Tires BRIDGESTONE or Kumho
Io io montato delle Bridgestone turanza 6 e le ho tenute anche d'inverno, un grip assurdo anche su bagnato e asfalto freddo
Kumho is a well built tire from Korea.
the Kumho TA51 (assuming TA51a as it is the current production) is a well reviewed and tested very low rolling resistance tire, thanks to a silica-enhanced tread compound. Most reviewers and owners over time generally note a small INCREASE in fuel economy of 1-3 MPG.
Running Bridgestone Potenza Sport on mine. Best tires I have owned so far. Grippy as hell. Faster wear but picked up from Tirerack for about $600 for the set on clearance, so no complaints. Haha
Was running the Firehawk Indy 500s for the past few seasons. No complaints, great summer tire. Switched to the new Potenza Sport AS tire from Bridgestone, so far so good. Less bite then the Indy's but I'm liking them, good all around performance.
I had two sets of the Kumho Crugen HT51 SL. I liked both times and they lasted about 40,000 miles each. Seemed low but they're snow rated so I know those don't get as many miles because the rubber is softer. They handled great in snow/sleet/ice and enabled my front wheel drive van to go through lots of winter weather driving.
This last set (third owned) pissed me off though and barely made it 18,000 miles even with proper inflation and alignment.
Put these on for the first time after running potenza since new; honestly it’s like having a new car. They are the perfect road tyre for this car.
I replaced mine after 27k miles and they were DONE, no thread left on any of them. 13k miles later they look very good, but I have also been rotating them (unlike the Kumho ones).
Kumho and theyre crap
I was looking for a change from the RE003 which was fairly hard riding and not great in the wet
