nails and screws were seemingly drawn to these tires like magnets, although they repaired well enough to drive around, my tire light was constantly informing me of more trouble. Never buying Bridgestone tires again.
