I decided to swap the OEM Kumho tires for a set of CC2s with just 350 miles on the car.
My butt sensor says the CC2s ride a lot more softly than the OEM Kumhos. The ride feels more compliant and less sharp over potholes, expansion joints, etc. I find the CC2's ride to be noticeably better than the Kumhos. The CC2s also solved 90% of the steering wheel vibration issue.
I have kumho tires on my car. I bought it brand new in 2020 and they are just getting to the point where I will probably need to replace them in the next few months. I have 39,000 miles on my car so I guess that's pretty good for a mid-grade tire.
Now I’m using Bridgestone Dueler HT 840 which is also great and comfortable and more sturdy than the Khumo.
I got the KU22 all seasons on my 4th gen 3 sedan a few weeks ago and its pretty nice. Not that much road noise, good grip.
I’ve been running Kuhmo from Walmart for nearly 2 years and they’ve been awesome!
In that size, and I know because I run the same, is the unsexy (and unbothered by it) Kumho Ecsta V730. Good tire, quick tire, lives well with the heat, takes abuse from camber limited cars, and is the cheapest super 200 out there.
I just put these on our Commodore in 245/45R18. They replaced a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE003's. Initial impression is that they aren't any noisier than the Potenza's, possibly a bit quieter. Haven't driven in a heavy rain yet but the performance on slick roads was also good. My biggest concern is that they were going to totally spoil the handling but cornering at civilised speeds is still satisfying. Certainly they don't have anywhere near the dry grip of the Potenza's but they're fine for everyday use.
I have the 19” khumo creugan and I had 14k miles when I swapped to winters in November, now I have another 2k on them this spring, and I we am a couple 32nds from the ware bars in the tread. So prabably on track for 20k and they will be gone.
Yep same thing happened to me, my OEM tires were shit. I had like 16k on mine. Normal driving, not aggressive or anything. Literally only lasted a year. Mine were Bridgestones.
That’s probably the number 1 thing I research when I buy tires now, I hate the loud hum some tires get as they wear. I’ve had two sets of Kumhos and I won’t be buying a third.
